If you have ever adjusted the carburettor pilot screws on the 600 Fazer you will know how restricted the space is on number 3 carb. If you have dainty fingers you might be able to use a very short screwdriver, but I can't. You can buy a bent tool for £18 which is probably good for most bikes but which I found possible but tricky to use on number 3 carb on the 600 Fazer. There is also a much more expensive tool available that uses a pair of small bevel gears and would no doubt do the job well. After seeing a similar idea to this on another forum this is a tool I made using an angled screwdriver from Toolstation for £6.59 and which makes the job a lot easier. Very pleased with the end result which makes the adjustment easy. The chrome extension tube was something I had lying about from some scrapped item.

Hi All, I just bought an FZS1000 which has a white power shock fitted. I can see there are 3 adjusters which I'm guessing are low and high rate compression, at the top, and rebound at the bottom, but I was hoping someone might have a user manual to clarify things for me please? I can't see any markings on the shock to indicate what model it is or which adjuster is which.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Karl

Has you ever heard of using exhaust pipe temperature as a guide when adjusting the pilot screw?

Just for interest I measured to temperature of the exhaust pipes shortly after starting from cold and ticking over for a couple of minutes and I was surprised to find number 3 pipe only got to about 70C when the others had got to about 100C. When I ran it at 2200 revs for a couple of minutes all four got to about the same temperature. I could detect a slight unevenness at tick-over but it never bothered me when riding the bike, which has now done 60,000 miles. After checking cylinder pressures and valve clearances etc. I decided to have a go at a little adjustment of the pilot screw on number three which did smooth out the tick-over. However after letting it all cool down and starting again the tick-over was still smooth but number three ex pipe was still not getting hot as quick as the others. Another 1/4 turn out and now all four pipes get hot at the same time and tick over still smooth. Hence my question about making final adjustments based on exhaust pipe temperature heating up from cold, because I've never heard of it being done that way, and you would normally make such adjustment with everything warmed up. 

Does anyone have  -

1. a comfort/Gel or otherwise modded seat for the FZ1..?
2. a set of bar risers for same.

ta.

Looking for the above for a 2003 (01-05) fazer 1000.
Let me know

Selling an MRA Vario Screen as fitted to my 2002 FZS600. This is the light smoke grey version and was bought new about a year ago. In good condition but has a couple of tiniest of stone chips which to be honest you can only see in certain light, and when I say tiny, I really mean tiny!

Anybody have a Mivv can for sale for a Fazer1000 ?  Must be in excellent nick....Thanks

I thought I'd try something different.  My first  bike was a Honda XL250S  back in 1981 and since then all my bikes have been road bikes. So I thought I'd maybe get this for new adventures

YAMAHA FZ6 S2 Genuine Yamaha Gel Seat. Condition is used, £50 + £10 postage
This is the genuine Yamaha Gel seat in excellent condition.
Part No ABA-4S821-00

Hi. 1st post with a mystery question.

Discovered a leak the other day whilst riding my 2000 FZS and tracked it to a little pipe that connects from the main water pipe to the oil filter/cooler. So I gave it a little wiggle only for the thing to snap off from the main water pipe and spew an oily/dirt water everywhere under pressure.

So I go looking on engine diagrams for a replacement part only I can't see this part anywhere. Take it to my mechanic who also can't work out what the part is. So here I am.

Hopefully you can see from the pics what this is. If not, I'm just going to bypass the part and chop the bigger off!

Cheers for any help.
