Good evening foccers!
About to give the Fazer a bit of a makeover, since it's still not running 100% (has a cutoff at around 7-8k rpm, then pulls as normal). Have already cut some off the leads and changed to the NGK caps which fixed most of it, will send it for a service and figured I might as well get a KN filter or similar. As the tank is coming off, figured I'd have the carbs refurbished as well as replace the Regulator. I'm presuming switching to different jets is recommended with more air flow, and it already has a Mivv pipe on it. Got tips on what jets to get?
Second part, I've seen these LED H4 bulbs that have the inverter built into it, anyone tried these on their bikes?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B79C19R/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1Chain and sprockets are getting swapped, I've seen the cheaper kits with DID chains from about €90 (530 dimension), or the more expensive Renthal for almost twice. I ride on Malta, where the roads range from abysmal to just horrible so the suspension takes a beating, chain as well. Anyone tried the various kits available online and have recommendations?
Brakes will need some TLC too, from the clues (stripped head on the reservoir and really funky braking at times) brake fluid and bleeding is long overdue. I don't ride in the rain and i saw some thread here (which I can't find now) about how there's a kind of pad that works well for those conditions? After a search, seems I might have to swap the front bearing too.
... buy a cheap bike just for daily use, wont have to spend much money on it and upgrade later. Anyone else had that same thought, but then just loved the Fazer?
