Hi help needed :eek  taking casings off to polish up and obviously need the gaskets for when they go back on, I have sourced the clutch and gen gaskets but can i buggery find the timing case gasket, Help pls  :\ :\ :\

Well the bike had a few bolt on mods when i got it, one was the Blue flame slip on so i wondered if the cat was still in there.....





And yes it was,


supposedly causing too much back pressure at higher revs, so======


now i let the cat out !!!! :lol




Also the clamp bolt was rusted solid so the bolt broke, now drilled out and a new coppergreased bolt in its place.


On the way is a 16 tooth front sprocket and a PC3  so boring autumn nights are more fun in the garage.

hi,im putting a r1 front end on my fazer 1000 gen 1,does anyone know where i can get a spacer (top hat) for the steering head spindle.thanks

I have just purchased a new scala G9 unit and when I go to use it the default language is FRENCH!

Trouble is the instructions to change the language settings are within the voice command menu which, yes you guessed it, are also in French.

Does anyone have one of these units? if so, can you tell me how to return the default languae back to English.

Merci

Just a quick question hoping someone might know the answer too. When I purchased my 1999 Fazer it had a Givi Monorack and top box with it which I only use about 5 times a year so decided I am going to take it off and just fit it back on when needed like if I am going away. Seems a lot more simple than the Givi I had fitted to my Aprilia that had more bolt on points and harder to get too but back to the question which is about the spacers on the rear footrests, will just post a picture then explain what I mean.



What I intend to do is remove the rear bolt marked with the red shape, but leave that bracket in place as it bolts on under the seat and bodywork and that's about it so presume that will be safe to do.

I have marked where the rest of the fitting is bolted too through the rear footrest and the bolt to the front has a spacer so it is the same offset as the rear fitting. The bottom of the right footrest also has the support for the exhaust which is really what this question is all about as I intend to do the following.

1. Remove the rear bolt but leave the Givi mounting bracket in place as it is bolted on under the seat/bodywork.
2. Slacken off the exhaust hanger then remove both the footrest bolts so I can remove all of the rack in one piece fully assembled.
3. Replace the footrests using the slightly longer bolts supplied with the Givi rack as I don't have the originals (I presume this should be fine as I don't know the length of the originals)
4. Re-tighten the exhaust hanger

What I really want to know is did the footrests originally bolt straight to the fitting on the frame or was there some kind of spacers/rubber fitted in between the footrests and the frame mounting so it aligned with the exhuast hanger?

I am presuming that all this will be fine as then when I want to use the rack/topbox its a 20 minute job just to refit everything where I have left the rear fitting bracket in place.
Thanks for any advice off anyone that fitted one of these themselves, I know the rear bolt being left out and the Givi mounting bracket being left in place should be fine just want to double check if there were any spacers/rubbers fitted between the frame and footrests originally so the exhaust hanger aligns and if using the Givi supplied bolts will be fine, if not anyone got any idea of the length of the originals.
