Anybody got one of these in perfect original condition? Mines cracked from blowing over in the wind earlier this year.

Thanks, Simon.

We will probably be meeting up at the Tesco Express garage on the A44 in Worcester city,about a mile in from the motorway crossing of the A44  on the A44.
Anyone want to join in ,welcome,,be going into the Welsh borders for a few hours of ice cream stops,


Confirm later tonight.

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Any clever clogs on here because currently, that doesn't include me.[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size]Venerable Fazer Thou had issues with battery,largely through my use of the wrong charger(s) and battery(s).Installed new fully charged battery and during the install I must have left the ignition on because there was a lot of chatter from (I assume) the fuel pump.Fuel pump was not priming at start up but seemed ok on the bench later. Refitted seemed ok.First test ride it wouldn't take anything over 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. It would baulk and splutter then die.Second attempt same thing except this time it blew the 10A fuse.Stripped and inspected pump, tested ok on bench, tested ok on bike, refitted same issue though it never blew another fuse.Fitted new pump which sounds much healthier but the same issue! 1/4 to half throttle and it coughs and dies. Roll off the throttle and it's fine.My first thoughts are fried ECU or perhaps a dodgy EXUP system but I wouldn't expect the EXUP to kill all power then come back and I would expect to see a fault code displayed on start up.Anyone have any other ideas because at the moment, I'm stumped. Going out to have a look at the EXUP and especially the wiring. I really don't want to strip the carbs for fault finding, they are a bastard to get out and I can't see how one carb could develop a fault affecting everything and all four carbs having a mechanical fuel issue is unlikely I would think.Screwd.[/color]

Greetings All,


Ive been using my Fazer thou Gen 1 to commute on recently after it had sat unused for a while. It has been running perfectly, 54 miles each way five days a week until……………………..
one morning on my way in, steady 70(isn) mph, it suddenly has a huge back fire or two, lurches a couple of times and then cuts out on the M4. Tried restarting it straight away and turns over but wouldn't start. Leave it for a minute or so while I have a look around, then try again and it starts up fine, revs cleanly through the range with no problems.
I get back on and head off again, only to find about 1/2 to 3/4 mile down the road, having got back up to cruising speed, the same thing happens again. This time I arrange for recovery.
The only other odd thing that I had noticed had started to happen in the last few days, was that the Ivans multi gauge fitted, had started to flicker and go dull / unreadable intermittently.
The recovery guy said that it was probably the fuel pump? Ive done some reading though and it seems that this is only to prime the float bowls pre start up and / or when the bike is running low on fuel / reserve. If that is correct, then this wouldn't be an issue would it? as the bike had plenty of fuel in it and would it not therefore be gravity / vacuum fed? It also wouldn't re start if it had packed up, because once the carbs were drained, if the pump was knackered, surely it wouldn't refill the float bowls?
Ive just been out, turned the ignition on and the fuel pump clicks as usual. The battery connections are fine. The bike starts straight away and ticks over fine. The multi gauge though isn't coming on at all now.
Any advice appreciated please. I can do the normal maintenance but electrics I haven't ever dabbled with and to be honest, I'm not keen to do so. Equally, I don't want to throw it at a dealers and have them fleece me "fault finding".
Incidentally, I haven't done any maintenance in the last few weeks. The last job that I did, some months ago, was to balance the carbs. The bike has been running fine since then and I haven't disturbed / removed the tank or anything else for that meter, since that time.
Cheers
 

Well, what we all dream of,,


A sunny weekend,,make the most of it Foccers


I think we will be out tomorrow


Its 6am now and need sunglasses :lol , the daily run of fast noisey bikes will start any minute going past my house on the A49,they leave the 40mph limit here and open up on a nice stretch,,good to listen to.

Fazers are a popular Moto Gymkhana choice, anybody fancy having a go. I'm using an FZ6 but think the earlier carb bike might have been a better choice.

Thought it about time we had a speedo thread  :rolleyes.....speedo on my project bike has gone crazy, as soon as the wheel moves the needle shoots upto 40mph.....ive checked the drive dogs and swapped the sensor and lead with a known good un...still no change....ive got a good spare speedo which I was going to try next.....unless you lot can come up wiith something else   

Myself and Midden and hopefully Dazza are heading out to the seaside after work on Thursday 3rd July.


I was thinking Folkestone, via the Wingham Bends (just outside canterbury) for some seafood, fish and chips and maybe a shandy.  (over venues are available, Rye, Hastings, etc.)


Who fancies it?

Not sure if there is a similar thread on here, so please delete if so.

I work in arboriculture, we keep the powerlines clear of trees and vegetation. Bit hot this time of year in full chainsaw kit, but outside in the sun, so can't grumble.

Hi guys,
After some advice regarding changing my clutch, when changing it can I just replace the friction plates or do I need to replace springs, friction plates and metal plates?
The reason I'm changing it is not because its worn out but because the amount of free play in the cable varies between hot and cold.
When its cold I have no free play, but when its hot I have lots.
I've tried everything except for changing the clutch, and have now been told by a couple of people I might have warped plates.

Over to you

Cheers Mark.
