Hi, I've just bought a 2012 Fazer 8. Loving it so far. This is my second Fazer. Years ago I had a 1st gen Fazer 600.


Ive had quite a few bikes in the past and despite MCN's 3 star "review" of the 8 I can confirm its actually a fine machine 

That's if lads, anyone know how to test a fuel pump relay. My bike will turn over bug will not start. I dont here the pump priming on start up.

I'm having one bitch of a time trying to get my forks to line up with the rear. Never had so much trouble doing this job with other bikes. No matter how careful I am, once I tighten everything back up and recheck its moved out of alignment.
Has anyone else had this trouble with a Fazer or am I having a senior moment ??

Was thinking of having a fiddle with the pilot airscrew adjusters.
Can anyone recommend a tool to do this with the carbs in situ?

I have never wished anyone to win this years' Moto GP title as much as I want Dovi to,after being elbowed out of Ducati at the end of the year he wins and with a solid if not spectacular fifth at the weekend he's only a few points off Quatararo ,with a bit of luck and Marquez not about he's got a good shot at it this year and then a massive Foc off !! to Ducati. :finger

I like a close race with no quarter given but does anyone else think Andy Irwin is a bit out of control this year?  :eek

Hello Foccers,  during the recent hot weather I've taken to riding the twisties at night when it's cooler.
I want to fit some spot lamps to the front of the bike to help illuminate the lanes a bit better.
So, anyone fitted them ? Where abouts and how did you wire them ?
I'm thinking to splice them into the high beam as I don't want to think about pressing a separate switch when I'm on the move.
Bike is an FZS1000 also going the same route with the MT10.
Any ideas or advice would be helpful. 

Other 3 plugs look good but number 1 looks like tippex on centre electrode and running rich outside.. Any ideas??

Hi,


I've just purchased what was advertised as a Yamaha Fazer 400 headlight unit as I'm aware they can be modified to fit the 600 (which I own) and have better lenses than the 600.


I can't help but feel, however, that what I've actually purchased is a 600 unit that was removed from a 400 (seller probably unaware).

If anyone can compare, or look at listing photo's (that are still live), and let me know


Thanks
