Anyone got a pic of where they are located in the head??

For those who are of shorter stature than some on here, or who can't live with the barn door-sized abominations that some like, here's my suggestion:


Take a double bubble screen of unknown manufacture (Cheers, seangee!), a can of Poundland matt black spray paint, a dremmel and a bit of screen trim. Mark and cut the screen so it lines up with the fairing, spray the inside matt black, fit the screen trim, and there you have it.


I'm 5'6" and it provides perfectly good protection for me.


The only problem now is that the mirrors look out of proportion, so I may have to look at bar-ends. Anyone know of decent looking blanking plates for the mirror holes in the fairing?

I just bought  a Yamaha FZ1 FZS Fazer 1000 Service Repair Workshop Manual 2001-2012 on a disc from ebay.

The seller has lots more discs for lots of makes and models and my first impression is great value for money.

It is the whole [size=1em]service and repair workshop manual as pdf`s on a disc[/size]

[size=1em]This is not an advert but more of a heads up for anyone who may be interested.[/size]

I got mine for the princely sum of 99p plus 60p postage.


I thought it might just be a copy but it looks genuine enough and to be honest even if it`s a copy it`s still worth £1.59.

as found on the 2001 model [size=78%]are these available anywhere?[/size]

I was going to charge up my battery for the FZ8 to top it up over the winter months but I decided to read the owners manual first of all.  It said that the battery is a Valve Regulated Lead Acid battery and that a special (constant voltage) battery charger is required. Using a conventional battery charger will damage the battery. I've got an normal optimate charger that I've used on the other bikes that I've had. Does this mean that I can't use my optimate charger on the Fazer battery? :\

Some unhelpful sod evidently hit the foot peg while the bike was parked the other day, and the peg now spins, which is unfortunate when it goes far enough around to fold away!

What is involved in changing this out? And does anyone have one if these in their spares box they would sell me?

Gen 1 fzs6 1999.

Thanks!

I would like to buy a hugger for a Gen 1 Thou. I would prefer black or carbon. No cracks or broken fixings please.

Anybody got a spare they want to sell?

I am also on the look out for a rear disc in good condition.

Thanks

UN FOCCING BELIEVABLE :'(

Just a short one but I feel the need to clarify after being fed 2 opposing pieces of info.


Recently purchased a new genuine Yamaha drive chain kit for my 5RT1 model Fazer.
The kit itself was advertised as 2000-2003, but the box received has 1998-2000 written on it in big black marker pen.
After raising the point with the seller they say that the kit should be fine with 1999 - 2002 models.
However my research says that the part number changed when the Foxeye model arrived.


Part number I received: 5DMW001A0100
Part number I supposedly need: 5DMW001A0000


My question: Can I use the chain I have received as the seller says (the part number changed but not the part?) or should I insist on an exchange?
