Did the headlight mod yesterday, very good write-up, bought the connectors from Autostar on ebay (cheap and next day delivery) included a waterproof connector that now sits behind the clocks in case of any MoT issues. Just need to adjust the beams (inner for vertical??) now.





Also ordered a 2.8mm female connector from autostar to replace the blue heatshrink part that should in theory enable me to use the blue connector under the tank.





Considering removing the metal cover over the dipped beam, has anyone had any issues at MoT time with the cover removed?


Cheers

Came across this in a museum in Spain.

Being naughty as this has nothing to do with my fazer thou, but my gsxr 750 'slabside' I have recently replaced the starter, ultrasonically cleaned the carbs, replaced the float needle valves and the bike still leaks fuel if fuel tap left on. Next issue is if i leave fuel tap on it lets fuel into the combustion chamber if left overnight, which causes a hydraulic lock - this was the reason i got a new starter, as i thought it was knackered. funnily enough it was pretty goosed, as the fuel leak ran onto the starter and removed the internal grease . Anyway does anyone know why it is letting fuel into combustion chamber? I know if i turn the fuel tap off i will have both issues sorted, but i owned this bike 8 years ago and never needed to turn tap off..


Ps... Fazer has been rebuilt after accident and has been in use for last few months

okay guys got a fazer 600 currently have a topbox fitted but really need more space would like some panniers and a comfier seat for longer journeys ( possible a gel one) can anybody help me with either of these? thanks

can anyone recomend anywhere to help set up my suspension to suit my weight etc,, to set the sag etc...... im in the scottish borders so somewhere in this area pref! and what has anyone else done to set thier bike up to suit themselves???

Fitted the ivans fce to my fz1 today. Been reading up on it first,, lots of opinions, some say it improves a 2009 some say it makes no difference. I guess it depends how they ran beforehand. Mine had a definite prob, changing gear etc there was a lag then lurch whenever I throttled off then on, unless I was right up in the powerband. Same thing taking long corners, on off throttle was a right pain. Anyhoo, took me time and made a proper job of it, soldered the wires into the connectors as well as crimping them etc, then took it out for an hour. Huge improvement all round, and surprisingly, deffo a horsepower hike from about 4k rpm. I'll use it like this for a week in lots of different situations before I start the rest of the jobs( pc3, secondaries, airbox mod etc)make sure it's not my imagination, but so far it's definitely a winner.

hi folks, im in the scottish borders, after making a comeback to biking after a 5 yr break i bought an sv650s 04 reg wi 12000 miles for £1350.. only reason i bought it because it was a bargain! after 1900 miles of pain and discomfort i was persuaded to buy a fazer!!! comfort and relief by the bucketfull!!! only done 100miles so far but still smiling!!! roll on the summer!!!!

Whilst out riding, the front sprocket securing nut came off and damaged the splines and threads. Has this problem happened to anybody else and how did you solve it please? Also, where is the best source for replacements parts?
Thanks, Sue
