Hey guys, i recently purchased a hornet 900cc but my circumstances have changed and i really need a faired bike for my motorway commute.


my bike :


It has a centre stand, arrow twin exhausts, heated grips, r&g bungs, scottoiler and hideous luminous yellow rim rape and a hideous scotland tank pad, moted until aprilThese pics are from the ad i purchased it from, I've only had it a few weeks but 30 miles each way in scottish winds is brutal on a naked bike.May even sell it on if i get what i paid for it at £2200


Looking for a good condition fz6, fz1 or sv650


Thanks

The bike is a 2005, 11k, all standard, Ivanised by Falcon, mint condition and has been regularly serviced etc.

Starts fine when cold, but once warm even after a short run I have give it a handfull of throttle while its catching/trying and then after a second of that its catches properly and then brum brum etc.  If kill the engine and go to start it again it starts perfectly as it would when cold. I had this very same issue to the same or lesser degree on all my previous fzs1000's, so it could be just a case of living with it. But I'm kinda getting fed up with it and would like to get to bottom of it if possible.

Is there anything out of the ordinary that you lot can think of other than servicing the carbs..?

Well done fella

Who do you use please people?

Carb rubbers look a bit cracked, doubt they've gone through but never know until I remove them. So going to look into price of replacements.

I've just got the Fazer, want some pics / advice for lowering and probably changing the bars for something less high and turned back at the ends please.

I am used to R1s and the like, but I think the best height of bars on any bike I've had was my ZX9R.

Anyone help me out with advice on how to cheaply lower the bars with different spacers from another make/type of bike?

Have looked at some old posts about certain Renthal bars which is interesting too, but all I can find are spacer to LIFT the bars and not lower....

Cheers.

Hi all, just joined to glean some knowledge and have a browse of your bikes etc.

I have had about 20 bikes in the past 6 years, and have just settled on a Gen 1 Fazer 1000, 2001 model.
It has 20k on the clock, mainly standard apart from an end can. Only bought it yesterday, seems fine, brakes are crap,  :eek  suspension settings still standard  :eek  but it goes like stink and is very easy to ride, quite a compliment seeing as I only sold a 2003 R1 on Friday.

If anyone else is from Kent and has a slightly modded Fazer, I'd love to meet up at some point for a chat and a ride. I am not far (enough) from Dover... I am the wrong side of 35 too! 

Cheers and hello again.

Went on short local ride yesterday (no time as usual) and back brake was stuck on with caliper smoking! Left to cool and managed to limp home using front brake (scary). Jet washed her the week prior so probably my own stupid fault. Any ideas on how to fix/remedy? :\
Thanks.

is the gear lever rubbers on the fz6 same as xj900,trx850,xj600,xjr1200,fjr1300 if so i can get them off fleabay as needed soon for the bike :lol

Theres  a guy at work selling an 09 R1 and Im seriously thinking about buying it to raz around on  sunny days for a couple of hours  whilst still using the fazer for long distances, two up, touring, town work, all day stuff.

Is there enough differnce to consider it???
