After my Fazer falling over and cracking the fairing I have been looking into getting it replaced.


The Cowling is approx £210 but the graphics to go on to it are about £90


Am i looking at the wrong thing or are they really that expensive.

Hi there,


googled quite a bit, I am looking for an online shop for OEM parts. My local (Singapore) doesnt import them all.




Also is there a parts catalogue for the Fazer 8 somewhere?




In particular, I am looking for a the grey fairing on the front (amongst other parts):

Hi guys,

My fazer has recently started misfiring when cold, as soon as she warms up she is fine. Has anyone else come across this problem and or have any suggestions as to what it could be. My immediate reaction is to check/replace plugs and leads. My carbs have recently (sept 2013) been overhauled and new carb rubbers fitted, so im hoping they wont be the issue.... I have been riding in the terrible wet weather recently, and wondered if i had some water ingress, but then im guessing it wouldnt stop once warm.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all,

Im the owner of a Fazer 600 1999, located in Essex!

Now then, new to biking just past my direct access test and bought a 2003 fazer 600. I live in the north east near Middlesbrough if there are any meets etc on the go.

Anyone tried Dunlop Sportmax Qualifiers?  My brother has a brand new set he says I can have (although unfortunately not the marchesini magnesium race wheels they are coming off...)


Wondering if they will square off rapidly.  I currently have a 190 maxxis sportmaxx on the back with a metzler K2 ex race tyre on the front, both of which are coming to the end of their lifetspan.


While I am at it, the 190 rear is squashed onto the std rim which is really for 180.  I do have a 190 R1 rear that I might stick on, any handling issues when doing this?

I have heated grips, and HID lights, the correct unit, not just bulbs ( which I find are great), but, I would also like to fit some heated insoles to my boots, but will the standard alternator be able to manage. My pride and joy is a 2001 FZS 600.

A word of advice to anyone thinking of taking the B2146 or B2141 on the Hampshire/ Sussex border area in the next few days: *DON'T*!

The first one is a river and the second one is a lake at the moment...  [img alt=hock:]http://www.solent-advanced-motorcyclists.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif[/img]

I'm going to be leading a Ride Out next Sunday, so, as the weather was fine, I figured it would be a good chance to check out the route. I'd looked on the web for details of flooded roads and nothing was marked on the ones I was planning on using and, indeed, everything was fine until I got to the B2146 just north of Chichester, when I came across a flooded section. It wasn't too deep, so I took it carefully and slowly and made it through without any problems.

Unfortunately then I came to another section. Again it wasn't too bad, but after that was a third section and half way through this one, the water was actually flowing! Of course it was too late to turn back by this point, so I had to carry on and then had to make a decision as to whether to turn back or continue.

I didn't fancy going back through those sections again, so cautiously continued, only to find another flowing section which was several inches deep (almost to the rim on my front tyre!). Fortunately, after that, I saw a couple of locals in a small village who told me that there was only one more section ahead which wasn't too bad.

They then said "Didn't you see the 'Flood' and 'Road Closed' signs?"

"What signs?" I replied.

"There's a couple over there," they said, pointing just behind me.

"Well there weren't any coming up from the south!" I replied.

Anyway, after that, I decided to check the B2141 as an alternative route, only to find that sections of that were flooded too. They weren't as bad, but at one point, whilst I was tiptoeing along at less than 5mph, following the dotted white line on the crown of the road to stay in the shallowest part of the water, I saw some idiot in a 4x4 coming belting towards the flooded section just ahead of me and I could tell that the pillock was going to come crashing into that water at speed, sending spray and waves all over the place, so I did the only safe thing and deliberately moved across onto his side of the road to block him from this at which point he winds down his window and starts yelling at me to get out of his way!

Fortunately all the other drivers and riders I encountered had had enough sense and respect for other road users not to drive like a total moron...  [img alt=:roll:]http://www.solent-advanced-motorcyclists.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Anyway, I got home, gave the bike a proper wash, then phoned 101 and told them to get onto the Highways Agency and get them to put out some warning signs on these roads ASAP.

Take care out there, folks!

Hi all - I removed the clocks this morning and replaced the lamps inside with LEDs - all worked fine.


Took the bike for fuel rode through a 60 zone and checked my speed was less that 60 as the road has average speed cameras. Filled up and on the return came back to the 60 zone checked the speed and had lost reading.




I have searched and many seem to point to the drive in the wheel. can these fail without the wheel being removed? or is  it more likely to be an electrical issue? I have check the wiring and there are no signs of damage - checked the connections in the box under the tank and they are all like new.




HELP  :'(

I'm off to France in May with my gen1 fazer 1000. 


I'm a bit concerned about putting the E10 fuel in my 02 Fazer. 


I know that Ethanol can attack various materials used in fuel systems like hoses and rubber seals etc.  Has anyone had a problem with using the E10 stuff in their bike?  I had a look on the MCI website and Yamaha claim that any motorcycle built after 1990 will be ok if the ethanol content is no more than 10% but I thought it wise to ask about actual experiences.....


thanks
