Hi all, basically i'm getting used to the bike and actually owning one. I'm having issues starting it. Tried it on choke, off choke, partial choke, partial throttle and is very hit and miss to get it going. Once it's going it's fine and then starting it again is spot on when it's 'warm'. It's just the initial start up.


Going to check the spark plugs when i next have time, sand paper and check the distance. Anything else i could look for?

One of my many pleasures away from biking is watching a good film. Last night I watched a film called Flight, I knew nothing about film other than it starred Denzil Washington. You can't beat a Denzil film and was not disappointed.
Enjoyed it from start to finish, especially the start!(Bet Denzil did too)


So I have a question to all you film buffs/needs in foccerland.....


Has Denzil Washington ever made a crap film?        :lurk

Hi all,


I'm new to fazers and new to this forum.


I have to say I'm very impressed with the bike a 2007 FZ1, after having so many different bikes from ducati race 998's to yamaha xt 600's.


The only problem I have had with the bike up to now is someone has changed the original indicators to led's and one has burned out (I hate modified stuff) and I need to get back to standard.


I'm planning on taking mine to Portugal in June when we emigrate and was wondering what kind of mileage I can consider stacking up? It has a power commander on and a boss can. I really dont want to be replacing her for a while.


Any help much appreciated


Mark

I got an error while trying to view the 13 things in 40 years thread tonight (and then the same error again when trying to navigate back to the forum home), error 508.:

Quote:Resource Limit Is Reached The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.

As all are probably aware, my Fazer 600 had a bit of a prang last weekend. And as I'm going to the US in October, I have no time (or money) to repair it. So, sadly, I have to break for spares.

The bike is currently with RED98, please post which parts you want below to confirm availability / existence. As a rule of thumb, if it's behind the bars, it's probably OK!

The engine and carbs are in good condition, but please allow a few days for the postal service to get the spare key to Red98!

Special/non stock parts for sale:

- Towbar (consider it a rear end safety device - will protect in rear end shunts, and save the rear fairing!). Heavy duty, and bolts straight on to an FZS600 (will need a Rentec rack, or the earlier grabrail): £200

- Stainless steel downpipes (for long footpegs). In decent condition, slight dent to middle pipe, purely cosmetic. £80

- Blueflame can and link pipe. Both clean, but a tad scruffy. Link pipe probably better suited for models with the shorter footrests. Will fit longer footrests with spacers. Baffles are currently removed, but will be included when they're found (I think they're either in the spares box in the trailer, or under the seat - will confirm). £40

- Rear hugger. Has a minor repair on the left hand side where it fixes to the bike. Apart from that, in reasonable condition. £20

- Rentec rack. A bit scruffy, but no visible dammage to it. Was happy lugging a 42L topbox down the motorway. Due to condition, would accept £30

- FAZER radiator guard. A rare model, I've only ever seen two like it. Mine, and one on a different project bike. Very sturdy, looks very nice. Stainless steel, I think. In excellent condition. Due to rarity and condition, £50


Sales of parts are paying off the insurance excess, and what's left will go towards a bike in the US, and travel costs.

recovered CHRISTO'S bike today after he fell off it on the  last lofo ride ...not a pretty sight.......on the plus side i hit 60mph on the way home...thats the fastest this bike has ever been  :lol :lol :lol

I was just wondering if any of you have used bike trader before and have received emails from scammers? I have had a few that are clearly and definitely dodgy, but some are not quite so obvious and I'm unsure if they're legitimate or not. It's when they say they are too far away to view the bike then start asking questions about your paypal account and stuff, although then I think well how else can they pay you? Plus that the documents and "necessary papers" will be available along with the bike when it is picked up by their shipper who will sign on their behalf? Just seems a bit dodgy to me that's all and I wondered what your opinion was? I might just take my email off the advert to be safe. I haven't given out any details to anyone yet.
