Really like my FZS600 from 2003 but time to find something more modern with ABS and a bit more adopted to touring, even if city commuting is what I use it for daily. Love the smooth 4-cyl engines but don't really need the power of FZ1-S or similar. Considered the GSX 650 F but too heavy! On the paper the 2009 XJ6 Diversion F seems to tick most boxes but not really sure it brings any added value apart from the ABS?  Anyone with experiece of how the XJ6 compares with the Fazer's in terms of easy-handling and decent touring capabilities? Thx!

hello forum, just wondering if anyone has/had fitted light weight wheels to there Gen1 and were there any improvements you found with them on road use?

Hi guys,
I'm replacing my pitted fork stantion and have got stuck,
Theres a wierd like pressed in sleeve thing in my old stantion and nothing on the new stantion.


Whats this about? Can it be removed and tranfered over?

So I managed to buy my old Fazer 1000 back today, so happy ?

Afternoon, I know this issue has probably been done to  death my self included, I asked about higher renthal bars than the o e bars  but never gave bar risers a thought  till someone on here suggested them so my mind was made up in going down that route , however due to a elbow injury  in the early 80s getting worse I want to try bars with the extra height and width so my question is will renthal 754 bars fit on a gen1 1000 with std cables and brake lines  , thanks

Hi All

Hi all
I am just refitting the carbs on the Fazer after an ultrasonic clean. I am having problems trying to remember how the carb heating is plumbed in.. I think 


There is a pipe that comes from the radiator which I assume goes to the pipe that sits between carbs 3 and 4. see photos.  The problem is that I can't see where the other pipe that sits between carbs 1 and 2 goes to. I have a short Length of hose about 6 inches long but I am blowed if I can see or remember where it goes to.  The Haynes manual doesn't show ths in either the carb or cooling section.


Cheers


Martyn

Right seeing as my Fz1 has gone I have a few bits knocking about that I need rid of. Hopefully useful to someone here

A power commander 3 loaded with a custom map
£100 ± P&P

Pillion Seat for the Naked model (different seat to the Fazer model) these are very hard to find for some reason ?‍♂️
£50 + P&P

A black exhuast hanger
£10 + P&P

Original Levers
£10 + P&P

Abba Stand Adapters
£10 + P&P

I also have an original tail light lens. That can go for free if anyone needs one? Just P+P

And last of all I have a set of Oxford Saturn LED indicators. I have the full set of 4 but in all honesty 1 of them is a bit crap (it's usable but would need glueing) so I would be selling them as a set of 2 but throwing in the other 2 for nothing. They would also come with some resistors if wanted.
£15 +P&P

So if any good for anyone just drop me a message ??

also if it is sender unit where is that located , underside of the tank i guess ?
