I am on the border of Wales and enjoy the playground it is.


So the south and mid Wales riders should have a get together,perhaps the Brecon Beacons on any Sunday.


What do you think, who's up for a spin to Aber?

Hi fellas,
Just sold my Blade and off we go - 07 Fazer. I commute everyday so if you see a wobbling around with a monkey posture - that might be me.
See y'all around.

Morning guys and girls, firstly i need to appologise to the london foccers as couldnt make sunday due to the above :'(

i recently changed my front brake lines ( braided ) and piston seals, after cleaning my rear brake pistons and found they needed changing i thought i would look at the front and clean them up. on piston would not retract, i could get it to push out but really struggled to push it back in. I removed the piston cleaned everything thouroughly and yet it still is ALMOST impossible to push all the way home. it will go passed the dust seal but when it gets to the oil seal stops. so inspected again and the only thing i can see is the seal looks as if it is not seated properly but it is very hard to tell. removed seal and reseated but still looks the same as if back edge is slightly raised. anyway new seal ordered, but has anyone had this before. i have renewed master cylinder seals and all other pistons move freely.
also how much pressure would you expect to use to push the piston back?????

thanks in advance

Hi All,


I'm new to Fazer's but not to biking, have owned my Fazer for 3 months and loved every second. Anyway i am after a seat cowl, i have looked high and low and just cannot find anywhere that is selling them anymore, i've seen a post on here that was selling a blue one for £40 but that was back in January so i'm guessing its been sold.


Is anyone selling one? Colour doesn't matter, would like it to be in ok condition, no cracked or dented, as for marks it doesn't matter as i shall repaint it


Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is just me, but when I try and ride quicker than usual on my bike it can feel really twitchy at the rear, especially on high speed left hand bends or roundabouts where I am leaning left. It also happens on acceleration after the roundabout if I am still slightly leaning to the left. Obviously its pretty unnerving when it does this. It's usually near the start of the ride, but I do allow quite a lot of time for tyres, engine, breaks etc to warm up properly before I start to give it some. I do have a leaking left front fork which I am replacing soon fingers crossed, could that be it? My tyres are Dunlop Sportmax front and rear if that has anything to do with it? I'll be getting BT023'S next time I think. Also, I have stock suspension by the looks of it and weigh just over 13 stone in gear. Any help or similar experiences would be great thanks.

I know this has been asked before, but i cant find it on the search. Can you mix semi sinth and full sinth. Brought fully by mistske, and still got some semi, so would be enough mixed. Thanks.

What length are the early Fazer 600's shock linkage dogbones from centre to centre of boltholes? I have the 1000 and was wondering if they were the same length or different.

If not, dependant on length they could be used to raise or lower the back-end (or the 1000 dog-bones could instead be used on the 600?)

Hi I am Neil I live in West Sussex had a Fazer 1000 for a few years now I found my way here from a link posted on the Yamaha Diversion Club, I still frequent their pages even though I have moved on from my Divi & thought I might aswell find out what goes on in the online Fazer world

This is a brief pictorial history of my biking so far.

I first came of a bike 1 month before I was born my dad had just got a Cotton trials bike and my mum wanted a go not realizing it was so low geared she wheelied up the road and came of the back about a month later I appeared.
Then I vaguely remember being taken out in a big sidecar with my sister possibly and my cousins don't know whose that was.
Next bank holiday Brighton 1965 on the back of my dads BSA C15 we rode in and my dad took one look at what was going on and legged it back home.
When I was 14 my mum had a Honda C50 I used to take it up and down the road when they were out Until I got caught when they came back early.
A variety of old track bikes were then played with with my mates which spent more time in pieces than running.
Wow now 16 bu***r just got caught by the sixteener law maybe my mum should have bounced a little harder 16 years ago as I had  a loverly BSA Bantam lined up. So it was an NSU Quickly for me. I actually had 2 as thrashing the nuts of them made then rather unreliable.


Not Mine but had one just like it.

Also not Mine but had one just like This to.

Seventeen areal bike this time a Suzuki TS90.

Also not Mine but had one just like This to

Ran it until the disk valves played up and as I needed a cheap bike for work I Got a CZ 175


Not mine again I passed my test on one like this.

Wanting a trail bike again I got a Suzuki TS250


Wanting to get more dirty my next bike was a Beamish Suzuki RL 250



These were basically the works bikes rebuilt locally by Beamish Motors who were the importers of all Suzuki dirt bikes at the time.

Next It was back to trailers I read a road test of the new Suzuki SP370 in MCN and went straight round to the local shop and ordered one.


fantastic bike but maybe I should have waited as th DR came out about 9 months later.

At the same time as my main bikes I had a Francis Barnet175

like this I got it as a rolling chassis and a box of bits I got it running but not complete so sold it to someone with more time and patients.

Also a Norton 250 Jubilee


not like this one mine was in a Sprite trials frame with a Sprite trials chair( could not find a picture like that ) got rid of that as i kept running over my leg with the chair.

Also had a Montessa cota 247 which I swapped my Mk2 2 Liter Triumph Vitesse for when I got a company car wonder which I worth more now.


Then no bikes but house mortgage and family.

2001 "if you want a bike why don't you buy one" that was all I needed to be told I think she was fed up with me drawling every time i saw a bike I liked.
Not having a lot of spare cash I thought an XS650 Yamaha would be a good way back in and I wanted one when they came out.


This was my Xs it got bent when I was knocked of it while crossing a yellow box junction by a car on the wrong side of the road overtaking the stationary traffic he had a witness said he was on the right side of the road I lost My first bike accident at 47.
sold it to a mate who has now got it up and running.

So I got my divi a fast green 900.


My first car was a bike??? at 18 after passing my bike test I got a bond minicar with a 250 Villiers engine in it kept it for a while till my dad said i would kill myself in it so he would teach me to drive.


like this but in racing green.



Now have Fazer 1000



New addition 2001 HD Sportster 883 Hugger



Neil

After 10 years I've finally waved goodbye to my trusty FZ600  :'(
Gone, but probably not disappeared from this board. As it's now in the (highly skilled and mechanically sensitive  :b :b ) hands of Sunny Intervals (or razgruff, for those of you who've been around here a while)
So.......what should I buy next?  Saw a new Honda Nsomething auto at the NEC and a very attractive Moto Guzzi V7 at the Excel show
The search is on  :lol
