Well done John McPhee.
Rode a fantastic race and well deserved.

Hi everyone. Just got a very good condition 2003 FZS600, 13000mls, and it's my first 4 cyl bike for a while. Also have a Firestorm which I love riding but my old bones ache for a while afterwards! I am 65 after all! Anyway, only rode the Fazer home after buying it, and much more comfortable, even if it hasn't got the big Vtwin grunt. looking forward to getting loads of tips and advice. Cheers

Hi all,
I'm selling my 2004 FZS1000 Gen 1 if anyone is interested ?
It's the more Rare Black and Silver colour scheme.
Has less than 27,000 miles on the clock and MOT until April next year.
I'm having trouble uploading photo's for some reason so please feel free to have a look here for the full write up and pictures https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143736684599
If you'd like any more photo's or info just drop me a message but i think I've covered pretty much everything in the Ebay add.
Thanks.

Hello
I have a 1998 Yamaha Vmax (sorry, not a Fazer).
One of the 'upgrades' on the post 1991 Vmax is replacing the front brake callipers from a Yamaha R1 (commonly referred to as 'blue spot').


Both of these bikes have 298mm diameter front discs.


Now a bit of searching reveals that the front brake callipers on Fazer 600 and FZ1S appear to be identical (the 600 and 1000cc models).


I know it is a big ask but please can someone who has one of these models measure the dimensions in the diagram below.  Note that the 2 Fazer models have 298 mm and 320mm diameter brake discs respectively.

Anyone got a known good genuine Yamaha reg/rec that's no longer needed.

I'm looking at getting my wheels re powder coated this winter. I know I'll need new wheel bearings but is its just those or is there anything else I need to buy beforehand?

I've had the standard size number plate on for quite a while, but I'm thinking about fitting a smaller plate, maybe 7"X5", or 8"X6".  What do you reckon?  I've got the R&G tail tidy and I reckon a smaller plate would look great, but I know there might be issues with Mr. Plod. I'd appreciate your views and  any recommendations for UK suppliers of smaller plates?

Hi,

Had a smallish accident this morning, for the first time in 23 years of riding bikes.

Kid went through a zebra crossing at full speed on his bicycle, not stopping to look left or right. I did what I best could and thanks to my reaction I only hit his rear bicycle wheel, but also caught a part of his rucksack and him with my fairing, which sent him spinning for 180 degrees. Landed on the tarmac with bruises and shock, but nothing serious.

I managed to stay on the bike, however my front fairing took a beating, broke and left side got pushed inside. Mountings for the fairing are all broken (mounting frame included). Inner black plastics are both warped. The left mirror is done too.

I'm looking to buy a complete new front fairing with frame, because this one cannot be patched.

Looked through Wemoto, but they don't have any. Ebay has partial fairing parts only, I need everything that goes in front except for the lights, instruments and blinkers.

Any clue where I might find that?

Thanks

As per title for a gen 1 1000....Thanks.
