Any Other Relevant Info : Really nice bike, you won't find a cleaner example of an '02 Fazer 1000 for sale. Runs and rides really well. Redundancy is only reason for sale. It has an Akrapovic Exhaust on it at the moment-I am planning on putting it back to standard and selling the Akra exhaust seperately but am open to negotiations. Here's a photo. I can e-mail or upload more, just let me know.

Thanks Phil,

You were right (hangs head in shame).

I thought I had checked all the obvious things :-(

Went to Celtic motorcycles in Aberdare yesterday and they let me watch and plied me with tea while they took my bike apart, replaced oil, oil filter and plugs and checked the battery and air filter. Really good service from a really nice, helpful bunch of guys-thanks to "The Male Whale" and the other guys.

I haven't tried to start it from cold yet but it ran like a dream on the way home. Highly recommended shop if you live nearby (not bad riding around there either so no hardship to get to).

Thanks Whale,

I'll message you now.

This may well be a silly question but what's AIS?

I had thought of a new battery but the Optimate says it's in good condition when it runs the test programme. Might still be worth a try though.

Hi,
 
I've been having a few issues with the bike starting recently and was hoping that somebody on here can suggest any possible solutions.
 
Haven't been riding it a lot recently because of the lovely Welsh weather and the salt on the roads and it wouldn't start a couple of weeks ago when I tried it. Put the battery on charge and a couple of days later when I tried it it started straight away with no problems.
 
Went out on it again on Monday and it struggled to start a bit in the morning but wasn't too bad. Left it all sitting outside work for about 4hours and then it really struggled to start again when I came to go home. Also, all the way home it seemed like it wasn't running quite right-almost felt like it was going to stall when I stopped at lights or junctions (this might have seemed worse than normal because I had it in my head that it had only just started).
 
Any suggestions how to sort it out or is this just normal? A colleague with more experience of bikes suggested it might need new plugs and a mechanic at a local dealer agreed that it might. I've just read the thread about the Full Monty kit and it seems like that might solve some of the problems.
 
It's an '02 1000 with 18k on the clock. The last service stamp is from 14k but it had an oil and filter change at 15k.
 
Thanks in advance,
Scott
 
 

Thanks for the help everyone.

In case anybody is interested, after a lot of looking around, I went for a Double Bubble screen from Zero Gravity. I've fitted it, it looks good and it definitely improves the wind buffeting-there is still some buffeting but it's acceptable now.

Thanks Guys,
 
I am 6'3" (meant to put that in the original post, sorry) so I guess it's always going to be a bit windy unless I fit a really big screen which I don't really want to do. Maybe the shape of the double bubble screen makes more difference than the actual height?
 
Everything on the bike is standard by the way.
