Looks good but that orange hugger would need to be resprayed - sorry!

Has the bike been ivanised?

Thanks,

Kenny
It's mine now and the hugger has already been painted black & the rim tape removed.
 Hasn't been "Ivanised " as far as I know.

Hi Greg,

atp600 a member on here, has a 54 plate Fazer 1000 for sale - and the bike's in Durham.

Apparently he's got "new member in the family" and needs 4 wheels and a car seat.

You can find his ad in the For Sale and Wanted section.


Best of luck.
Bought it, get it tonight.

Welcome to the forum Greg

Quite a few of us on here around that mature age bracket.  :lol
Rather have a rattling EXUP valve than a seized. one  :)

Rattling usually means a lack of servicing and most likely the bushes are worn. Easy fix once bolts are not seized, about £50 for bushes.

As Millietant says it might be worth checking out atp600 one in the for sale section http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,14261.0.html

Best of luck

 says might be worth looking at

Going to see Andy's bike on Friday night, thanks for the reply.

Thanks for that, waiting for him to ring me back....disappointed at the response to my post, surely someone on here knows the answers to my questions ?

Hello, my name is Greg, 60yrs  old, I live in Durham and am currently wanting to buy a Fazer 1000.
I have an Aprilia RSVR that I use for track days and short rides but want a Fazer for longer stuff and touring. I've just sold a Blackbird as I was no longer comfortable on it.
I've been to see a really nice '03 Fazer (19,000 miles) but was put off buying as the exup valve was rattling loudly, question.....do they all do this ? is it repairable ? is it expensive to repair ? what other options are there i.e. remove it, custom system, jam it open etc?
I would appreciate your input,
thanks,
Greg
