hello all the are all wise in the ways that are fazer  :lol

I am toying with the idea of sticking a k&n air and oil filter in my beasty, but I have now had 2 apparent bike mechanics say to me not to put a k&n air filter because it could make dead spots in performance and say I should stick with originals

WAIT FOR IT

OR

stick it with them to dyno jet or some sort of magic trick to make it work and at the same time sucking the money out my pockets  :eek

so could someone clear this up for me please and answer the question of to or not.

I no that it seems lots on here have but is it worth it in the long run :'(

thanks in advance for your wisdom

yours well confused

in a masterpiece of no forward planning whatsoever instead of re-fitting my newly re-assembled forks i suddenly took a whole number of bits off the front of the bike.





one exhaust stud came out with the nut but the other 7 remain in place. i've double nutted another as seen in the picture but it doesn't want to move - any advice on how to remove the remaining studs? the far right (as pictured) stud must not snap as it's behind the frame bar and can't be drilled out!


and then there's the round thing at the bottom with a large nut on the front (i've seen it referred to on here as the oil cooler but it's not like a little radiator type oil cooler that i know) anyway is this a case of bending the tab back and unscrewing? and then will loads of bits fall out leaving me standing there staring at it in disbelief?


any help appreciated.

Morning all,


I'm looking for a fairing for my son's Fazer 600 (2003) - preferably perfect, in silver, but realistically, anything without cracks will do as I'm happy to get one re-painted to original silver.


Anyone know of anything ?

Morning All,


Just a quick intro hello - although I don't own a Fazer "personally" (I have a FJ 1200 and an Aprilia RSV) I'm still a big fan, having bought a Fazer 1000 for my wife and a Fazer 600 for my son.


The 1000 was bought in 2003 and is in superb shape. It's been toured extensively, Liz has done few laps of the Nurburgring on it and she used it for work when she was bike instructing, as well as being just her pleasure riding toy.





This is the 600 I bought for my son when he passed his test 2 years ago (as he was only just over 17, it had to be restricted to 33bhp - but, today he rode it for the first time in full power mode) 


We were very lucky with this one, having bought it from our best friends in as-new condition, even at 9 years old (but only 10k miles). I fitted the rack and then put his mums top box on it (for carrying things to school) and the exhaust can (to save the original).





Great bikes.


The 600 had a low speed tumble on the left last year (early/young rider silly tip-off) which put some minor scratches on it, but nothing serious - just to keep it in top nick, I'll be looking for some replacement parts.


Cheers.

Striping off my fairing, for better access to swap out my frt end with an R1 frt end, I found the wiring loom feed to the clocks, between the headlamps, had started to fret through on contact with the fairing. see photo.

Caught just in time as the loom tape was worn through and it was wearing the insulation, bike is an 03 and has done 35k, as far as I'm aware this is the first time the fairing has been off. Might be worth checking on bikes of a similar age and milage.

Yamaha had put additional protection further down the loom but not here where the loom is uncontrolled



e has done 35k

I am pissed off my tits.

Spent a nice evening with Andy, the landlord, went down the pub. Met several interesting people. I am now drunk (as I said), and in that happy sort of fuzzy state. What better time to embarrass myself by posting up here, eh?

I love you all!! Fuck that, not that drunk enough yet!  :b :lol

Been a good day in general though. Nice long sleep in, followed by seeing a friend I've not seen in 3yrs, then a lamb roast followed by the piss up. I am about to pass out happy, and wake up with a splitting headache!!  :rollin :rollin I don't give a shit (now), today was bloody worth it.

Ride safe, and watch out for mercs!!

Merv the Swerve, who was swerving a lot on his way home!  :b

can anyone tell me what this pipe marked in red
connects to carnt think where it goes i stripped my bike to spray my frame and carnt remember where this goes




thankss

Hi,

Looking for abit of help.  Went out today to enjoy the sun. Clutch was working as normal - bite in the same place etc.

After about 45mins I pulled into a car park to have a fag and sat for about 5mins trying to get it into neutral.  I started to have problems changing down even with the clutch lever tight to the bars on my way home.  Locked up the back end once or twice so need to fix this asap.  Commute to work on dirty roads with a dodgy clutch is not something you want to be doing on a Sunday morning.

The clutch lever seems to sag and doesn't spring back properly.  I took a few pics when I took the casing off.  Most of my tools and my haynes manual are at my mates garage and he's off sking for a week so the more help the better.

I can feel the clutch wanting to move the bike when its pulled in fully.  Its not going to take off but I'd roll if I lifted my feet when stopped.  Bikes done 15000 miles, no clutch issues before today.

Cheers

Andy
