Just saying hello,I have not got a bike other than a cx500 that is a bit in pieces so have decided to get a fazer soon. I have not passed test yet but will do it on the fazer when I get it.I have found info on forums to be ace with the cx so thought I would hang around this one and get some good info and maybe give some advice (I am an engineer)I look forward to some bits and bobs on here.

Hi folks

My pal Les has fallen on hard times and he is having to sell his bike lift.

It is posted on Gumtree and his number is attached, don't email the ad poster because its his son's friend who posted it as Les can get as far as opening a webpage with a computer.

I can vouch for him and the lift.

It was bought for £350 at the Scottish Bike Show at Ingliston in 2011 and has been kept in a lock up and was rarely used given when it was bought. The lock up is over a mile from his flat and he doesn't have a car so having had a hip replacement a while back he was rarely able to get to the lock up and use it. Having said that, there are a couple of nicks on it but nothing that is going to affect the workings of it. Due to lack of use it is fairly clean as well.

It lifts to around 3 feet high and is great for all types of bike.

If i had my own house and a garage i would be buying it but that will be a while away for me and he's unemployed so it has to go ASAP

Here's a linky

£250 or nearest. Obviously this will be a pick up job, unless you could arrange courier or some alternative to get it where you need it to go.

His number is on there so give him a buzz.

Many thanks

The rear foot rest mounts and engine end casings are faded and lacquer peeling on both my bikes , Thinking of taking the bits to a local alloy wheel refurbisher . probs a winter project. Any input appreciated

Those cheeky buggers at Bolton Motorcyle Workshops Russ & Vicky, were taking the pi$$ out of me because I asked them to fit a gold chain and sprocket. Then they posted an enhanced photo of my bike on their webpages.


Mmmmm, I like it  :lol

Just got my 04 Fazer1000 back from Portugal.  Rear wheel bearings collapsed 160 miles north of Faro.  Thank god for insurance.  RAC provided hire car when it became clear that the parts could take some time to arrive.  So Moto Clube de Faro Rally was done in a Fiat Punto.  Headed back to Estremoz after the rally to pick up the bike only to be told it had taken them a week to obtain the wrong part.  Flown home by RAC and bike was repatriated earlier this week.  New bearings, spacers and dust seals fitted and its good to go.  Still a fantastic bike though.

Regards Shaun

Off my 2002 FZS 1000 Fazer
I have for sale the following items which I thought I'd offer here before fleabay gets em


Chrome lightweight End Can (make unknown) £50
MRA flip screen £50 good condition
Rack £25 bit of bubbling of rust coming through
GIVI plate £25 good condition
GIVI topbox £150 takes two helmets and is as new (cost me £239)


All prices will need postage adding, which my good lady will sort as and when because I'm working away at the moment.  Cash on Collection would be ok if you can get 15 miles north of Lincoln.




I no longer have the bike :-( miss it a great deal but will buy another probably in a few years when I can afford one again...I know you all know but just in case someone hasn't cottened on just yet...There is NOTHING on earth that comes close to the Fazer Thou

Standard can, was on bike from new till a few years ago (done about 11k). been sat in my loft since....the silencer that is, not me.

Has a really small graze.

£20

Well, took a ride out to Matlock Bath yesterday, did the usual checks on oil / water / brake fluid / lights etc etc and inflated the tyres to recommended pressure (36/42 psi for me)

Was about to go out today and thought even though it's only been 24 hours that I should check them again, rear showed 5psi!!!!! I thought my gauge was busted until I pressed the tyre................... F**K!!!!, nail right in the middle of the tread, what an absolute b*****d....


Decided then to check my front pressures just in case, had hung my helmet on the throttle side of the bike "just for a minute" while doing the pressures, moved the bars ever so slightly and bang, down it went....... right on the crown, scratched all the paint and visor. Not happy.




Costs - New tyres (going for a matching pair as don't fancy mixed rubber - BT023 - £250 fitted.
