Guys,
This winter I am going to throw some money at a suspension upgrade for both ends of my '05 Fazer thou.  I have already owned the bike for five years and expect to have it for many more so don't mind making a reasonable investment in the improvements.  So, the question I have for you is Maxton or K-Tech?  Most of my riding of the Fazer is solo, road use only, and I would describe my riding as 'progressive'.  (I am more than competent but far from a WSB hero.  I'm sure you get my drift)
Opinions please     

Just been on Compare The Market to get a quote for my car as the insurance is due next month and got a reasonable quote so I thought I would see what it costs to add my eldest to the policy. He is 18 in December and passed his test at the begining of August so knew it would add a bit to the policy price but wasnt prepared for what they quoted.

Cheapest of the three that would quote - £15,000!
Most expensive of the three?? £45,000!!!

Hi folks


New member just saying ello to all 


Been a keen biker all my days, Recently had to find something a lot lighter and user friendly than the old Hinckley trumpets i've been used to  blasting around on...Hence the Fazer


At first i thought it was a downgrade as much as a downsize, but i've gladly been proven wrong with the little Fazer 600
Its a cracking little bike that does everything my old bikes did, but with half the effort and 2 thirds of the fuel costs  :eek


I,m based in South east london and am interested in going on ride outs, meets etc and getting to know new folks


Cheers all...Jim aka hitop

just thought i would brag about recieving new Hellbrake lines, piston seals and mastyer cylinder kit today :b  parts from WEMOTO and YAMBITS all supplied quickly without incident, well we all like to moan when it goes bad so just thought i would mention good service :lol :evil

Hi all, so my fazer has had a noisy, clackety cam chain for aaages but out of the blue decided to quiten up on the way back from Assen BSB. Thing is, now I notice a relatively loud tapping noise coming from the head which rises and falls with engine revs in a similar way that the cam chain rattle would. Now I know that when valve clearance wear they become tighter and therefore less noisy, but can it cause the bucket/shim/cam lobe to make a rattle?? It is definately NOT cam chain and does quieten down significantly when warmed...any ideas foccers?

Hi Folks,

Wurzel's the name from North Somerset.
Been a Harley/Buell rider for years now, but buckled under pressure from Jap riders.
So picking up my Fazer 1000 next week,
Looking forward to it, should be a little different compared to my Dyna 

Someone commented that with such a low post count "who is he" Well Im back, for a while at least. Ive had a look around to see whats going on now. Frazer has done a grand job of holding it all together. There are probably about 50 big posters missing. But I know they are still lurking in the wings as im told on Facebook that they still look but dont comment. The site is still fantastic for the information thats supplied. Lum who evidently no longer frequents this site, put together all the info on hot poop. Mike GTX is the master of all technical issues. Devilsyam, the King of bling . One thing this site was really good at apart from having some great arguements was the reality stuff. getting people together for bike meets. just meeting up mid week with some like minded guys that lived resonably close. Or some of the great weekends. I know the Spring Meet is still going, thanks to the eforts off Moff. but this year the Frolic took a dive and the summer meet has dissapeared. The Fazer is a fantastic bike, whether its an old one or the lastest 800. Its a style of bike, a riders bike. We need to embrace this site more, we need to get more involved, the lurkers need to come back again. I see some of the enthusiasm of new members. lets see if we all pull together, lets bring back its former glory. Comment if you want my shoulders are broad.

Just bought me a 1994 Foxeye Exup1000, the Grandaddy of the Fazer and R1.

Will be looking for any bits for such that you lot might have out there, donations kindly accepted.  :lol

Noticed this in case folk were looking for spare parts :
