Any one from the East Riding (Hull, Beverley, York, Goole etc) heading to Squires for the 'Ride of Honour' to Catterick?

Hoping to be using my Fazer8 as much as possible over the winter months, any one got tips or nuggets of wisdom/experience on what to use and how to keep it in as good nick as possible?

cheers

I'm after a full exhaust system for my Fazer, any make considered but prefer Akra or similar.

I have polished up my gear change leaver and selector rod and want to clear lacquer them has anyone used any and got any rec's. I am looking at this  http://www.siroflex.co.uk/sections/tecta...nance.html the one at the top of the list. I can get this localy from toolstation

I have the internal parts of the forks from a '99 FZS 600 available. The bike had done about 24k so the springs may still be of some use to someone not after anything special.

Free to collect or pay for postage (located in Chelmsford, Essex)

This is from a pre 2000 Fazer so does not have the pre-load adjusters.

I have the fork lowers lying around as well I think... forgot to take a photo though

Hi All,

Well after some work my "project" Fazer is on the road again.
It runs excellent, easy and comfy bike to ride.

One thing is puzzling me though....

I was going to put a new oil filter on (K&N) and change the oil (Motul 5100).
But I had some 20W40 mineral (motorcycle) oil sitting on the shelf , so I changed the oil with that and left the filter on.
Idea is to run it for a few hundredth miles and than do a proper change with the K&N  filter and Motul oil.
This way, my thinking is, I would get some of the old muck out which has accumulated in the engine.(45.000 miles on the clock) I'm also putting in carb cleaner for the first two or three tank stops.

But on to the puzzling part, the clutch is now slipping for the first few miles.
When the engine is up to operating temperature the slipping is gone???
So I don't think it is the clutch, but it has something to do with the oil.
Is that possible, it is proper motorcycle oil albeit being mineral instead of semi?
And 20W40 should be okay for now as the outside temperature is still about 15 Celsius.
The range for 20W40 is 0 Celsius 40 Celsius if i'm not mistaken.

So I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this.
I'm now going to change the oil this week to see if it helps.
If not then the clutch is probably in need of new springs an friction plates.

Hi all,

Continuing my clearout and I've got an Airhawk 2 medium for sale!

Only used twice! The zip holder thingy has gone a bit wonky but still works perfectly, and I have sadly lost the straps! Looking online replacements can be found for £20. Therefore reflected that in the price  £70 posted £65 collection from west london
