Hi, recently bought an 02 1000. Toured Cornwall and Devon a few weeks back and bike made a great tourer. Really like the perfomance and found it reasonably comfy. Running it in standard trim - it's quite pleasant to have a quiet bike for a change - my previous bike was a Harley and was tiring on a long run. All in all I'm well pleased with it and intend to hold onto it for quite a while.
Thanks
Well managed to do a oil and oil filter change today on my fazer,which was a nightmare as the front headers arnt standard and dont allow the spin on oil filter to come out [img alt=10_confused]http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/Smileys/classic/10_confused.gif[/img] so had to remove the headers which every nut was solid,so one can of wd40 sorted them and alot of care [img alt=10_confused]http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/Smileys/classic/10_confused.gif[/img]
One stud was already broken so the fazer is booked in the garage to have that tapped and re-stiuded [img alt=15_weeping]http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/Smileys/classic/15_weeping.gif[/img]
2 Reasons for the oil change.......A:The filter was badly corroded(no wonder no one wanted to change it with the headers having to come off [img alt=10_confused]http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/Smileys/classic/10_confused.gif[/img] )
B:To try and stop the clutch slipping like hell,but no joy in that,so new clutch plates need to be fitted.
Joys of biking i guess [img alt=25_coolguy]http://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk/Smileys/classic/25_coolguy.gif[/img]

Thanks for letting me post my wafflings here...it's much appreciated
Looking for some Coils to borrow while trying to find my fazers running problem,
Been thou the carbs and spark plugs. Cleaned it all.
My mechincaic suggests to try new coils because it happens at set revs which are low and often cruising speed (2000 - 4500 rpm)
The bike starts to run if like you have low revs and a high gear but does it in first on take off unless you rev the shit out of it.
So if some one has some spare coils i could borrow, if it solves it, i'll be happy to buy them but at the mo, can't and don't want to spare the money on something i know i cannot really sell again and breakers price these things randomly and just say 'from a running bike'
Hi everyone, tomorrow is going to be a great day I collect my Fazer from the shop. After looking at quite a few bikes over the years and having my CBT countless times I've taken the plunge. I'm like a kid at Christmas i just cant wait.
Opened up the clutch assembly an the offending plug had popped out of the shaft , some loctite an a little bashing with the rubber mallet see it wedged back in place nicely
Cheers mike for the extra reading material came in handy .
