Hi, just brought my self another bike and managed to pick up a 1999 Fazer which I quite like as it's more upright that the old XJ600S I had a while back.

I noticed that someone had done the headlight Mod on it or so I thought, not exactly sure what they have done so hoping someone can give me some advice as at first it seemed they had done the Mod on here until I lifted the tank. Started off fine, apart from not working a single Blue wire covered with a Black sheath off the headlight connector so traced it back to inside a little black box under the front of the tank with a load of other connectors in there.

Everything seemed fine, until it came out the other side and was now a Red wire and a Blue wire in the original PVC sleeving so I traced the Red wire back inside the box and found that it had been spliced onto a 3 wire Brown connector. The wires were Blue/Black Stripe, Blue and Red/Yellow Stripe and the Red wire had been spliced and soldered onto the Blue/Black Stripe wire.



The Blue wire actually goes direct from the headlight to a little black unit under the left side panel, the Red wire only comes in once you get to the black box at the front of the tank but also goes to this little black unit under the side panel then both wires connect directly to the battery + and - terminals.



Be grateful for any advice if it is safe to remove this lot as I want the bike as it came out the factory as I tend to just use bulbs that have 100% extra brightness, plus some insurance companies won't pay out if there is a claim and the wiring has been altered unless it's a shop purchased product which this isn't.

The thing I want to know most is what exactly had that Red wire been spliced into as I don't have a wiring diagram so thought some one might know, if it's safe I will snip the red wire off and just tape up the soldered section of wire then remove the red and Blue wire completely. As it is the Mod doesn't work so makes me wonder what exactly they wired it into as everything works fine apart from that.

Only other question is when I lifted the tank the 2 pipes came off, does it matter which one goes on which side as I just put them back, one had a slight bit of rust so I put the pipe that had some residue of rust back on that one. Oh one last thing take it the petrol tap is just an on/off position at the back of the tank? These are the pipes.



Hope I haven't put any one into a coma reading this, just be grateful for any advice especially on removing the headlight Mod and what that Red wire has been spliced into as I don't see the point in having things just wired up that leave me sat there wondering what they are doing as it's not operating what it is supposed too.  :rolleyes

Thanks

Finally got around to fitting the "Sports" version of Oxford's Hotgrips today. They call them "Sports" basically because the profile of the grips is quite low as opposed to the relatively chunky regular ones.


Nice digital switchgear and nice and toasty for the coming Autumn and Winter  :lol .  Very simple to install. I placed the controller in a void in front of the battery so as not to lose any underseat space.

JSR RACING DESIGNS used my bike to design and manufacture some Crash Bungs and some Fork Protectors. They came over today with the finished products and installed them. They're not R&G, but then they're not £75 either!!


I don't expect any crash bungs to save my bike if the worst was to happen, but they can certainly save your crankcases and alternator covers if you have a slow-speed drop. They should have them up on their eBay shop pretty soon.

Dear all,

I have had to sell the Fazer due to an imminent move to Hong Kong. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help with may fazer problems, mods and questions. Great site to be involved in with lots of helpful folks. I fancy getting a fazer in Hong Kong so there maybe some more questions along the way.

Cheers dudes.

So mother of god, that's hard to get out of the frame. Can anyone who's done it give me some pointers? I'm well stuck, and of course it's not something I can drop in at the shop.

The bottom one I've got, as there are some big groves scored into the frame so I can get a purchase behind it with my makeshift drift.

I'm going to go down to my local general purpose tool shop and see if they can sell me something more suitable to use as a drift... any good tips on what's best to use? Bend it, file it sharp along one edge etc? Would a heat gun at the top help?

How about if I just drilled through the damn thing? This would make it easy to flip off, but of course I'd go into the frame behind. Would this have safety and handling implications?

Thanks if you can help. I'm having a bit of a tilt at the moment, I thought it would just come straight off and I've been at it for a good 3 hours. I've done it on my little FZR before and they just fall off, I don't get why they have to be so tight - and so f**king inaccessible - on the fazer 

im selling my mint condition E460 top box. It can fit two helmets in and has a document holder inside the lid. the only marks on it are on the bottom from where it clicks into the plate.

£90
