Looking for mint ohlins rear shock for gen 1 fazer 1000

While adjusting chain. '99 600
Put pressure on socket to undo rear spindle nut, upwards,  and got play in the shock mounting.


Its the lower mounting point. has a few mm of play where I can see the bolt has slack in
the mounting through the bracket and shock.


Is the lower bracket replaceable,
Is it likely to be the mounting or the shock,


sorry for the rambling description,

Hi there,
I was knocked off a while ago and the guy drove off. Another bike went and chased him down and got his plate and he's being done by the law - which makes for a refreshing change.
Anyway, he did this. Anyone know a good plastic welder / bodge it jobber at a good price. I'm in London but can go outside of if needs be.


I've looked for replacement front fairings but they are either way to pricey new or impossible to find second hand.
The bike is now a cat D and the other party's insurers paid out a wee bit - but I'd rather make it look ok than as new - the bikes got less than 20k on the clock and I have no intention of selling it. I would do the work myself but for lack of skill / time / nerve.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Starting at Shrewsbury.

SWMBO has just announced that there is sufficient funds in the piggy bank for a nice set of rubber for the new season, the bike is currently sitting on Bridgestone BT21's which were on it when I got it approx 6000 miles, I only use the bike for pleasurable weekend runs with some spirited runs through the twisties, cutting to the chase what kind of tyres are you guys running and what kind of miles are you getting out of them.

I would like to try a different suspension & tyre set up this year & am interested to hear your thoughts.Last year i jacked the bike up, went with the  stiffest setting on the rear shock & had 2 lines showing on the front shocks, the bike felt precise,turned in quickly but was a little bit jumpy & i was bounced off the seat a few times.I am aiming for a bit of speed & fun, not particularly doing any slow speed touring.Im circa 15 stone.

I got thinking about the way i corner in the car & i tend to hold wide on the corners, wait until the suspension has gone all the way over before powering out or around the corner & i quite like that bit of sponginess the suspension gives me rather than being stiff as a board on solid suspension, ive no doubt the stiff suspension is in reality better for cornering but the comfort of the soft suspension makes me feel more comfortable and thus more relaxed and feeling in control so maybe i am quicker on that type of set up.

back to bikes then, anyone got any suggestions for softening things up whilst still being able to do some spirited riding???

i was running 36psi front and 42psi rear i believe after reading the article on here somewhere about this universal tyre pressure for all bike tyres being just that but perhaps that's part of the problem.

open to suggestions,anyone of similar weight & their set ups please, apologies if it's a bit de-ja-vu.thanks  8)

Hi everyone,


My name is David. I am the very proud owner of a 2001 Gen1 1000.
Very very happy with it. Wanna do the r6 shock thing! Will a 2010 r6 shock fit? Been offered one by a friend.


Good to be here.
