Nearly done with fitting r1 front end, however, noticed that the casing of the ignition switch is just touching the steering lock bracket on the frame when turning to left lock!  Has anyone else had this?  Will be easily sorted,but not heard of anyone else mentioning this so just wondering.  It is a complete 98/99 front end.  Will post pics when I can, but any responses would be great.  Cheers.

[font=]Nice to see you......to see you nice......with wonga![/font]


[font=]You've all endured my should i do loads of mods followed by my recommend a new bike thread.....next on the list for end of this season.......how much is the noggyfighter "likely to fetch".....I'm not saying worth...that's a mine field....& target market, where i am located in Wales etc are factors....plus there's so many easily sellable items on it that i fear i may be forced to break the bike & sell everything off...yes a real shame i think...but a financial fact...I'm aware that this will be hard work & the nitty gritty of foccing about with engines etc isn't high on my things i want to do list.[/font]


[font=]I already know that fazers are going low....i'd say for a good, original & undamaged bike roughly £1500 any day....maybe £1800 tops for the above which has been fully modded up with all the desirable bits & bobs.[/font]
[font=]Mostly the hacks are around £700 to £800[/font]

[font=]My bike is better than just a hack though & has lots of tasty bits....it just needs a little tlc....it hasn't been used in all weathers for all of its life, it is low mileage & the engine is really sound.....it just had a bit of a spill...before that it was a really clean example.[/font]

[font=]So i would describe it as a decent project bike.....& i have most of the bits to complete it.[/font]


[font=]Bad bits[/font][font=] first:-[/font]

[font=]Has been crashed.....last years off at 40 - 50mph....slid down road on its right side.[/font]
[font=]No front fairing.[/font]
[font=]Fairing bracket is bent back in place but not acceptably straight for fairing.[/font]
[font=]Simmi end can has superficial damage.[/font]
[font=]Tank has an inch diameter dent which has been touched up.[/font]
[font=]Right side rear panel has a scrape which is touched up.[/font]
[font=]Radiator has 1 bolt from side trim snapped off inside hole.( not from crash, from alu blue weak bolt)[/font]
[font=]Polisport mx headlight with crap light, only got for mot passing.[/font]
[font=]Rear brake switch needs the wiring attached properly, snapped off when trying to change the brake lever so it is bodged on by me but works perfectly...just 2 wires for someone that's handy with fiddly stuff.[/font]


[font=]So not that bad...but still nowt special.....but what about the [/font][font=]good points[/font][font=]:-[/font]

[font=]Fzs600 2001[/font]
[font=]Engine is bulletproof, only 14k miles, very powerful, used hard but oil changed every year, Treated with Activ8 additive (no activ8 threads please, it shows i care, i am a believer), gearbox is sound with no jumping or crunching.[/font]
[font=]Will have a fresh MOT.[/font]
[font=]Yamaha brake pads & brake fluid, front & rear changed by yamaha dealer about 2k miles ago.[/font]
[font=]Swinging arm bearings replaced for mot last year.[/font]
[font=]Old receipt from a previous owner for new carb rubbers.[/font]


[font=]Modifications & tasty bits[/font][font=]:-[/font]
[font=]Front yoke dropped 10mm on forks for sharper handling.[/font]
[font=]Rear end jacked up just over 25mm on perception components wishbones.[/font]
[font=]Simmi performance end can, battle damaged from crash but still only 1 year old, still works & sounds sweet.[/font]
[font=]Stainless steel downpipes, unknown manufacturer, possibly sandy, off Christos old bike & now very clean.[/font]
[font=]K&N air filter.[/font]
[font=]K&N oil filter.[/font]
[font=]Uprated front sprocket nut.[/font]
[font=]Grey Renthal 758 Ultra Low handlebars.Blue annodised shorty CNC brake & clutch levers.Blue annodised Renthal handlebar clamp.Blue annodised Renthal bar end plugs/weights.Renntec crash bars.Very rare blue silicone radiator & coolant hoses kit, only 1 year old, still haven't fitted some of them.Coolant flushed & replaced last year & this year.Silver pro bolt brake fluid reservoir topSilver pro bolt oil filler capVery rare [/font][img width=96 height=15 alt=Description: http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/faz.gif]http://foc-u.co.uk/file:///C:/Users/PORTCO~1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[font=] Engraved stainless rear brake  torque arm.[/font]
[font=]'sport' front fender, aftermarket (looks like though), cost me 80 quid plus 80 quid to spray.[/font]
[font=]Original fender with fender extender...small crack where extender meets fender (common problem)[/font]
[font=]Ok so lots of pissy bling really that i could easily sell on its own if needs be.[/font]


[font=]What else have i got lying about as extras:-[/font]
[font=]Original end can (meh).[/font]
[font=]Complete & undamaged aftermarket fibreglass boxeye front fairing, (requires prep & paint).[/font]
[font=]2 x complete blue spot front brake calipers with pads ( as were on Christos bike as crashed).[/font]
[font=]1 x tasty fzs1000 rear blue spot caliper & hanger, from a 10k miles bike, just paid £90 a few weeks back.[/font]
[font=]Pair of extra triangle air box covers.[/font]
[font=]1 x non crashed, non bent front fairing bracket for boxeye (rocking horse shit)...just needs painting.[/font]
[font=]Left side mirror bracket.[/font]
[font=]Both original mirrors, right has scuffed plastic.[/font]
[font=]Original torque arm.[/font]
[font=]Original grey rear grab rail.[/font]
[font=]So that's allot of foccin stuff & allot of moneys worth if i sell it all separate.......but how much as a complete package????...i mean pretty much all of the components are there to complete the project......i would say a new second hand tank would be in order & a paint job...& a bit of time & it is an awesome bike again..[/font]


[font=]To top it off.[/font][font=]....the icing on the cake........the chance to buy my snazzy Dave Cooper single bike, collapsible motorcycle trailer( £370 new) used on only 2 scotland trips......i really cant bare another 500 mile 50mph trailer trip plus my new car doesn't have a tow bar & i aint shelling out another 300 quid for one.....all funds required for a new bike.[/font]
[font=]This could potentially be a fettlers dream package....a project bike....plus a minted bike trailer.....plus tow the bike away using the trailer which overcomes wales distance issue.[/font]
[font=]What dyas reckon.......what sort of price could i realistically get for all of this...1 package...wham bam thank you mam????...& would anyone seriously consider it by end of summer???.....serious foccers i'd consider a decent deal to just know that the bike was appreciated & i could see its reincarnation......but i dont want the piss taken by anyone who I've never even "virtually" liaised with...some of you have helped me out allot since i've had the bike.[/font]
[font=]No clambering for individual parts please.....if i do end up having to go down that road i'll pop another post up.[/font]
[font=]Noggyfighter will still be seen having another few thou miles of fun this year & proving that I'm not selling for any undisclosed reasons or because I'm hiding something.[/font]
[font=]Cheers[/font]
[font=]Nog[/font]

Hi all, I was out yesterday and the rear end on my fazer felt a bit wayward. Might just be greasy roads but it's a pr3 tyre at 41 psi and plenty of tread.
When I got back I tried looking for worn bearings etc. The only play I found was in the shock linkage somewhere. When I lift the back of the swing arm up and down I have a slight movement. Is this normal. I replaced all the linkage bearings last year when I put the r6 shock and replacement dog bones on.

Got holders off, go to pull camshaft up but not coming. Lifted slightly on right, but not coming on the side nearest the alternator.

Have I missed something? Don't want to pull too hard

I picked up these in a hurry when I first started riding, however I they're a bit big for me and come to prefer a track style fitting trousers. Been sat in wardrobe unused for ages now, so time for a clear out. Still in perfect condition, no scuffs, scrapes, rips or tears, zips all good, lining in perfect condition too. They have knee armour and slots for optional hip armour.

Size: UK 32. 32" waist, inside like is about 31", so good for the tall. They have Velcro pulls on the sides of the hips to give a bit of adjustment. Would suit between a 32-34" waist fine. They're a fairly straight, over boot cut. Two zip up pockets (no holes in bottoms of these) and two zips at the cuff to go aid pulling over boots.

Due to condition, I'm looking for £75.
Can meet up round London, East / Essex Border. Otherwise I don't mind posting (let me know and I'll get a quote).

Can any one advise please? I went for a bimble today to settle in some new tyres and worked a route on Google of 48m. when I got back speedo trip read 73m.
  Is there a different sensor for kmh and mph? Speedo is definitely showing mph with kph inside ring. One of the lugs is broken on the sensor but cannot see that making such a difference.
Tyres are correct size ie 110/70/17 brand new so in effect will give more accurate reading than worn ones.


Any ideas anyone please?


Thanks
Barrie
