  Breaking a 2003 FZS1000 Fazer if anyone is interested in any parts ?
Posted by: Reaper - 10-03-20, 12:41 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (30)

Just brought a 2003 accident damaged Gen1 Fazer 1000 as I needed various bits for my bike and this seemed the cheapest option.
Fairing is beyond repair and I've taken the front brake calipers and exup valve for mine so far.


Headlight is all intact and appears in good condition as does switch gear, engine, carbs, etc.
So if anyone is after anything in particular drop me a message and I'll give you a price on what ever parts your looking for ?


For going to be stripping it over the next week or two and then list the bits on Ebay.
Obviously happy to offer you guys first refusal and a much cheaper rate than what will be going on Ebay.

  Rear disk bolts - torque setting
Posted by: teecee90 - 09-03-20, 09:34 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (4)

Can anyone clarify the correct torque settings for the rear disk bolts? The service manual has contradictory information on this (not for the first time). On page 4-11 it shows 18 Nm, but on p 2-22 it says 23 Nm. I've just put new disks on and torqued to 18 Nm but am now worried they may not be tight enough. Rear bolts are M8 and front bolts are M6, so makes sense that the rear should be tighter.


Really don't want to have to take the bolts out and do it again - they are loctited in.  :'(

  Can't buy one of these any more ...

... well actually you can.


Akrapovic titanium oval end can with stainless steel link pipe.  The latter is very rare as Akrapovic stopped making them some years ago.  Accepts all 60 mm outlet cans.

  Akrapovic Titanium Oval Can & Link Pipe - Fazer FZS1000
Posted by: Falcon 269 - 08-03-20, 01:03 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (2)

As my Fazer 1000 is up for sale, the rare Akrapovic titanium end can and link pipe are up for sale.  The link pipe is impossible to buy from Akrapovic these days as they discontinued the line some years ago.


Supplied with Akrapovic retention springs, carbon clamp and stainless bolt. 


Accepts all end cans with 60mm internal diameter.

Total weight of the can and link pipe is less than 2 1/2 kgs, lighter than any other option on the market.  Both are in excellent condition.


£230 plus £15 P&P.

  I'm back!
Posted by: RedClive - 07-03-20, 05:54 PM - Forum: FZ6 / Fazer - Replies (3)

Hi.  I originally joined FOCU around 2006 and went on Aberdare and Spring Meets a couple of times plus track days at Llandow.  I kept that well loved FZS600 until a year or so ago, having taken to an FZS1000.  These days I do less riding and more local stuff and the FZS1000 is a bit big for that. 


I've now come across a great condition FZ6 which I pick up tomorrow.  Yes, a 16 year old bike and I'm quite excited about it!  I do go to the Bike Show at Birmingham NEC, but there is nothing newer I really fancy owning.  I've ridden a few things but still love Fazer 600s.  So, I shall be looking forward to looking more on the site.  No big mods planned, but a good service, headlamps and exhaust (less of it!) will be the priorities!  All the best, Clive.


Not sure if it is possible or how to add photos so here is a link to me and the bikes:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/LDpPCvAHroir5mCe6

Anyone who have any experience with K-teck fork springs?

  Gen 1 Refurb? Or Replace?
Posted by: SkidT - 07-03-20, 11:59 AM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (26)

Greetings all,


I’m hoping for a bit of constructive advice from the collective please? I know a few of you have had this dilemma previously and wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts about how you resolved it and whether, in hind sight, you feel that you made the right choice.


Had my Gen1 (3rd over the years) for about eight years now. Had some of the best mods done, Ohlins front and rear, Full Monty, etc. its been a cracking bike and every time I ride it, I come away feeling it’s such a fantastic allrounder and so versatile.


I’ve been pondering recently over a more modern replacement again. (It’s a biannual cycle ?). I tried the MT10 in 2018 and it wasn’t for me, a year and a pro lapsed disc later. [size=78%]Been looking at lots of things, Speed Triple, Street Triple, Speed Twin, XSR900, MT09 but, to be honest, there’s nothing that REALLY floats my boat. Particularly after I’ve looked at the cost to change[/size][/size][size=78%]. I should add that Im lucky enough to also have a BMW Gs12.[/size]
[/size]
Unfortunately, over the years, the ravages of time, all year round use, British climate and my less than perfect cleaning regime, have taken their toll on the Fazer. A couple of years back, I unfortunately dropped it on some black ice over the winter. This left some scuffs and minor cracks on the fairing / nose cone. The worst part by far, is the engine paint.


Sooo.......


I’ve been looking around for a while online at decent condition second hand ones, to see what I would need to pay for a REALLY nice condition one.


Do I:


1. Buy a second Gen1 as above to “Keep for Best”, sunny days out etc OR
2. Spend the money getting mine refurbed / partial restoration.


I can see advantages to both options.


I would keep my current one and continue to use it as a winter / poor weather ride, if it was option one. I wouldn’t get a great deal of money back from it I don’t think, unless I stripped it back to basics and sold on the extras.I could always take it on the odd track day without any great worry if I did end up dropping it again.


Anyone gone down the refurb / resto route, paying to have it done (as I would)? Appreciate any feedback on costs involved if you have?


Any thoughts please from those that have been there and done either option?


Cheers


Skidt

  Ever ride alone?
Posted by: roxburd - 06-03-20, 08:32 PM - Forum: General - Replies (10)

Ever thought what would happen if you ended up in a ditch unconscious out of sight?


Ha! Yeah, cheerful thought, huh? I was watching Emergency Helicopter Medics or something similar recently and an old fella did exactly that - he was there for four hours, I think it was, before he was found.


Wouldn't it be cool if you phone noticed and texted your exact location to summon help?


Anyway, I wrote this Android app for the Bloodrunners to automate controller messaging and stuff and I've extended it to do that - if you turn the tracker on it will monitor your location and if you're stationary for five minutes it will alert you to ask if you're OK. It'll ask again every minute for five minutes. If you don't respond it will text your exact location to the number you've set up.


Anyway, like I said, it's mainly for Bloodrunners but if anyone wanted to try it our for me that would be VERY helpful. It's very hard to test because every device (and GPS chip-set) behaves so differently - different accuracy, timings, reliability.


If you fancy giving it a go please do - it's called Bloodriders and it's on the app store at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai....ridersapp


Just one ask from me - please let me know how you get on with it, GOOD OR BAD. Like I said, it's very difficult to test. I've tested it really just on one phone so I have no idea how well it will run on others.


If you like it post a review and tell your mates.


If you hate it tell me about it ;-)


Cheers!
Dave
