I'm looking for a cheap (sub £1000) 2nd bike for my bro. He needs something to commute on and be able to abandon at people's houses without worrying about it. Older triumph triple, fazer 600 etc... His fazer 1000 is mint so not using it through winter or commuting etc.. Scotland or north England preferred...

Is it possible the rubber chain guide has worn through the rubber to the plastic.

Ordered carbon twill weave satin swingarm covers from Conquest carbon for my v4 tuono. Will report on quality and fit when they arrive 
Got a good discount from them also. Nice company to deal with.

Have you got a hugger? I had a fazer 1000 with new tyres and i could hear a noise, but looked at tyres and couldn't see anything, but when i removed the hugger there were wear marks, so i lined the hugger wear marks with the tyre and there was a barely visible mark on the tyre. Once i changed the tyre to a flatter profile the noise went away. Worth a look

It might be an idea to mention colours of bike and frame regarding age, as the gen 1 is getting on a bit and bodywork could get changed after a crash etc.. For example yamaha logo on tank up to 2003 then tuning forks 2003 on, colour of frame paint silver until 2003, then dark grey 2003 on, Fz1 import paint jobs are also different. Great write up been a long time coming for the newbies

I have to agree it is a bit expensive considering you can get an after market gel seat second hand in very good condition for about £150, But maybe fleabay might be the best route to sell..

Triumph definitely. The 1050 engine is a peach and is far more modern
