If you include the details of the model of Fazer they're for and your location you may get more interest.


Yes, a good point. My apologies, in my mind there is only one - the Fazer 1000!  :)


So they are off a FZS1000 2004 plate

For Sale & Wanted / Fazer FZS1000 Seat
« on: 18 March 2023, 01:21:00 pm »
Hi all


An Seat for sale - this has been modified by someone prior to me buying it. It is probably 1/2" lower than standard, some of the foam has been removed which has got rid of the angled edges of the original seat. Whoever did it made a good job of it.


Purchased for my wife to ride the Fazer, she never did, but I used the seat all the time as I found it more comfortable and preferred it to the standard.


£80 including postage


Best wishes

Use a relay!


You could also add a separate switch for them as well, so you have the option of turning them off in broad daylight when they are not required.  :D


I personally hate the things, far too bright, often badly adjusted and therefore dangerous to oncoming traffic. After 40yrs on a bike I still don't feel the need.


Cyclists even worse ... I had an oncoming pushbike the other night, the light was actually brighter than the adjacent traffic. Worse still, he was on the promenade which has street lighting anyway!

Conti Road Attack 3


Fabulous and the best tyre I have used in 20yrs., wet or dry.


I recently ran the Fazer around Thruxton on them and they were awesome. I have them on the Tiger Sport and also my wife's Street Triple.

I will be putting my 2005 metallic red FZS1000 up for sale. I will post photos at some point, its needs a wash first. Posting to see if there is any interest from forum members before I advertise it elsewhere.AIS removed
  • Ivanised
  • R6 shock
  • Delkelvic end can
  • Oxford heated grips
  • Givi top box rack
  • New Pyramid hugger fitted too.
Just had new Conti Road Attack 3 fitted this weekend, brake calipers cleaned and pots greased as I do at every tyre change. Mot until April next year but have no issue at all in putting a new one on for a buyer. Relatively new chain and sprockets at 24k. Exup valve is good and regularly greased. Valve clearances were done at 24k.Used, loved and fettled. 37k miles. Very sad to sell  :'( but I am falling over 3 bikes in the garage, a kayak and fishing gear, so something has to go!

The bike is in Sussex, near Brighton

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Hugger
« on: 09 September 2021, 10:52:19 am »
Hi all,


I need a new hugger, th eexisting one on my 05 has cracked.


I have no idea who the manufacturer of it was. It is mounted with a moulded broad lip that sits on the cross-member of the swinging arm, it has an integral chainguard, which incorporates a mounted point.


Does any one have similiar?


Or a recommended manufacturer?

My two bob's worth and friendly advice only, tell me to piss off if you want.

Keep it ..... join a local RoSPA Advanced group and change your style of riding!


and be VERY well behaved for as long as the points are active.


You'd miss it if it wasn't there and you are just as likely to get nicked in your car in a 30mph limit as you are on a bike. Just re-think how you ride/drive.


Best wishes

MOT special notice 01-21: headlamp conversions - GOV.UK)


I will have to say I disagree ... there are far too many very intense and blinding LED lights on the road now that are actually a hazard to other road users. Its a bad move because it has not been investigated enough, nearly all the LEDs are too biased to the blue end of the spectrum and that is the issue.

« on: 13 May 2021, 08:36:53 am »
Update,


I fitted the adjustable relay and it actually works better than the one supplied with the lamps, which caused the dash repeaters to stay on and dim when the indicators flashed on/off.


The adjustable relay allowed me to trim the flash rate down nearer to the original rate and the dash repeaters now work as original.  :D

Thanks Guys, unfortunately I can't see any model information so I can't use the WP website.
The shock has 3 adjusters, 2 top and 1 bottom which I'm assuming will be low and high rate compression (top) and rebound at the bottom. I'd like to know the recommended base settings for the shock so I can work from there. I think my next option is to call a WP specialist. I fitted a second hand Ohlins to an xr400 and had fantastic support from one of their dealers


Your start point will be in the middle of the range. Thereafter test ride and adjust one at a time. Lots of info on the web, its quite easy to setup yourself

Spoke to Paul, very helpful and ordered over the phone.

Work okay, fitted this evening. Flash rate slightly faster than I am used to but still legal. Roughly 85 -90 flash per minute, I think as standard it was 60fpm.


Being a pendant, I have brought an adjustable flasher relay, from ebay, to see if I can reduce the rate!

Nice and bright now though, but not retina burning like some w*****s out there. Brightest is not always best!

Hi


Can anyone recommend LED replacement lamp bulbs that are a straight swap for the filament type please?


I did ask before I know, old and senile. Any other suggestions gratefully received! ... other than Foxtrot Oscar

They are becoming less common with low miles.


Ensure you get a warranty. 18K is nothing on one of these if it has a service history and it has had regular oil changes. The only other thing to ensure is that the EXUP valve is working and not seized up. You could negotiate them to service it for you and provide photo proof?


Good luck in finding one, I am still sorely tempted to buy another and store it. I LOVE my Fazer, they are a fantastic bike.


My only gripe is the side case options available and the bike did not suit my wife's knees for too long hence I sold my original Fazer. If you are riding solo just stick a bag across the pillion seat and go. I fitted a SW Mototech rack and use a Givi 45 ltr topbox.

FZS1000 here too,


I have had two, regretted selling the first. Luckily later found a nearly as good 2nd.


Take your time , find a minter one and then Ivanise and upgrade the suspenders - I'd recommend either Maxton or Nitron but I found Maxton very approachable and you get a personal service. It will be money well spent.


I have a Tiger Sport as well but I err towards riding the Fazer every time. Simple, straightforward and none of the new-fangled electronic gizzmos that you do not need.


Enjoy! :D
