Hi just need something clearing iv fitting the Ivan’s slip on kit to my ge1 Fazer carbs now I’ve read that I only need to enlarge 1 bypass hole eg the middle one but Ivan’s instructions say enlarge 2 holes 1middle and the back one so can I clear this up for me plz do I need both as per instructions or just the middle one I’ve read that from u on one of the forums thanksKit is slip on only not the full monty Also r the jets different in the 2 kits

My 04 has a digital fuel and temp read out (I am led to believe that these were fitted later?)
It showed my fuel and temp as like a bar chart but I started pressing buttons to see what happens    and that display has now gone and I now get what gear I am in and my temp as a figure and no fuel?


I have looked on google to see of there is a 'how to change the functions' type instructions but drawing a blank ... anyone help?


Cheers

Hello everyone


Probably a familiar tale but had far too many bikes over about 45 years ... every model of ZZR (5 1400's ... what an engine) and many XJR's which I love, had some daft stuff like a Kwack Spectre, a DR650 that I could not kick over  :rolleyes , had and loved a 1200 Tenere, Blackbirds, a C90 that IO could have gone around the world on it was that good (I will do a Euro trip on one at some point)


So spent daft money and lost fortunes, done lots of overseas trips, India, Sth Africa, The States and Euro trips .... and generally loved every minute.


Then last year I went over to the French Alps on my ZZR 14 and got home and thought "I never really enjoyed that at all"    so at 61yrs I reckoned I was done, sold up and retired my gear to a box in the garage.


Until last week when I got  chance of a cheap, highish miles FZS1000 and thought it will be ok for the odd hour or two out ... so just got back from a Worcester to The Gower trip out, back via the Mumbles and onto Fowlers at Bristol (for a drool) and back home. Well ... what a nice surprise that was! comfy, quick enough, went nicely around the left and rights like a good un and I can see why they have the following they have ... a proper nice bike!


So hello peeps and I look forward to joining in on the odd thread

been clearing my mothers house over the last week taking a lot of stuff to the dump, i have known for a while that they charge for certain items but noticed today they are charging £4.80 each for tyres  :eek ...the boxeye could do with a couple of new tyres but i am not paying £9.60 to get rid of the old ones. :grumble :grumble :grumble .  could this be the beginning of the end for home fitting ?...

I have various parts for a 2009 FZ1N for sale Inc 2 screens, a gear indicator, a servo eliminator, shorty levers and bar and mirrors if anyone is interested. I will post to UK

Hey! I realise the FZ8/Fazer 8 sold in fewer numbers here in the UK compared to the other models. There seems to be a smaller selection of aftermarket parts available probably due to the lower rates of ownership.


Just wondering if it would be a good idea for people to comment parts which they know are easily interchangeable from the 1000 and 600 models. That way when we're looking for something and can't find it listed for the 800 we know we can look for the same part listed for the 1000/600 and it'll fit.


What do you guys think?

Hi again, i changed the clutch plates and put new springs in it as well, put it all back together as it should be but the clutch leaver is very soft, very little resistance when you let the leaver go.


I adjusted the free play on the handle bar and found out how to do the engine side free play (the screw is as far out as I would dare leave it be) but it hasnt done much to the resistance.


I tried a gentle test as i could on the centre stand and it seemed to change gears ok.


Is this lack of resistance normal? I dont remember the clutch lever being like this when i did the same thing on my previous triumph 900?


Any ideas? Cheers guys

Maybe I should start a new thread but does anyone have a reference for a suitable paint for the black swinging arm on an FZS1000 2003?
