As my poor baby Fazer is a write off, I have a bunch of spares kicking around gathering dust. They were removed to make way for upgraded parts just weeks before the crash.
The parts are :
Standard Bars and / or bar weights
Front red mudguard ( drilled to accept a fender extender thing)
Standard steel pipes, a few rust spits but very good condition.
A rear panel in red, a few scuffs but a good replacement if yours is damaged.
I have no doubt got tonnes more but at the moment this is all I can find, I have a centre stand somewhere too.
Pictures to follow and any offers considered.
Collection preferred but I can arrange courier etc obviously.
Cheers all,
Ben
I did spray some brake cleaner in there to clean the grime off pistons before pushing them back in.
But I didn't use any copper grease because I was nervous of using grease near the brakes, and thought I could more easily add later if required than remove.
Any advice? What should I be looking for? Is it just a matter of taking pads out again and cleaning thoroughly?
The best VFR in the best colour (in my opinion) and the last carb model before it went jerky fuel injection. 6,500 genuine miles with all old MOTs to prove mileage. Only 1 previous owner, an ex-work colleague who bought brand new in 1997 and only put 3,800 miles on it. Since owning I have chained all the brake fluid with new putoline DOT 4.0, changed the coolant and flushed out and replaced with putoline’s finest pre-mixed coolant. The bike has a recent oil change 700 miles ago (Motorex semi-synth) and genuine Honda oil filter. The previous oil and filter change by me was only 1,500 miles previous at 4,300 miles. I installed a brand new scorpion high level stainless pipe with removable baffle, although I’ve never had the baffle in as it sounds so gorgeous.
The bike also benefits from an upgraded rectifier with heat-sink (very common problem) and recent quality gel battery.
I’m meticulous about my bikes and I’ve looked after it very well. It is in overall fantastic condition as you would expect from a 6,500 mileage bike. It has a few scratches here and there, but as to be expected from a 15 year old bike, so please don’t expect a new bike. But generally it’s in fantastic condition with that gorgeous deeply coated Honda red paint. The exhaust down-pipes/collectors are absolutely solid.
The VFR comes with the original toolkit, passenger grab rails, original exhaust and two keys in total, plus the owners manual and service history/warranty manual (8 Honda main dealer stamps in 4,000 miles!). Also datatagged with all the paperwork.
The bike handles superbly courtesy of the legendary VFR stability and a rear jack-up kit. This has sharpened the steering up nicely, but the bike is still just as stable. The original linkage plates are included and can be converted back to standard in 15mins. When I added the kit, I cleaned up the linkage bearings and re-greased, although to be honest, they were as good as new. The brakes are great and as good as new and all pistons freely move. The bike rides brilliantly and everything feels crisp.
The bike has always been stored cleaned, under a breathable cover in a garage and on an optimate for the last 5 years.
Although the bike has low mileage, it is regularly run so no gummed up carbs or other gremlins. It is even stored with fuel stabiliser over the winter months and run for a while prior to this so the carbs are filled. It flew through the MOT in June, so has nearly a years MOT. Currently SORNed. Was taxed until Sept 2012.
£2600.
I'm genuinely never disappointed after I get on this after the Fazer thou.
Hi all I have got the kit on but I am a tad confused with the float height adjustment. I have measured at many angles but do not seem to get the default height value. Is it a case of having the carb propped at the correct angle? I have looked over as many guides as I can find but still none the wiser.
any help would be very appreciated.
Hi everyone,have any of you good people some advice on easy removal of the starter motor on a fz6? Looking through the frame behind the block looks rather lacking in space.Do I need a degree in gynaecology to perform this task? Thankyou in advance BRIZZ
