Hi all

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.

I shall miss the Ivanised 1000, it was bloody marvellous for seven years.

3. A silver/grey Bagster tank cover - in good condition £45

4. A Bagster tank bag with silver/grey trim - used but reasonable condition £30

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

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
