Well I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Kawasaki Z1000sx today, which sadly means my time with the Fz1 has come to an end.
I will be sad to see it go, its been an immensely fun (and expensive) 5 years but it's just time for something slightly more practicality and a lot less "look at me" haha
I plan on sticking around (if you'll have me ?) as 80% of my interactions on here have nothing to do with Fazers haha but also I'd like to hope that I've molded and messed about with enough parts of a gen2 that I'd still be able to offer some helpful advice to others ?
I think Ive got about 4 days until the Kwak comes so in the meantime I'm going to rummage through the garage and see which originals parts I have left to swap out so I may have some stuff in the for sale section soon
The time has come to part with my Fazer.I've had it over 10 years and it's been my favourite bike by far, I hope that I won't regret letting it go. When Mike Falcon Ivanised it, his comment was "if it's not the best Fazer that I've seen it's certainly in the top three"...
Details:
It's done 27500 miles,
was MOTd last week,
wears an Akrapovic can (standard also available),
S1000RR rear shock (standard also available),
has a META alarm/immobiliser with a key fob conversion,
full history and everything else you would expect of a pampered dry weather toy.
It's mechanically perfect, rides like a brand new bike and gathers positive comments everywhere it goes.
Located in Fareham, just outside Portsmouth.
Price £3k

Long shot I know, but has anyone got one minty R and G crash bung for an FZS 1000? Google "R and G Racing Crash Protectors for a Yamaha Fazer 1000" and you will see the type I am looking for.
Having spent a kings ransom on RS paint in the past :eek , has anyone found where, or how you get a promotional discount code? I have never found one or been sent one when I have bought paint from them in the past! Yes their product is excellent but with the cost of tax and their postage it just becomes almost a joke! :'(

All related items to go with bike including standard front end ( minus callipers they are on my rd). Couple of back wheels one is mint that I planned to put on with the next tyre change, 3 screens I think, I’ve got some fairing lowers too somewhere, basically anything Fazer that I have. Small bit of paint flaking from the clutch cover bit on the cam cover, few chips in the tank, overall nice condition though. Getting new MOT next week.
For the eagle eyed amongst you bike has a black swing arm. I was going to replace the swing arm bearings but bought a NOS 2005 swing arm for not much more than a bearing kit ! So still have the original, got the original seat too which is mint
Hello, I would like to ask for some advise regarding my good old Fazer (FZS600), which for many months now (3-4) has a problem with electrical circuit, particularly with headlamps.
Bike has installed an Oxford heat grips and DataToolDemon Evo immobiliser - which I guess may contribute to the problem
Recently it started to happen more frequently, but strangely, when I start to ride the bike for 10-20 minutes and rev the engine a lot - the headlights start working again, but later occasionally they go off (for like 30-60 seconds, when I'm riding the bike)
Can anyone advise if there is anything I can do myself, before I take it to a workshop?
I obliviously tried changing fuses already and it's still the same
Got a comfort seat for sale, mint condition, used when i toured europe a couple of times a few years ago, i found it very comfy, no longer do long distance riding, getting old alas
£150
Fitted to S2 2009, but think it will fit 2004-2010.
just changing my advance to a 4 deg one and noticed that the front side of the cam chain has quite a bit of slack. the back side seems tight and the tensioner seems to turn left and right ok under the bolt. is this a normalamount of slack?ive attached a video
