Hi guys


I am looking for the fairing pieces that go in between the main fairing and the tank.


Can anyone tell me what they are called and maybe where I can buy some.


Cheers
Dave

fit them yourself i mean.
apart from the last pair of pirelli's (£90 new), i can't remember the last time i bought a new pair of tyres. just plopped on a strada rear with 6mm of tread for £13 delivered. usually in the summer i get a p/w set of diablos for £60 and spoon them on for the 2 days of dry weather we call summer.
am i alone in this penny pinching or do others here partake of the tyre levers?

I hope some of you Sunday riding Foccers got the bikes out today,  me, no, already organised to go to Huntingdon,Cambs, to pick up some patio doors.


I saw quite a few bikes about enjoying themselves,,foccers,,lol

Managed to get the exhaust header off today without shearing any studs off!  4 came out still attached to the nuts so have ordered 4 new studs to put in and I think I may order some brass nuts to replace the mild steel nuts.


The header appears to be stainless which has been plated?  But it looks as though it is cheap stainless and the plating is breaking down.


What have people done to give these a new lease of life?  Wire wool to get back to the stainless and polish it?  Exhaust paint?


Thanks

Down by the river yesterday and was fascinated by these various footprints.
Apart from the child's bootprint what else is there???

Hey guys,

I'm having problems with my fzs600 fazer 98 model. I went out today with a few friends with 600's for the first time (only had the bike a few weeks) and there acceleration and speed where so much better than mine (bandit 600 & 650). I had a go on the 650 and it was miles better acceleration than mine.

Because of the weather it has been the first chance for me to test out the performance properly. I decided to see on the way home how fast I could get out of it and all I could manage was 85mph it would not go any faster

I got the bike on eBay !! (I know). It's done 23k miles and I just put new down pipes on it so I know it's not been restricted from the exhaust or anything.

If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction of the cause I would really appreciate it.

Ben

Hello,


I owned a fazer 600 several years ago and I now have been thinking about buying an early Fazer1000 


I have always liked the look of them and the awesome R1 derived engine!


Are there any major problems with these bikes? I have heard that the finish can be a bit suspect and the exup valve can cause problems?


I'm only looking for models from their introduction in 2001? up to the FZ1 model can you tell me about any differences and mods between the models?


Thanks guys! 

I've just realised my MOT has run out in December [pre][/pre]

I'm getting a new bike 15th , I'm part exchanging my bike.

Now should I get it MOTed to be safe or risk driving it without one?  Till new one arrives?

What is the fine or implications if I get caught without MOT ?

**Like of total duffist, I found this info in the service manual Doh!, still don't understand the Co adjustment though **

Folks,

was wondering arounf the net and came across this thought it maybe helpful I've listed mine below for a working FZ1s, you access them by

holding down Select +Reset buttons switch on the ignition, keep holding the buttons down till Di appears on the display, then hold down the buttons again for approx 2secs to access either Di or CO, there seems a bit of discussion regarding the CO values, and there significance,
Regarding the Di codes foes anybody know what the a faulty injector or coil pack will return ?
