I'm struggling to sell my Fazer and don't want to sell it for pennies, I like it too much and not riding it for 2 weeks has made me miss it alot. I'm now thinking I'm a daft foccer for even trying to sell it. I bought it after a lot of research thinking I would keep it for years as my main bike and then workhorse when I can afford one I really really want which would only come out in the dry (likely GSX1400 or XJR).


My main issue is my right knee in particular hurts when I ride the bike too long. I'm going to go to the doctor as a start, but the knee position of the bike isn't helping and I didn't test ride it when I bought it my dad did who is a couple of inches shorter (I was still on 33hp restriction for a month). It is comfy for 10 miles or less, so sitting on it in the showroom didn't point this out to me. What I'm asking is what can I do to the bike to help with this?


My ideas are :

• Pack out, raise up a few inches and re-cover the seat. The thing I worry about is will my legs go into the tank grooves properly after that?
  
• Raise the bike with 40mm dog bones.
  
• Bar risers and wider bars?
  
• Somehow lowering the foot pegs slightly although I already scrape them if I'm riding a bit OTT.

Previous owners of both my gen one fazer and cb1300 did that thing where they had loads of keys on their ignition key ring so they rattle about and bash up the finish on the top yoke.annoys the absolute fuck out of me, especially as your looking at it every time your on the bike.never did sort the fazer, but the cb1300 is mint apart from the top yoke, so looked on e bay and there's a feller doing polished stainless covers for twenty notes. Absolute bargain and it really looks so much better. I know it's not me old fazer but the principles there....

:eek  My post about 98s fazers sprocket nuts has gone, without so much as a by-your-leave. WHY
here it is on google cached to recap  http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/se...clnk&gl=uk

I have noticed since fitting a manual cam chain tensioner my bike vibes less, is that the case with most or is it just me.
now I have just got to fix the carburation problem, I have issues with carburation just over tick over, I have stripped the carbs twice and cleaned them including blowing them through with a compressor. the carbs are clean and the bike has not been stood up for a great length of time. the fact my bike has over 72k miles on it could the carbs be worn causing this? I don't want to spend money on an ivans kit if the faults is with the carbs

Don't suppose any of you fine chaps have a Givi Monorack (340F) complete with fittings and a Monokey plate (M3) you'd like to sell me?

To fit my 2001 600 Boxeye..
