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 :

I have recently passed my test and have bought a 03 fazer 600..
I have always been into bikes, motorcross was my first taste with my beloved yz250, which incidently was always a bit much for me on the track but i plodded on anyway.
A few years ago i decided to get a bike for work as running two cars was getting abit expensive, so i decided to get my cbt and buy a 125 yamaha scooter, which i traded in after a year or so and got a Derbi terra, also a 125..
My cbt ran out so i decided to take the plunge and do the direct access and that brings me upto around a month ago..
I have always been fond of these bikes (fazer) and i am looking forward to learning all there is to know about them, hopefully with the help of you guys
Thanks, Wez

My Fazer's front wheel was hit by a passing car (tore a hole in the bike cover too, bastards!) and it knocked the alignment out, so today, I was tinkering with the forks to get them back straight.

Anyway, when I was tightening the yolk bolts back up I thought I'd give dropping the forks by 10mm a go (or at least that's how much of the tube is protruding out the top yolk).

Gave it a test run and it feels completely different, holds it's line alot tighter in corners. "Feels planted" is the phrase I'd use. Not sure whether I'll keep it this way or not, I like being able to flick it around in London traffic, and the Fazer is good at that when normal.

What are the disadvantages/ risks of this set-up? Anybody have any interesting experiences with dropped forks, or can recommend a set-up that works for you?

Thanks 

Hi all what grease do I use to pack the needle bearings on the rear wheel and the spindle axle. As just taken back wheel off to get the new tyre fitted on sat

Hi all

I look likely to return to the fold over the weekend. I used to have a Fazer1000, Ivanised by the one and only, sold it about 3 years ago and bought a 1050 Tiger...great touring bike, but not 'me'. Went to live in France for a year, left it parked in the lounge most of the time, and when I came back last year I sold it.

Now looking to pick up an FZ1s at the weekend, however, I am hoping to get it in the back of my T4 campervan. Snag is that the free floorspace is only 28" wide, and this bike has the fairing panels on. So does anyone have an FZ1S with fairing panels who can tell me the widest point of the bike. The specs say 30", but I don't know if this is across the tips of the pegs.

I really am trying to avoid riding it back as the weather forecast is grim and its a long, long way!

Cheers

If anyone has a front FZS600 fairing for sale let me know. Has to be in decent condition.

Cheers

Ive had Pirellis as long as I can remember always thought them a great tyre.

When I bought my FZ6 Fazer S2 it had Maxxis supersport tyres on it and to be honest I thought I would be changing them PDQ (being a tyre snob).

However...

They have been fantastic!!!

Ive just changed the rear for a Maxxis Diamond which is the sports touring version, it was £140 fitted.

Again I think its a super tyre feels very secure wet or dry.  This has made me change my views on tyres and I would be happy to recommend Maxxis. Never thought I would be saying that!!!
