Hey all!
Been lurking around using this place for all the great info for my fazer, so thanks a bunch for all that, saved my bacon more than once. But on to my question, I have to pull my battery often because I don't have a garage to have a tender hooked up when my battery is getting low, and was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas, I was thinking using SAE connectors to make an easy disconnect, but didn't know how that would do in the long run, so if any of you fantastic bastards have any better ideas, I would love to hear them! Thanks for reading!

Hi all,

I've been getting stuck into a valve clearance check and reshimming. It's nearly all done but I'm having a couple of issues with reassembly and timing.

First, the front cam chain guide. Can this be inserted/removed with the camshafts already bolted down? In the Haynes manual the guide goes in after the camshafts are secured, and before the cam chain tensioner is put in. But, I cannot for the life of me work out a way to fit it in without removing the exhaust camshaft to make some space.

Second, valve timing. My timing looks slightly out at the moment, especially looking at the intake timing. I've attached some photos of the datum - maybe the timing is fine, so I just want to hear some thoughts on it.

Also, will putting the front guide in alter the location of the timing datum? Just trying to work out if I should factor this in when correcting timing.


Cheers

Evotech tail tidy for gen 2 fz1. Mine is a Fazer s version but I assume it probably fits the naked (please check) I took it off ages ago as it doesn't fit with a givi rack without fiddling about so just went back to stock. You can use your OEM indicators or get adaptor plates to fit aftermarket for a few quid. The numberplate light plugs straight in to existing loom. £30 plus postage or free collection from Cheltenham or Banbury during work hours.

In my mid seventies now, sadly the XJR has to go, its getting a bit heavy for moving around, but I'm still keeping with a Yamaha.
a 2003 but with only 15000 kms, needs a good tidy, but I'm good at that.
No doubt be on here for a few tips.

I have not been on here for ages but I was looking on line and I saw devilsyam bike for sale a name from years back and the days of mike and Ivans kit, is devilsyam still on here what bike does he have now, I still regret selling my mint full Ivan 1000 years ago and was looking for a good one for sale if anyone has one or knows of a good one, riding a street rs 765 nowdays but want a good 1000 fazer as a second tour bike.

Hi, I have a kinked fuel line and I want to replace the hose while using the existing connectors (I don't want to get another OEM fuel line as the quality is rubbish and it kinks easily).
Can anyone recommend a good quality 6 x 12 mm fuel hose that I can get here in the UK?

Just a heads up as I was not aware of this particular policy, which isn’t accessible online. (Phone no. 03339993022).The normal CN multi bike policy includes breakdown and legal protection etc. With the Select one, these are only added at your discretion. As my travel and breakdown are covered by my bank, this Select policy is ideal and has just saved me almost £200 on my CN renewal :thumbup …….. however in the bigger scheme of things, that’s 200 quid towards the next gas bill. :'(
