Hi All,
A bit of an update:
Scraping Noise:I've replaced the front wheel bearings, but the horrible noise (continuous scraping) is still there, even at 5mph.
The calipers have already been cleaned up, so I don't think it's sticking calipers. It's doing me head in
Top SpeedThe bike thanked me for the oil & filter changed this morning, saying it felt like it's had a good clear-out. We all know how that feels
Unfortunately, it wasn't grateful enough to go over 84mph!!
I've heard rumours that Fazers don't like after-market Speedo's (speedometer, not the swimming trunks, although I understand they don't like those either).
I've therefore put the original clocks back on, but still no joy get past 84mph this morning
If a previous owner has put a speed restrictor on, where might they have put it?
Also, an issue I've not posted about before, but I understand it's quite common, Going from 2nd to 3rd gear, whilst the gear selector moves up, it doesn't seem to engage 3rd. This means the process is... 1st to 2nd....2nd, clutch in, left foot up, left foot up again, and I'm in 3rd (definately 3rd).
Aparently Fazers have something inside the wears and can be replaced?
I think I've bought a bit of a lemon here. Yes I know it was a Cat-D, but these problems seem endless
Any advice much appreciated.
Dalton
