Hi all,

I'm Alex, and collect a 2003 Fazer 1000 tomorrow evening. It's my first Fazer and I've bought it for summer runs between work (North London) where I stay down in the the week, and home (North Yorkshire) at the weekends. I've owned two R1s, a 4XV and 5JJ so am looking forward to that grunty R1 derived motor! I also own a Harley Davidson Fatboy and 2024 BMW GS1250 Adventure.

It's a very standard silver model and broadly unmodified. Will post a photo when collected.

I'm on the lookout for Givi pannier racks ..... which I understand are hard to come by.

Thanks

Hi all, been a while since I was last on, looked through the threads and can't see anything on this. My 2002 will red line no problem in 1st, 2nd and 3rd but 4th upwards, get to 8ooorpm and it bogs down, all power gone, won't rev past unless I pull in the clutch, roll off the throttle and all good. It's across all four cylinders. Any thoughts?

I still have problems with it sometimes, not always, cutting out under acceleration, sudden and brief, bit of a problem when overtaking, wondering if this is linked to the above issue or not.

A friend with a Kawasaki GTR asked me to help him with his GTR as it was blowing fuses.

I found that the  Regulator/Rectifier had blown and when looking for a replacement I came across a company called UltimateRectifiers.com in the Netherlands.

They sound good and have a contact phone number and a 3 year warranty on the Rectifier/regulator, but nobody can give me any info on them

Electrexworld in the UK do not do Rectifier/regulators for many newer models including the GTR

........I have posted in the For Sale section but can not get my photos to upload....any ideas from the site gurus?
I can WeTransfer a file of photos & video to anyone who's interested.

I have ridden little in the last few years & lack of time & money mean I will not be riding this season either, so time to sell the bike.......

As seems to be a theme these days, greedy leadership with poor management ability fcuked the company.  Said fcukwit's need to be a) drained of all the cash they made and b) KTM as a brand needs to die. They were always too expensive and too unreliable. I can't believe KTM pulled a bait and switch, that sh1t might fly on cars (where punters are too stupid to know better) but not on motorcycles. The camshaft scandal perfectly demonstrated what they thought of their customers. I feel for the employees (I have a dealer local to me).

Hi all, not sure if this is a common fault, but my gear lever seems to have a lot of movement side to side. It's a 1999 600, the crinkly washer is present & there doesn't appear to be a brass sleeve that can be changed. I've checked out rear sets online & the cost is eye watering. Does the gear lever or footrest wear quicker than the other?
Thanks in advance

My adapted BMW shock now for sale.  Decent condition apart from the spring preload ring, which is chewed up quite a bit.

• Gen 1 bronze coloured 2010-2012 version of the shock, about 313mm from centre of top mounting hole to centre of bottom mounting hole.
  
• Two sets of dogbones included (as I couldn't remember the correct length ones for this shock and no longer have a Fazer to check).  One set is 150mm from hole centre-to-centre, the other is 155mm.
  
• Rebuilt by PLR suspension (Irish Road Racing experts) and has done around 800 miles since then, should be good for another 15k+.
  
• Black Yamaha R6 spring fitted, rate is 525lbs-inch. The standard BMW spring (red) also included, but from memory it's 475lbs so not really up to carrying anything other than a very light rider.
  
• Top shock mounting point uses top-hat spacers & a 10mm bolt, so it has not been drilled out to 12mm as per standard setup.
  
• Bottom mount uses a 10mm bolt and a spacer for the inside of the lower suspension knuckle's spacer (reducing it down from 12mm to 10mm). If you want it to be 100% perfect, the lower mounting point would need to be drilled out to 12mm as per the Fazer's lower bolt setup. Personally, I ran with the spacer / 10mm bolt setup & had no issues.
