Has anyone noticed whether the tyre fitter checks the wheel alignment and make adjustments accordingly or if he just puts wheel back leaving the settings as they came in?

Is it normal for fazer1000 gen1 to like starting without choke? I'm used to an old zx10 that loves choke, revs its doodahs off and then settles down. Only just got the fzs and starting from cold requires no choke. Starts straight up, doesn't smell rich, ticks over and idles nicely. The  other quick question is, is it normal for the fan to cut in after ticking over for 5mins in a shed. Thanks for any insight.

Hi all. Just bought a 2001 fazer 1000 to replace my 1988 zx10 that I just sold. Didn't want to sell, but fancied a change. Not even ridden it yet as no t+t untill tuesday. can't wait.

Not sure what the motivation is behind this:

Perhaps some probing questions should be asked such as "Does your Mum know you are using ebay?"

manages 1 race lap :eek
in reality did anyone expect anything else.

Hi everyone

I am back, 1 lost password later.

39 Year old Male from W.Yorks/N.Yorks borders.

Searching for a new end can for my beloved bike, any suggestion?? 

Took my GEN1 out for a blast today and she has been cutting out and sounds like some miss-firing going on, virtually as soon as she cuts out she can be re-started or if cutting out at speed she backfires after restarting out saying to me its not a fuel issue but electrical. It is very intermitant

I'm thinking either my alarm (Meta) needs ripping out so I need the bypass diagram or the side stand switch might be playing up.

Any suggestions for other areas I might need to look at?

Hi, anybody have a stock screen for sale? Cheers.

As above, does anyone have any suggestions? Please comment on my "rebuild" thread below. The pisons etc move but the chain is not moving and seems like it has come off lower gear/cog. Due to the angle the motor sits in the frame I am battling to get it back on. Any tips please? See thread below.
