Just a quick note to say good bye as the Fazer has moved on to a new owner and I will be riding a GS tractor from now on.

1. Quill T3 road legal exhaust excellent condition, will bolt straight on and perfectly complements an Ivan's Full Monty £125

2. A recovered seat with gel insert and pillion re-work in good condition £75

« on: 30 December 2014, 01:07:03 pm »
Thanks Unfazed

They might do the trick

I have also found MFW Vario pegs which give a 50mm offset.

I suspect tho a different bike might be in order as even 50mm won't give much relief to Paula's knee

 :eek

Hi all

Does anyone know of pillion peg extention "effort" or if any one offers a lowering option.

My lovely lady has an iffy knee and is struggling to last a full day on the bike which limits our future touring plans.

I do'nt want to have to chop the offending leg off, she looks lovely with both.

Any one have any ideas on lowering the pillion peg position?

Thanks

Timbo

Ps Shiney side up is best!! :D

Still running 023's,  6k a set is about my mark mixed riding, some luggage + pillion. Less post Ivanising as I can't stop twisting the throttle!!

Are the T30's better with regard to grip and performance? :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Changing gearing by sprocket sizes
« on: 08 September 2014, 01:45:58 pm »
Just to put my two bobs worth in. I have a 15T front and standard rear, the chain is still okay at 16k miles. The bike is fully Ivanised, I ride it hard and I get 44mpg on a hard early morning 70mile run to work  :lol . I changed the front sprocket early on in my ownership of the bike and would'nt now fit anything else. I love the improved acceleration and don't miss the top end speed at all which is the only sacrifice.

Shiney side up is best

Fit a Quill T3 end can and a K&N filter. Then get a Fully done.

It will be worth every penny

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Head Bearing Adjustment
« on: 15 April 2013, 02:53:03 pm »
Hi All

Has anyone here had experience of head bearing adjustment on a Gen1 Fazer. It's low mileage 12000

I have stripped and cleaned mine (and have done the swinging arm bearings as well) and purchased the Yamaha adjustment tool.

My question is that having followed the setting procedure I feel that the steering is much looser than it was before. I have just had the bike MOT'd and ask specifically for their opinion on whether they were loose. The bike shop said the bearings were fine.

I am satisfied that they are not so loose that there is any play in the bearing but they do not feel the same as they were before. I have ridden it since and I don't feel that I could apply the same amount of counter steering input as I did before without getting a surprise reaction from the bike.

Is it the case that the head bearings were over tight from the factory? Has anyone else used the Yamaha C spanner for adjustment? The Haynes manual states that the torque wrench is used at 90° to the tool, the Yam manual states the same thing but illustrates the torque wrench in a normal position i.e 90° to the axis of the bearing. Do I just tweak them up a bit until they "feel right"?

Comments please

Thanks

Tim

Hagon shock and fork springs and their recommended oil weight 7.5 instead of 5W.
 
Suits me! and I like to ride it hard. As a point of interest I feel as if the bike is nicely balalnced as I actually wear out the front and back tyres at the same time!
 
Cheers

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: K TECH shock - SHOCK !
« on: 28 April 2012, 08:49:01 am »
If the worst come to the worst and you feel the need to obtain a replacement shock from elsewhere do consider a Hagon shock. I fitted a rear with remote preload adjuster and replaced my fork springs with Hagon's and am more than satisfied. It transformed the bikes handling and I throw it around quite a bit (no chick strip on my rear at all) in all weathers, it really is good! :D 
 
Shiney side up is best, see ya!!

« on: 14 April 2012, 09:09:09 pm »
If you have a crackling sound eminating from around anything relating to the electrics it tends to suggest something is not healthy!! Check and double check the connections around the ignition switch, but bear in mind that if something has failed internally it may well make poor contact which will produce the crackling noise and could , if in a related circuit, be the cause of all your woes.
 
When electric curent passes thru a circuit the wiggly worms do it very quietly so there should be any noise at all! They don't smell and you can't see them.....although they do bite occasionally and the very fierce ones do hum to themselves!! :D

Further to the excellent result I have had following my Ivanisation (Just call me Vladimir) is the concensus of opinion that I should now tell my insurers and what to I tell them?

Fitting of a tuning kit that is produced by ivans performance parts in the states. A forum member, Mike Greatorex fits them for a small 'ish fee (£250).
 
There should be some info on the forum somewhere. Basically new needles and jets in the carbs, K&N air filter, an airbox mod and a carb stub mod. I already had the Quill T3 end-can. Worth every penny
 
Cheers

« on: 08 April 2012, 09:07:35 am »
 :lol
 
My Gen 1 was Ivanised yesterday! So a big thank you to Ivan for manufacturing the kit and to Mike for fitting it......
 
....and I can't stop grinning :D :rollin
 
As soon as I opened the throttle it was immediately obvious that the difference with the Full Monty is huge. The throttle responds as soon as you open it and the motor now just pulls all the way. Stonking!! I will have to watch out for the rozzers now tho as I feel the  :evil  on my shoulder.
 
So if you are in any doubt DO IT!!
 
Out of interest I have a Quill T3 end can fitted and a K&N air filter.
 
Perhaps we should nickname Mike "Tunes" after the well known lozenge that allows your engine to breathe more easily!!! :lol

Hi All
 
Has anyone changed their handle bars from the standard ones? I would like to get my weight forward over the front a little more.
 
Doh! I am on a Gen1!
 
Any suggestions? Or known issues in doing the change.
 
Thanks
 
Timbo :)
