Hi Peeps.
I'm on the hunt for a mint pair of 43mm Fazer 1000 stanchions.
I'm near Barnsley S/Yorkshire, so if any of u fine Foccers have a pair not in use, I'd be interested if not too far away from me & the price is right.
I would prefer to view & collect.
Obviously they must be straight & free from pitting.
I will consider complete forks, but I only need stanchions for my rebuild & it's not easy to see a bent stanchion on a complete fork leg.
I would like at some point to upgrade the front end to R1 spec, funds don't allow at this time

Hi Peeps
Anyone scrapped a Gen1 clutch casing & saved a good "Not scored" clutch shaft?
Mine's a bit scored on top bearing surface due to a worn bearing.
Not in any rush as bikes stripped for a refurb.

Your Suggestions and How you can help / Aerosol Bike Paint.
« on: 21 May 2021, 08:46:37 pm »
My local paint refinishing supplies do Aerosols mixed up to any bike colour for £10.95 a can, also 2K Clear Gloss & Satin lacquer too which is fuel & UV resistant to yellowing at same price.
Just done my Gen1 frame with the correct Dark Grey Pearl basecoat & Satin clear, looks amazing, way better than Yamaha's attempt.
I assume they'll post it out if asked for a reasonable charge.
Other paint suppliers like RS paint for example have been ripping us off for yrs.
Hope this helps any other Foccers that are planning to refurb their own bikes.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Yamalube combustion chamber cleaner

Hi Peeps.
Anyone know where to buy Yamalube combustion chamber cleaner from in the UK.
Seems it like rocking horse shit.
Only seems available in the USA, but there's issues sending pressurised canisters via airmail & the dreaded shipping costs & don't lets forget the feckin rip off import duty when it lands in blighty, oh what joy it is to live in the UK.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 Gen 1 Fuel pump delivery pressure?
« on: 16 March 2021, 08:27:22 pm »
Hi Peeps.
Anyone know the delivery fuel pressure from the factory "Clickety Clackety" fuel pump in psi?
I'm considering junking the monstrosity for a more modern quiet rotary pump, unsure at this point if it's a good idea or not, based on the new rotary pump supplying constant delivery pressure albeit low psi, it may put undue pressure on the float bowl seal ...
Any thoughts / comments welcome?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Sigma Stage 3 Carb Tuning Kit
« on: 22 February 2018, 10:28:43 pm »
Hi Peeps
I know from experience what the Ivans (Full Monty Kit) does for the might 1000
Curious if anyone has any experience of the Sigma Carb kits from the USA as advertised on ebay, ad claims to sort all the fueling issues that the Ivans kit does, may be a clone of the Ivans kits? never dealt with the Sigma brand before, price works out quite a bit cheaper than the Ivans Kits that are available from (SG Motorsport) .
The only issue is the import tax may kill the deal as it's not stated in the ebay ad, not bought much from the USA before, somehow managed to swerve the import duty on both occasions.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Gen 1 1000 Headlamp faults
« on: 30 April 2017, 09:47:58 am »
Hi Peeps
I'm new to Fazers.
Having some electrical gremlins.
Just unpicked a right rats nest of Meta alarm loom bodging.
Alarm had failed before I got the bike, alarm multi-plug had the usual bypass bridging wire (poorly done).
Anyway alarm looms out, both of the alarm multi-plug connectors in the bikes loom under seat have been put back & bridged as per factory spec, bikes a runner.
For some reason I've lost live feed to dip/main beam & dash clocks illumination?.
Could just be a coincidence that some other fault is present, but lights worked prior to removing alarm loom.
Struggling to find what the unused 3pin connector is for next to alarm multi-plug connectors in bikes loom?.
Tested, I have 2 earths & a switched live
Is it for accessories
Any ideas pls?
I suspect ignition switch is faulty? Yet to confirm.
I'm just on with working thru loom.
Headlamp relays test correct as per manual.
Everything works except dip/main & dash clocks illumination.
Finding corroded pins in multi-plugs above rocker cover, removing male/female pins to clean.
Is this a known headlamp fault based on the issues I'm having?
Any helpful ideas are very much appreciated.

Big hello to all current members.
Has the bike a wk, a[size=78%]lready started stripping to tidy a few areas up.[/size]
Surprising what you inherit from previous ownership.
Just had to plastic weld the fairing infill panels up, some rough arse has had a go but made a pigs ear of it.
My body shop yrs have paid off, panels repaired & in primer.
Just gorra unpick old alarm loom, new tyres on this wk, tax end of mth then I can play with suspension setup, looks like an R6 shock is on the cards asap, rides ok, front end is terrible tho, new tyres will help, then out with the tools.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / R6 shock upgrade
« on: 22 April 2017, 04:41:37 pm »
Hi Peeps.
Not long since joined FOCU.
Some interesting reading on here.
Upgraded from a very modified & tuned Kawy ZRX 1136R.
In it's place is a Silver 53 plate bog standard Fazer 1000.
Way better bike IMHO.
My question is, which year R6 shock works best on a Fazer 1000 & what's the correct length of the dog bones required? As I've heard R6 shocks are a tad shorter, so I assume different length dog bones will be required to bring ride height back to original.
I may fabricate my own? but if anyone can recommend a supplier I'll try that option if the price is right.
Thanks in advance, any info is mucho appreciated..
