My Gen1 has done 32500 miles and I was getting a bit of cam chain noise so I thought I'd give mine a check over,
This is new territory to me so I dug out Mr. Haynes.
Started the procedure by removing the cap bolt but as I read on, realised I would need a new seal if I was to remove the unit (which I don't have) so......
Instead, with the tensioner unit in situe, I put a screwdriver down into the hole and turned the plunger screw clockwise.
There was a definite resistance at first, as if it was slightly seized, but it then turned freely and could clearly be felt to be loading the spring.
When I eased the turning pressure, the screw was then returned to it's original position by the force of the spring and you could hear the contact as the plunger hit the chain again.
The screw now turns, tensions the spring and returns smoothly without me doing anything more to it.


There is no more cam chain noise.


So it appears to my small brain that a major seizure has been averted and I don't REALLY need to remove the tensioner unit for greater investigation but could it really be that simple.....?

In good nick but judge for yourself in this vid...

Hugger comes with no fixings but uses your existing chain guard and rear brake line mounting screws.

The bike is in Crewe, Cheshire. 10 mins from Junctions 16 and 17 of the M6.
 I am the owner of the bike. It is registered in my name and can be viewed at the same address as the V5 Registration Document.


 
 This will be the 3rd bike I've sold through eBay and ALL the previous buyers are still speaking to me ) 100% Feedback.....


 
 I've only had my pride and joy since March this year. However, due to a marriage split in May, I need to sell in order to get a car for when I have my daughters.
 It was bought from a Honda main dealer and had everything done pre-sale to see the bike through to March next year.

The following was done in March this year...
It was serviced and fully checked over for the MOT.
MOT'd til March 2013
New front pads. Tons left in them
New Maxxis Supermaxx front and rear tyres. I'd never heard of the make but after doing 2500 miles in ALL weathers, I can't fault them and there's still bags of life left in them.
EXUP stripped and greased. Cables adjusted
 I have since fitted...
Fender Extender
Hein Gericke Heated Grips
12v Socket
Optimate lead.
ALL OF THESE WILL BE STAYING ON THE BIKE
 I have JUST carried out another oil change.

There are 3 previous owners to me. The owner before me had it for 8 years.
 
When I say totally reliable I MEAN it. I would go anywhere on this bike tomorrow without hesitation.
 The bike starts first time EVERYTIME. It then runs, rides and pulls hard EXACTLY as it should.
 All electrics are spot on.


 
 There was no documented service history with the bike when I bought it. It didn't put me off though as no bike would get to 10 years old and still look this good if it hadn't been well maintained.
 I was also buying it from a Honda main dealer who know more about bikes than me and they were clearly confident enough to sell it.
 I do have all the old MOT's though to help verify the mileage.


 
 In Summary:
2002 (02 Reg.)
32500 miles
MOT March 2013
Tax til end Sept 2012
HPI clear on all counts
 Semi synthetic oil change JUST done, again.
TOTALLY reliable
Buy it, ride it, enjoy it.... needs nothing til March 2013.
Just a brilliant solid, honest bike

Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer 1000 For Sale on Ebay

This video was made and all pics were done on Sunday 29th July 2012. This is the bike as it is right now.

Ordered a 25mm jack up kit and just finished fitting it.
Wasn't sure if it was wise to do it after work as I could have buggered it up and left myself without wheels for the morning.
Anyway, all went well with no dramas and I quite enjoyed doing it. Even cleaned and re-greased bolts, bushes and bearings.
Old dog bones centre of hole to centre of hole were 144mm. New ones c2c were 140mm.
Just sitting on the bike, suspension feels a touch firmer (good) but not ridden it yet.


If I'm honest, I'm a little underwhelmed as I can't see any real difference to the profile of the bike and my feet seem to touch the ground to the same degree as before, so can you guys spot the difference?


Before and after shots below (not necessarily in the right order). Didn't replicate camera angle very well though, sorry.

Bought one of these last October and it has been superb!
I reckon in 7 months it's paid for itself at least twice over in saved labour costs.
I thought it would only be a short-term offer but it looks like they're still doing them.
It's weird though because if you go in the store, it's not on display but other more expensive and less well-equipped sets are.
However..... if you reserve it through the website here and take your reservation number in with you, they produce one from out the back and Bob's your uncle.

The experience is bit like collecting your regular copy of Razzle in the 1980's....... apparently 
A very strange set-up as I think they'd sell shed loads if they were on display.
So far I've only had to top up with a 32mm for the rear axle nut.
I know there will be other bits and pieces to add but for £60!!!?

Came off my old Kappa Zippy 46 (equivalent of Givi V46).
Two screws to fit (included)
Pretty good used condition with no splits or tears.
UK mainland postage (not Highlands and Ireland) £4.50 or collect from Crewe Cheshire
Looking for £20 excluding P+P


Topbox not included. It can be but you wouldn't want it, it's knackered.

Had my current Gen1 1000 for about a month now and finally got round doing all my tweaks including firming up my front and rear suspension which was bouncier than a space hopper on a trampoline.


According to the owner's manual, the range of adjustment for the rebound damping on the front forks is 17 clicks.
I started with the adjusting screws turned fully clockwise to the firmest setting. To get to this, the left screw took at least 25 clicks and the right probably a couple less (not the most promising of starts).
I'm a big (ish) bloke but I was by no means forcing the screws to get them to the hardest setting (I stopped as soon as I encountered reasonable resistance).
Both screws were then at the same point of firmness, however.....
Whilst the right screw height was probably 1mm above flush with the spring preload bolt, the left screw was a good 3mm down inside the preload bolt.
I re-checked the right screw and there was no way it would turn enough times to get it down to the same height as the left.
With this slightly odd starting point I turned each screw counter clockwise 7 clicks to get the damping on the comfier side of firm.


I've also adjusted the spring preload and compression damping to what I think should the best balance for my size and riding style.
There is a noticeably nice firming up of the pitch of the bike when I apply the front brake but it's only been tested with me pushing the bike.
I'm hoping to test it properly tomorrow and I'm looking forward to experiencing the change in ride but I'm still a little worried about the uneven height of the rebound damping screws.


Are the screws supposed to be the same height or is it the number of clicks from the same starting point the most important factor?


Should I be worried?

Fitted a Givi Monorack to my bike and as I use the topbox every day, I'm pretty sure I don't need the original grab handles.
Before anyone gets too excited though, I'm not going to give these away as they are in very good order and hard to get hold of (I mean they're rare. They're obviously easy to get hold of because they are grab handles!   )

They even still have the rubber body protectors around the mounting points.

I may end up keeping them to revert to the bike to standard in the future if no suitable offers come in.

So if you're interested, make me an offer. The worst I can say is no
