hi all


if i want to long term store the gen 1 fazer 1000, does turning the fuel tap under the tank off and running the bike until it stops drain all the fuel, or is there still some left in the float bowls.....


cheers

I've got one of these.

this is so weird ....... i did exactly the same thing.... i bought my fazer 1000 new in 2004..... i have heavily modded it over the years to get it exactly how i liked it, but as i have got older (57 now) am finding it a bit heavy and big ( im only 5"6 )


anyhow test rode a few other bikes over the past few years, but nothing really grabbed me (except mt07 which i nearly got, but didnt )


then six weeks ago trawling through ebay a saw a white 2014 street triple and i just bought it on impulse.


hadnt ridden one but thought they must be good cos everyone raves about them.... and yes it is everything that is said about it.....
its not a r so it is a bit lower and has plusher suspension than the r..... fitted a few mods and quickshifter.... its really good fun and since i got it 5 weeks ago ive not ridden the fazer....


yesterday got the fazer out again for a quick spin and theres no way i will ever sell it..... want to keep both, but if i had to get rid of one, reluctlantly it would have to be the triumph....

ive got a new mode button

I've always used wilko 10w40 semi synthetic in my fazer 1000. Change it every 3k with  filter change every 6k.  £15 for 5 litres

be1509sch don't work in Ashford either.  If it worked it should work in Bromley which is a met police area

Me, I've got 3 bikes and if I was gonna get a 09 the fazer would have to go.  my other 2 bikes are Rd400, and 350lc. They are keeper's so the older I get the more I think the fazer will be too.

kev are you selling your skunk and getting that mt09 you had your eyes on on the other forum. I've still got my skunk I bought from bikeworld back in 2004 about the same time as you.  I was looking to change and rode a mt09.  I can't really justify getting one. the big fazer is getting a bit heavy for me but is still a great bike

Got my lubricants. Thank you dave

nice

hi.... can you help with hard drive problems...... my laptop has become embarrassingly slow.... i need some recommended free software to clean up hard drive and remove any excess crap that's slowing it down.... cheers

Me and tmation got our bikes from the same dealers new at same time. We both still own them.  Can't really find anything to replace it with
