Hi,  (skip to the bottom for the question if you can't be a***d to read the whole story)
I wonder if anyone can advise on a problem I have with my brakes. I recently bought the bike privately, 2013 Fazer 8 ABS, and it had no front brake, the parts were all there just the lever went straight to the bar!It needed new pads and the fluid looked like it needed changing so these were done and then I attempted to bleed.
I bled using the pump the brake and then release the bleed valve  on the caliper method until I had a reasonable brake. All seemed well, I went back to the bike ten minutes later and the lever was straight back to the bar  :'( I kept trying, and getting the same result so I thought master cylinder kit was required. Kit purchased and fitted, same result!!! :o I then bypassed/cut out the ABS unit and managed to get a decent brake that held so I assume the issue is with the ABS unit or an air lock in the ABS unit, so I put the system back together and tried bleeding sections of the system bit by bit, finishing off with a good bleed at the callipers and all seemed well, the pressure held and I thought I'd cracked it. So I get ready for a test ride, start the bike and when I go to move it, NO BRAKE!!!!!When I turned the bike off I pumped the brake a couple of time and have a brake again, and it's held for a couple of hours, but I haven't started the bike again. There is no apparent leaks or loss of fluid.
QUESTION: Is there a special way to bleed these brakes? Am I doing somthing obvious wrong? Any suggestions greatly received.Thank you.

Hey everybody!


Got myself recently a FZ1 `06 in a pretty good shape and unfortunately enough after riding it for some time I figure that there's something wrong with the throttle response. Seems like the jerky throttle response comes from bad ECU maps that were put there in first gens of FZ1 and after Googling, I've found out that there's a possibility to resolve that issue by sending your ECU to Ivan for re-flash, but unfortunately I'm not able to do that as I live across the world from him.


That's why I'm looking for the Fuel Cut Eliminator (FCE) that also comes from Ivan, just in case anybody here has one and want to sell it to me. 

Hi All,

There's a similar post on this regarding routing new fuel hoses by Friar (https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=2712...rdseen#new) but I have a slightly different question to ask.
[size=1em]I want to replace the 3 fuel lines from tank to carbs.
What have people done in the past?
[/size]

• Is there somewhere I can get OEM fuel hoses for cheap?
  
• Has anyone got straight hoses and then shaped them?
  
• Should I just apply the solution in Friar's post and get straight hose that is long enough to compensate for the tight space getting from points A to B?
  

hello, I’m looking for a complete tail unit from something like the r6 to modify my fzs600 with- condition can be rough as it will be painted etc just has to have tail fairing, seat and under tray with possibly the subframe too.
Thanks!

Went to the SB on Saturday. Took a ride out with a pal on my new bike.

The last time I went there must have been about 10 years ago (maybe more) with a bunch of foccers (MarchRide, MissHornet, Bert there Cert, Foggy, any of you still around?). Got me wondering if it's still a regular haunt for any of you?

Silver ball cafe it based on the A10 just south of Royston, and is in the middle of a network of some cracking roads. My personal favourite (and the one I revisited Saturday) being the A507.

I'm thinking of heading to a few more biker haunts as the last remaining weekends of decent weather slip away.

Super sausage near Towcester (was mobbed today with some event on)

Jack's Hills on the A5 / A43 junction.

Ace cafe maybe as well.

Anyone in the area heading anywhere like these (or others) and fancy a blast?

Hello everyone,





I have very recently bought a 2005 Fazer 1000 and I am loving her so far. There are a few things that need to be sorted out like the EXUP valved reinstalled as the previous owner removed the whole system.


I have noticed that she seems to show the idle speed at just over 1500 RPM yet to me and the garage who was looking over her it sounds like it is closer to 1000 RPM,


At 60MPH she is at about 4600RPM,


And finally when the EXUP faulty code comes up it shows 7500 on the Tacho rather than 7000 which I assume it should.


I recorded some vidoes to show whats happening
https://youtu.be/hHlyj2KlKao
https://youtu.be/IRFWKlyRFuU
from what I can tell the Tacho is showing 500RPM more in every situation more or less
Thanks,
Brian.

Has anyone experienced this problem before and know a solution?


Many thanks,
Brian

Does anyone know for a fact if the internals of the boxeye/foxeye carbs are different?cheers
