Hi Old Son, I have the same issue - I think!. The bike has been laid up for 5years, chain is rusted, and a few seals have busted. Its in for new chain and sprockets this thursday.

I've just put a Yuasa YT14b-bs on my Fazer. The bike hadn't been started for the best part of a year. But it did the job.
It has a cold start rating of 220cca and cost £70 including delivery from EBay.

A piston popped out on me Clanadam, lots of cursing followed by a smug sensation as I realised how handy the vacuum pump is.

Hi solorider, I tried bleeding them today with a vacuum kit. They're very spongy still. Is there anything I need to look out for?

Thanks b1k3rdude.  That could be the next option if the locksmith can't work his magic.

Hi guys, goodness what a thread this has started. I can see the point about making it easier for thieves etc. And there's no offence taken. Just for info I did contact Charles Hurst Yamaha here in Belfast.  They stated that it would be £607 to replace ignition - I think this included new fuel cap lock & underseat lock. At the end of the phone call the guy suggested I take the ignition barrel to a lock Smith(I'm assuming this is because the key is not chipped?). I phoned them and they stated that it would be £60 for the 1st key, 30 for the second.  I Know which option I'd prefer. Any how I'll keep you posted. Brendan

Hi folks,  I just took ownership of my Fazer today.  I always wanted one.  Anyway,  the previous owner lost the keys.  But a local lock Smith said he could make a new key. I just need to take the barrel off.  I've located two Allen bolts on the underside of it.  If I take these out would that be all I need to do?
Thanks in advance,  Brendan
