Almost since as long back as I can remember my bike has been making a noise that I’ve been unable to locate.
The closest I can get to describing it is that it sounds like the rattle you get from the clutch basket when you pull the clutch in.
Its not overly loud but I do notice it up to around 30 to 40mph. It might be there at higher speed but its drowned out by other noises.


Its a constant tone and doesn’t change with road speed or if the clutch is in or out.
I’ve checked just about everything from fairing panels rattling , through from mudguard resonating to chain tension.
I did at one point think it was the front tyre as it seemed to disappear after I replaced it, but I soon heard it again.


The one thing that’s just struck me was that perhaps its no more than a loose Exup valve rattling  away.
Could it be this? I’ve serviced it regularly so I know its free. I wonder if its too free!

This is a stunning looking bike. This bike has a belly pan, heated grips, touring screen (OEM screen is available), and an Yamahas Akrapovic factory titanium end exhaust with removable baffle ? (OEM exhaust is also available). Datatool S4 alarm Cat 1 factory fitted. Oxford heated grips, well maintained, used but not abused. 60,000 miles, recent new fork seals fitted 2019, MOT till March 2022.
Fantastic looking bike overall for very little.

£3200 any reasonable offer considered. Delivery can be arranged at extra cost.

Apologies if I am position this in the wrong place.

HibPeeps.

Hi all!


I am selling my used MRA Variotour Screen for a '99 Fazer 600.
It has a few surface scratches but not very noticeable when its installed. The adjuster works fine as well.
Selling as this has been laying around for a few years as I sold my 600 back in 2015.


This is also listed on eBay in the link below. If you are interested please let me know on here or on eBay. Thanks for looking!

Afternoon Gents,


I have a question regarding my 2003 Gen1 Fazer (1000), Not every time but maybe once every 5-7 days on start up from cold, with a little choke I get a backfire from what I think is the airbox? its not from the exhaust.


Not sure why this is happening, or where to start with resolving it, as its only started doing this over the last 4-5 weeks.


Is this causing damage to the bike which means it needs a mechanic to look at ASAP, or do I have time to look at it myself? as this is about the 5th time its happened.


The Bike is just over 41,000 on the clocks and I had a massive service done about 2,000 miles ago.


Any guidance would be appreciated.


Cheers,
Mark.

Does anybody have or know where I can get a tps for my gen1 thou? Cheapest I've seen online is around £170. (ouch)
Cheers

Hi all,


I dropped my FZ1S in my garage today (it was a really stupid thing that I'd rather not think about but I learned a lesson from it) but the upshot is it cost me my windscreen. Now, I know I can get one from some of the Yamaha parts sites but I think £175 is a bit steep for a piece of plastic (still, if that what it comes to I guess I'll have to bite the bullet). However I was wondering if anyone knows where I might source one a wee bit cheaper. It doesn't have to be new but I'd like it to be in reasonable nick and what I'd really like is that it has the Fazer logo across the bottom front, the way the original does (see attached photo). Any help will be massively appreciated.


Regards, Gerry

Hello,
I have got for sale this set of 320mm front brake discs to fit FZS1000 01-05 and R1 98-02 (probably early R6 as well) front wheel.
The set includes caliper adapters which enable calipers to fit with 320mm discs.The adapters are brand new bought this year and are made by Italian company named ALTH.The Brembo front brake discs are in good condition, rivets however are bit loosen and I would recommend to change them.Thickness of the discs are about 4,6mm both.

I wanted to use them on my bike however decided to keep my standard discs which I bought last year, so they are brand new.
I am located in Slovakia in EU. The price is 200€ plus shipping.

So I did a total of 300 miles over 2 days and it reminded me the seat on the FZ1 needs to be improved. So does anyone have a modded/custom/comfort seat for sale..?
