Hi to all,


Just a quick note to say Hi as I am a brand new member. Just waiting on a 2005 Fazer 1000 to be shipped up to the quite cold Highlands of Scotland. Looking forward to owning my first 1000cc bike.


Had a Fazer 600 Mk1 for last summer.


Previous Bikes


NS125RK, NSR250 MC18, VFR400 NC21, CBR600FY, Bandit 600 MK1, ZX6rJ1, ZZR600E6, Fazer 600 and Now the Fazer 1000


Can't wait to get back on two wheels.

A friend is looking at buying an Fz6 is there anything that we should look out for

A late notice heads up. The Welsh COVID regs have recently changed which will allow this years Dragon Rally (60th anniversary) to go ahead. All details are on Conwy MCC website.

Start and set off on the bike no problem. After about a mile red light comes on. Parked up for 10 minutes back to normal. This is happened several times this week, and wondering if this is a rectifier problem

Ok, I'm putting it up!!! I'm selling my black 2002 FZS 1000. 41966 miles.


It's in good condition for the year. There's very obviously marks and scars as it's a 20 yr old bike.


Now....it's currently a non runner. It's sorn'd and hasn't got an MOT. I know the horn wasn't working, but they're only £10 or so?? So, if anyone buys it, they'll need to take it on a trailer or in a van.


It's been left in the garage and now doesn't start. I've just put it back on an optimate, but it may need a new battery.


The carbs need cleaning out as well. When I last started it just before Christmas, it started and idled but whenever I applied the throttle, it cut out.


I'll throw in the SP exhaust, as well as the original. It has a Givi luggage rack fitted as well, but I also have the pillion handles. It has a black bagster tank cover as well.


I've done very few miles on it over the 5 yrs I've owned it. I intended to get it back on the road this year and use it. But I've got a new bike itch and once I've got the itch, it'll probably end up being scratched.


If anyone is handy with spanners, then it's an easy fix to get it sorted.


Price, well, I think I'd like to pocket £1200. I don't think that's unreasonable for a thou? (unless everyone tells me otherwise?) Looking on fleabay, the cheapest bike on there is £2000'ish. It'll cost very little, maybe just someone's time to get this bike back on the road. If you want to chance an offer, then it'll need to be close.

A mate of mine has a Black Widow Exhausts silencer which, according to their web site, is road legal as long as the baffle is fitted. Looking at my mates there is no BS AU 153... stamped on it. I thought all legal silencers had to have this ???  Don't want to buy one only to find it won't pass an MOT.Any thoughts?Rob

Morning All,


I have discovered a small split/cut on the underside of the exhaust, on the downpipe side rather than the end can section.. if you know what I mean.. so closer to the front of the bike.


I don't want it to turn into a drama so i don't want to try and remove the downpipes at this moment in time...  :eek


I'm thinking either JB weld.. or... because I've just got a new cheap welder, to try and weld it??


Does anyone know if it's OK to weld an exhaust without taking it off the bike? not sure where/how to earth it properly.. or if it will destroy the bike..


I guess disconnecting the battery and a minimum...??

17k miles, recent service less than 500 miles ago, can put a new mot on with sale (expires in April but done less than 100 miles since the last one) comes with heated grips and centrestand, only one previous owner, owned by my girlfriend for the last 9 years, totally original and unmolested,  everything works as it should. Spare key and magic red key. Just not getting used so it's going towards a caravan upgrade...

£2995 but open to sensible offers. Bike is based in Cheltenham (UK despite my regrettable username)

Is this the correct one to upgrade my thou?
It looks similar to the one's with electronics on it but the seller says it does not have wiring on it. I'm not sure, maybe the wires are cut off, or maybe it's the right one.
