I've just notice the exhaust can is blowing near the front, at the bottom. I've only had the bike a month, so can't be sure if it's always done it, or if it's only just started.


On close inspection, there are 2 small (1mm) holes, one on the front end, and one underneath. Their location suggest that they might be intentional holes, (possibly for drainage?) but I'm not sure as I have no experience in this area.


Should the holes be there?  If not, what material is the original end can? Can it be repaired, or does it need replacing?

Only just got a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 and looking into security for it. Was planning a chain and lock to a clamp on the garage floor and probably a disc lock for ease when riding.
Was expecting to find plenty info out there on best type of locks and how they rate but really struggling....
I have the ride magazine test from August 2008 edition but quick frankly since they wouldn't actually recommend any of them, where do I go from here?


Any suggestions welcome either to a quality lock/chain set that's worth the cash or better still any review data which discusses the pros/cons of each set up.


BTW, scoring best on the ride test data was the OXFORD XL HARDCORE but even then it scored 9/30 and succumbed in 3 mins 20 secs without power tools...[size=78%]


Thanks in advance...[/size]

Just passed my Mod 1 & 2 tests last week, after being recommended by the trainer i've bought a 2000 'W' plate Fazer FZS600!!
WOW that things fast - only had a GS500 to train on and a Yamaha YBR125 for 2 months to gain confidence!!


Added a 12v socket to it and planning on engine crash protection bars & bungs, heated grips, tank bag and a few other bits & bobs.


Loving the bike and glad i found a owners club forum!!


Just need to find rides to tag along on now in the Barry, South Wales area????
Also, any advice and what to look for on the Fazers??

Hi, spotted this Renntec rack on ebay which says for 98 to 01 models.  Just wondering would it not fit a 2002 model also?

I have an 04 gen 1. silver storm? black engine and black tail rest silver.
due to a recent off  :'( i am trying to decide if i want to touch up the slight cosmetic damage or repair it with a good respray to OE or infact just go for a full respray and colour change.

if i go option 1 or 2 then i will keep my tank as its unmarked and great condition (apart from the tank pad that is starting to show age) but if i go option 3 and a full respray to a new colour then i dont realy want to use me great condition tank.
at that point i might be looking to do a trade with a lightly marked tank (not dented) or just buy a cheap one and throw mine on ebay. they seem to be asking big money for damaged ones on ebay right now though.

I still have to find out the costs of a fair respray, as no one ever seems to want to give me a ball park figure without knowing the exact paint scheme. which i dont know yet. i know it will vary the price but i just dont know what way to go yet, and doubt i will anytime soon as i keep changing my mind everytime a see another bike lol

I used to have a Yamaha Touring screen on my previous Gen 2 which I found was "ok" but loads of wind noise and buffeting on my lid. Much better than the standard though.
Looking for any alternatives and have seen the Givi and Puig touring screens. The Givi, whilst looking a  bit ugly, looks the most practical Anyone tried either of these?

My fience main stand to her moped has just broken if I take it off will it still go through the mot ??
