Has anyone got a couple of radiator end covers kicking about that they don't need anymore? Same with a radiator grille which protects the rad from stones etc.

Thanks.

Was doing a search for a fellow foccer when I came across this little gem. We have a chancer trying to sell an old style FZ1 rotor as coming off a 2009 model, when afaik this style of rotor was only ever fitted to the 2006/2007 models. Imho this should only be bought as an emergency spare if at all.

Now and again I have a look at what's for sale on e-bay.
I've still got my thou lying in my garage looking sorry for itself.  It needs some TLC.
But then I keep wondering, if the best route to keeping a thou on the road, is not to spend time and money on my exisitng bike, but to pick up a clean low mileage used example.
I mean look at this.  It looks genuine, it's even still got the crap Metz OE tyres on it.

Too far away for me.  But that could be a very nice bike for somebody. 

This topic has been moved to Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner.

A few spare parts for sale after twelve years of Fazer ownership.

• Aftermarket adjustable full length brake & clutch levers in silver, fitted the levers to the bike but never even used them on the road £15 inc post.
  
• Standard master cylinder. £15 inc post.
  
• Sensor at back of engine block. Errr... will have to find out name of it! Bought but never used £8 inc post.
  
• 4x mini indicators with 8x fairing spacers / cover plates. Fitted just one but actually preferred the standard indicators with clear lenses. Have the Audi-type directional flashing. I believe they require a different indicator relay fitted, so that they flash at the right speed. £20 inc post.
  
• K-Tech linear fork springs 8.5nm. Originally for a Bandit 1200 / XJR1300, but a spring is a spring.  Longer than the standard Fazer fork springs so I cut shorter spacers accordingly to restore correct internal dimensions. Suit a lighter rider between 9 - 12 stone. £40 inc post.
  
• Ignition coil for Cylinders 1 & 4, useful spare. £15 inc post.
  
• Hagon Shock. Standard length and spring for a 'standard' 75-100kg weight rider.  Less than a year old, bolts straight on £165 inc post.
  
• S1000RR rear shock. This shock WILL need disassembled & rebuilt by a suspension company as the damping has gone. Comes with a heavier R6 spring fitted and dogbones which restore the back end to around the standard height. Has an R6 lower mounting bolt and a spacer to go in the lower suspension bush. Preload collar a bit chewed up. Top mount will need drilled out or some sort of top-hat spacer arrangement. £40 inc post. 
  
• *SOLD* EBC FA252 HH front brake pads.
  
• *SOLD* Full set of stainless steel pistons to suit front blue-spot calipers.
  
• *SOLD* Yam R1 5jj gear shift. Much quicker / smoother gear changes.
  
• *SOLD* Head bearing adjuster.
  
• *SOLD* R1/R6 radial master cylinder with full length & short brake lever
  
• *SOLD* Beamtech LED headlight bulbs.
  
• *SOLD* Full Exup valve
  

So following on my very old Clutch squeelling thread, does anyone know if the clutch basket on the FZ1 has been updated to provide better oil flow to the friction plates..?

So I have been going through his FZ1 videos and then came across a colab vlog with TeaPot1, very amusing -

The issue of connecting lots of electrical items to the bike has effected all of us at one point other another, and when there is more than 2 its becomes a mess of ring terminals around the battery. Enter the Healtch Thunderbox, and here is a video explaining in detail -

Hi guys I've looked about and seen this issue seems to be quite common. I was on the way home on the motorway the other day and lost all drive, before that the home was making like a buzzing noise which I guess was that.

Now the garage has had a look at it and told me the thread is fucked. He has had to order a 17mm and 16mm tap/die, 17mm being from China as he said it's hard to find so I'll have to wait a month before I will know if it can be fixed. If the 17mm doesn't work he is gonna try and go down a size to the 16mm.

Other than that what are my options? Bike has done 36k and I'm surprised this has happened as it's not that many miles and I'd expect better from Yamaha. This also makes me not want to buy another Fazer incase it happens again,which is a shame because they are sick bikes.

If what he is trying doesn't work what should I do with the bike? Now I need to try and find a new used bike asap for work

I picked up a MT09 today. So after about ten years of membership I final own a Yamaha.
