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

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

Abba Stand Adapters

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.

So if any good for anyone just drop me a message ??
my fuel guage is not reading correctly only just happened last ride , filled up to the brim yet the fuel gauge only read half way, after about 100 miles it then read near empty then orange fuel warning light came on , so im possibly thinking sender unit faulty ?
anyone had this issue before ?
also if it is sender unit where is that located , underside of the tank i guess ?
Well I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Kawasaki Z1000sx today, which sadly means my time with the Fz1 has come to an end.
I will be sad to see it go, its been an immensely fun (and expensive) 5 years but it's just time for something slightly more practicality and a lot less "look at me" haha
I plan on sticking around (if you'll have me ?) as 80% of my interactions on here have nothing to do with Fazers haha but also I'd like to hope that I've molded and messed about with enough parts of a gen2 that I'd still be able to offer some helpful advice to others ?
I think Ive got about 4 days until the Kwak comes so in the meantime I'm going to rummage through the garage and see which originals parts I have left to swap out so I may have some stuff in the for sale section soon
The time has come to part with my Fazer.I've had it over 10 years and it's been my favourite bike by far, I hope that I won't regret letting it go. When Mike Falcon Ivanised it, his comment was "if it's not the best Fazer that I've seen it's certainly in the top three"...
Details:
It's done 27500 miles,
was MOTd last week,
wears an Akrapovic can (standard also available),
S1000RR rear shock (standard also available),
has a META alarm/immobiliser with a key fob conversion,
full history and everything else you would expect of a pampered dry weather toy.
It's mechanically perfect, rides like a brand new bike and gathers positive comments everywhere it goes.
Located in Fareham, just outside Portsmouth.
Price £3k
[I attached the photo's to the post, full sized versions can be found here & here - bkd]
Long shot I know, but has anyone got one minty R and G crash bung for an FZS 1000? Google "R and G Racing Crash Protectors for a Yamaha Fazer 1000" and you will see the type I am looking for.
