I have drained tank and cant get the last bit of slush/rusted fuel out of the tank. I've taken off everything but it still has rusted fuel in it. Any tips on how to remove the remaining stuff?

Hey people. I'm wondering what my next steps are maintenance wise, realistically priced aswell to keep my bike running nicely.

It's recently had oil and filter change, new air filter, spark plugs, chain removed and cleaned and new brake pads all round. Obviously all the other adjustments and new tyres etc.
Bike has 33,000 miles on.

It's far from a show bike but I'm just worried about something major going wrong as I'm avoiding valve clearances and a carb balance/service.
Thanks in advance, what do you think?

I have a haynes manual but pretty sure first step says "remove engine"

What do i need to remove?
I'm thinking Carbs, Exhaust headers, Radiator.  Anything else?  Any tips from anyone who has done it before?  Also don't want to turn engine over to get to TDC before i strip as there is a stray screw in there somewhere.  Will that cause problems later trying to line up timing marks?

Cheers

I dunno about you but i have zero desire to jump a red light!


Watch the video to the end, the fella taking his jacket off is priceless.  :lol

Can you get a splitter and run two devices through a single Ethernet cable at the same time?

I'd like to thank folk on here helping me diagnose problems starting the bike again.

The main issue I have now is it's idling low to the point where it sounds like it's about to stall, and then a few seconds later it'll return back to something more modest like 1,500, it is say erratic the needle isn't smooth and I assume the carbs would probably need balancing now I've tinkered and cleaned them. All 4 cylinders are firing, I know because I now have burnt numb finger tips from touching the downpipes.

It's probable something trivial that I might get a garage to look at since it'll need an mot anyway, although the engine oil is old too and will be getting the whole change over on Saturday.

Any more tips appreciated.

Hi folks,

I'm not new to motorbikes but I have only just got round to passing my (direct access) motorcycle test at age 43 & 11months  :lol , which was just a few weeks back.

I dont really see it as a mid life crysis but other might "they can go n shove their thoughts where the sun dont shine though"
After meeting my wife & starting a family many moons ago I decided bikes would take a back seat untill my children were all grown up.
Now that that is the case I've gone & got my licence & I'm hoping to pick up a fazer 

Like many I'll be having to buy a bike with starship miles as the budget is low, but maybe if a bike has lots of miles its been looked after to get as many clocked up, or at least thats what I'm hoping.

Anyway enought for now I'm off to brows about the forums to fill my mind with as much info as possible 

Cheers - Sandscorcher (Lee)

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!

I have just joined here toaday so I should "tip my hat" as the saying goes

I have been riding bikes since I was 14 and I'm now 55 (yea gods that's 41 years!!!  :eek ) but I became legal when I passed my test with the Army in 1983 (Northern Germany in February - how we laughed!)

I have always been inclined to tinker and ready to get my hands dirty but it was always wise with newer machines to use a garage for the stuff that might have a bearing on warranties etc.

I'm older now and so is my bike. I have an FZS 1000 of 2005 vintage which I don't want to change as it is such a cracking bike and much better than the 2006 + models. This being so I thought I would seek out other Fazer fans and see how much more I can get out of the "Fazer experience".

I tend not to ride all winter any more, it's not big and it's not clever (wrote one off on black ice in 2000 ouch!! ) but am not put off by the weather if the need arises, anyone can do it in the sunshine can't they?

I am not inclined to "customize" with all the whistles and bells, a work colleague had an Fzs 1000 with every colour co-ordinated piece of garbage you can imagine and it looked like a carnival float :rolleyes but I am keen to use the odd enhancement such as better than standard air filters etc. So there you get the idea, if is isn't functional then the builders spec is likely optimum!

I don't know why I haven't joined here before as I do belong to other internet fora concerned with my hobbies etc so I am comfortable with the concept. Still better late than never and I am really looking forward to learning from other members an hopefull contributing a little myself perhaps.

Regards

Mark
