Hi


I had an issue with my EXUP valve pulley today, and now require a new one.  If anyone has one lying about, please let me know.


Also  If anyone has any spare EXU cable outers lying about I'd like them as well,  so I can send them off for new inners before I take mine off.


Thanks

Hi Folks


I've only had my 1000 for a year now,  and I was going to be getting stuck into the EXUP valve over the winter to make sure it was fine for this years riding.  But I ended up in hospital and had to have surgery on my back so I've been pretty immobile since the end of October and just getting back to normal now. 


I was taking my bike for an MOT yesterday and noticed the 7k revs at ignition problem,  So I asked if when doing the MOT and service they could look at the EXUP valve.  Got bike back last night and the 7k revs issue was still there. I thought I'd have a look and see if they had even bothered to look at the valve or not this morning before I phone them to complain,  and the 3 bolts on the cover had all been off recently and had grease on them so they would come off ok. I took the cover off and the cables were a bit slack, and the valve wasn't aligned correctly, so I thought I'd have a look at removing the whole thing and checking it was greased properly.


I removed the bolt from the centre of the pulley ok,  but was then unable to remove the pully.  It was stuck tight.  I could turn the pulley ok, it wasn't seized completely, just unable to remove it.  When I was trying to pry it off,  I ended up breaking off one of the forks that you use to lock it,  so as well as trying to find out how to remove the pulley,  I'll also need a new one.  Does anyone have one lying about?  or am I going to get shafted from Yamaha?


I then had a look at the cables, and one of them is frayed badly so will need a new set of cables as well.  I've checked on ebay,  and only cables I can find are a set of original oem ones,  which are going for 150 ish.  I've read on here about the venhill ones, but I'd rather not take the current ones off and send them away,  so unless I can find some decent second hand outers that I can use to get new inners,  I'm going to get fleeced for these as well.

I need a new clock face for my fazer 1000, the clocks work fine, but there is a crack over the fuel gauge


I know the 600 clocks are cheaper to acquire, do they use the same pod, can I just remove the front of a fazer 600 set of clocks and fit it to my 1000?


does anyone have the 1000 front cover without damage to sell?

Anyone else sitting at their desk at work itching get on the bike at hometime and enjoy the ride home in the sun...... 32 minutes to go....... :woot

Does anyone know the length Centre to centre of 25mm jack up kits for gen 1 fazer 1000?

Have bought a 2nd hand one of the above.

In the destructions it says that there is a reflector bracket included. I don't appear to have this - just the hanger bracket / frame & fitting plate.

Does the OE reflector unsecrew & fit to this or will I be just as well buying a stick on reflector?
