I thought I would put up a pic of my Fazer1000, after a good wash. Black Widow end can, Pazzo levers, braided lines, undertray, crash Bungs, small screen and Rizoma bar end mirrors, 6000 miles and one previous owner.

I really thought going from a tdm900 (tractor) motor vibrations would be at a minimum but hands and bum is buzzing after a while.
Its absolute worse in the front but i cant really feel any vibrations in the tank.


Have you ever had front end shatter on these forks? Need to see if i can dial it better but any tips!
Otherwise ill have to chuck the heated grips and fill the fatbar with lead and heavy bar ends as i did on the trix....


Happy weekend folks & others

Happy St Georges day, proud to be English. Before any one bleats I am not at all racist just proud of my country of birth.

Is it just me or does this seem a bit over priced?

I bought an MT09 last year.

Hi, actually joined this group back in 2018 but have never posted anything. Went for the Fazer 1000 as by all accounts it's a great all round motorcycle.
Previously had a Triumph 955i sprint but needed a change and needed a bike that could handle 2 up touring when required. She's a blue 04 and came with full givi luggage.
Due to family circumstances she never got much use last year so now trying to do all the wee jobs to get her working right (Suspension/clocks/screens/etc - the usual)
See you around,
Kev

Hi Guys, I've seen some fairing screw kits on Ebay for various bikes and I need some replacement screws for my 2007 FZ1-S so I wondered if anyone has come across these complete kits any where?
I can't seem to find one on Ebay for the right year of FZ1-S

Hi,
Need advice on the subject. I think the chain on my Fazer is an original one as it got DID 50VN7 stamped on the link. Bike has done 17k miles.I'm pretty sure chain needs changning. It's lost some o-rings and mesures more than 152mm between 10 links (manual says max is 150mm).Front sprocket has plastic/rubber bits missing all over but the teeth are OK, that probably needs changing as well.Rear looks fine, no excessive wear to teeth.
Quesion is, will new 530 chain fit properly on original sprocket? Is this 50NV7 different size or is it just called different due to age? I can't seem to find any info on it.

So, today we had 18-19 degrees out and i did a 30 min inspired run after work. When stopping at home temp was 103 and both fans went on when cycling the ign.
Where are your temps...?? I´m contemplating that the Lars MAP is to lean with a full system hence the high temp....!?

This is just an idea but has anyone done some sort of checklist for checking certain parts of the bike at either time or mileage intervals for us "Novices" ?


Also what about general checks before and after a ride out?


Might be useful and safe for those of us that are "not sure"
