Hi
I'm just putting in an endless cam chain and noticed that my Fazer has only one oil jet in the crankcase. In the haynes manual it seems to suggest that there are two. I dislodged another jet which is a closed nozzle with a spring and ball bearing which seems to fit on the right side of the crankcase parallel with the other oil jet. Both openings for these jets are slightly different.
Can anyone help please. Before i put the puzzle back together. I'd be very obliged.
Thanks
Pen

Im confused, after searching google etc I’m not sure if my fz1 2014 as this problem, if it does/did how can I check??

Here's mine..http://foc-u.co.uk/MGalleryItem.php?id=3456

Hi - just got a Fazer and want to get into maintaining it myself. Log shot, I know, but I'm hoping to find a cheap engine for me to play around with - dismantle, re-assemble etc. Obviously don't want to mess with the one on the bike until I know what's inside!! Could be scrap as I'm not planning to restore it.  Any offers considered. Thanks

Hello LOFO's.... What with this year being a bit of a wash out with Covid and all the restrictions that come with it, I'm going to put it out there for a meet, ride out and camp over for next year in the spring or summer.


I'm in the process of purchasing a private woodland and it's pretty central to all my favourite roads in the south east and just before the start of the 272 to Loomies from Tunbridge Wells.


Anyway, I'm thinking we could meet up, set up camp and acquire supplies of beer, cider and food then head out for a ride round the Kent and Sussex twisties or head west to Loomies, whatever we decide.


In the evening we could head back to the woods, drink and eat and generally talk bollocks round the campfire in a truly magical and private woodland setting.


Let me know if you're up for it and we'll keep this thread going and fine tune arrangements.


As usual, being a LOFO ride, nothing is set in stone so if necessary, we'll  just wing it.


I think we could all do with a weekend blow out after all this year has thrown at us and this has got to be a good way of leaving it all behind.


What do you say Foccers ? Who's up for it ?

Like many I guess I came here because I needed some advice. I'm an old git biker now in Essex and have been riding mainly TDM's for the last 20 years but came here for help on my '11 FZ1 Faired that developed milky oil.


Work in the NHS (IT), had a crack at all sorts of bike riding but now settled in to commuting (TDM's) and sportytours (FZ1) and a bit of hooning on both.


Try to support BMCRC by watching when I can and ex-marshal in the series. Like all motorsports and fettling bikes when it isn't raining or freezing the brass balls off monkeys.


Know a few of you foccers in real life, although they might not own up to it.


Hi.

Bike is a 2011 faired FZ1, previously good on all fronts, use it last in September, started it yesterday and it was a pig to get going (not like it or any other Yam left for a while), got it started but rough as a badgers armpit.


Let it warm up and then noticed the smell of coolant, 83-93C, condensation on the fork leg, thought the cap gasket was leaking or something. After it got hot, it was revving ok but running lumpy. Decided it needed a service so went to put it back on the drive as it was raining but thought I'd quickly check the sight glass, not the nice clear oil it was in September, now it's melted Crunchie or mayonnaise. Fook it, I thought, cylinder head gasket.


So I phoned Woodford Motorcycles and spoke to a mechanic who was really helpful and said he didn't think it was the head, he thought (in order of likelihood):


1. Water/Oil pump in the sump
2. Oil Intercooler
3. Leaky rad cap


This is all fine but in my old head it still says head gasket.


What do you guys think, are other coolant issues suspects?


Is water in the oil not that much to panic about (I am panicking)?


TIA

Can anyone with a bit of electrical know how give me a hand with this?


I'm trying to switch the clocks on my 2000 plate FZS600 with a R1 (5JJ) clocks.


I have the R1 front end on the bike, having the corresponding speed sensor / clocks seemed like a good idea at the time :rollin


I'm struggling with working out what's what, on the R1 terminal from the wiring diagram.


Perhaps I am going about it the wrong way?

Hi all,
Riding home the other day, noticed the tacho going to 3k. Nothing too dodgy on bike, felt a bit boggy at steady speed, like running out of petrol as I went to accelerate.
TPS.
Got Haynes out, Check the resistance accross the terminals - black/blue to blue = 5.5 (should be between 0 and 5 (+-1)) - blue to yellow = no resistance (should be 0-5 (+-1))
I've tried adjusting it, but just get the 3k error.
So broken!(?)

My questions are, do I need a new new one, can I get a second hand one? Are there any cheaper options?I saw a comment on a thread on here saying T-Max one fits but having had a look I can't see how - T-Max connects on the unit, FZS1000 one connects along the cable.

Where do people buy their Throttle position sensors? Can't find it on Wemoto, Ebay has one for £160...

Thank you!
Tom
