Hi all
Not posted for ages but I just got back into a 2009 gen 2, just want to pick your brains about gearing.. presuming g the gearing is standard on my bike I'd say there's scope for +1 or -2 on the rear ? She's happy in 6th sub 30mph even 25 and singing higher up may improve mpg and ridability somewhat if I mod.. this may have been covered already in previous threads but I can't find them so apologies if I am opening an old discussion and thanks in advance

Any ways of telling an ivanised fazer without looking up its skirt?? Mine seems to go well very well, just wondered if there was any tell tale signs the previous owner hadn't commented on weather it had been done or not but the owner before him was well into them and did a lot to the bike himself

You may remember my workshop bing bang starting issues.
Here is the spill that comes with it 
Cold weather -2 Celsius this day, and the bike was not starting at all. After Nth try it has started. Before starting there was fuel explosion in the exaust can. That has happened twice this day. Once in the morning and once on the way home from work. Apprently the explosions has disconnected my link pipe. The pipe has touched the ground I have crashed rodeo style. Luckily it was not the motorway.
How do you call that? High side, low side? The back of the bike has trown me up I got back on the saddle and got down with the bike. I think its low side.
Here is the video here:

All excellent advice & suggestions. Its amazing what a little "fine tuning" can make to the feel & action of controls. While you are checking have a look at clutch adjustment. Even angle of levers & pedals in relation to bars/footpegs can make a huge difference. Dont be embarrassed-we are all learning new stuff every day!
Thanks dave, I did actually adjust the lever position the other day both the clutch and the brake lever were to low for me now it's more comfy

Handy tip easy to monkey it if you didn't know that and I didn't! So thanks again

Yes you can adjust the height by rotating the linking rod. Check the position of the gear lever where it attaches to the splines. There is a dot on the shaft that should line up with gear lever arm. Make sure that you check if the linkage rod is rubbing on the frame. If it's adjusted correctly it should be completely clear of the frame with lever in up change and down change position. 
may have a look tomorrow afternoon if I get finished early and the rain that is forcased slings it hook, I'll check make sure the dots line up would never had known that !

Only came across this now.
This is a common enough problem with a badly adjusted gear lever and easy enough to check and for some strange reason effect 2nd to 3rd gear mostly.
Ride the bike and when you are in second gear move your foot away from the lever completely, then return you foot to change gear again.
If it goes in every time you do this then the lever is adjusted to low
The problem occurs because the lever has not returned completely to the home position as your boot is holding it slightly off the home position and when you go to change again you get the blank as you describe.
This would explain it, if needed I assume you can adjust the position via the linking rod rather than on the splines?

Sammy Miller's is a great day out
Loads to see there I love the place only been once, the roads in the forest are sublime I like to take it easy and appreciate the surroundings there not fussed on blurring the scenery to much down that way..
