Hi  I have just joined the forum.

Just bought a 2001 Fazer 1000.

Last road bike was an MT03.
I have a YAS1 that I am restoring plus a TD3 rep based on an RD250.

I have been restoring Yamahas for many years and there is always a lot of focus on the frame and engine number matching, is this not the case on the Fazer?

The frame number is JYARNO6100000****
engine number is XN505E00****

thanks in advance harrness

Anyone fitted one to a FZ6? How easy is it and is it worth it?

Just been along to show my presence at the Ride of Respect here in Carterton/Brize Norton. Looks like there was a good turnout, and the locals seem to have appreciated the effort. Any other FOCcers attend? I saw a few Fazers, none I recognised from pics on this site though.

how long after did those of you that have had an hernia op ride your bikes? I had a double keyhole op on Wednesday and have been signed off for 3 weeks

Took about three hours to edit, and re-edit due to a crap pc and freebee software.


This is a short section that I like to ride down - avoiding all the potholes along the way....


Apologies for the quality - Youtube seem to have uploaded the worst quality, and it doesn't change even if you select 1080p...


Bday

Well the day before going i got out the documents and NO MOT  :eek  , runs out that day, so dropped it off in the morning  with a note through the door ,
picked it up at 4 oclock,pissing down with rain,
home, water in my pants,, leaving for Folkstone in an hour, shooting rubber waterproof bottoms found and worn under my leaking wet suit,loaded up and rained most of the 230 miles to folkstone.


Next morning aranged to meet the other three at the tunnel;. i rode in checked in and found myself on the loading ramp to France, :lol


Switched the phone on quickly and rang them,,WHat,, :eek thet had done the same and were already the other side of the tunnel in a service station :lol .



It rained most of the way to our first stop on the French Swiss border but i was very dry except my boots,



Switzerland the next day was wet mostly and Italy was a washout, thunder storms and huge traffic jams around Milan
We were very pleased to get there safe and guess what ,, the sun came out and it never rained again, not even on the trip home.

I am getting married in 10 days time to a beautiful lady who also loves bikes and loves going on the back of me, it will be 122 days from the time we started going out together and getting married, despite being nearly 48 I have never been married before

I had a double hernia op on Wednesday so no bike riding at the moment,i have the parts to fix the clutch and get back on the road,i am missing riding my bike :'(

can't wait,, hope the storms dissappear

Monday is "National Ride To Work Day".
I've been contemplating whether or not to say anything about this here on FOC-U, but I just can't hold it in anymore.
I work for a well known bike accessories company, and on Friday a number of internal e-mails bounced around.
"Please would anyone who has a bike come in on it on Monday, so we can take some photos to show how we're supporting the industry" - from one executive who doesn't even own a motorcycle.
"I'm up for a lift in on the back of a bike if anyone's willing" from a manager who also doesn't ride motorcycles.
There's maybe six people who work there that own bikes and ride regularly. No one else is even particularly interested in bikes.
Well, I've been "supporting the bike industry" for over 30 years now, rarely owned cars, and don't need some stuck-up management types telling me when I should be riding one.
D'ya think I should go in by car just to piss them off?
