I have had this bike for around 12 months since passing my big bike test last year.


It has been an excellent starter big bike being quick and economical with a commanding riding position (more about this later). I serviced it in April ready for the summer season so new oil and filter and fresh plugs. It was MOT'd last month and went through with no advisories. I replaced both tyres about 800 miles ago with Bridgestone Battlax BT023 which transformed the bike tbh - it stopped the squirming about on the tyres that it seemed to do on the BT021's previously fitted.


The bike has some desirable mods which make riding it and keeping it clean that bit easier: Oxford heated grips, carbon Pyramid rear hugger, fenda extenda, double bubble screen, Givi rear rack and plate (will be keeping the topbox) a belly pan which shows signs of light scuffs on both sides (not dropped whilst I have had the bike!). Stainless radiator cover. I removed the downpipes in April when I serviced the bike and wire brushed them, then painted them with VHT black.


So why am I selling it? I am now doing about 50 miles per day and I am finding it aggravates my back problem - I have bought some Renthal 758's (£30) and stainless bar ends (£25) to try and get into a different position but still find that my back is getting twinges.


I have tried my cousins VFR and found this suited my back much better so I am going to look for one of those. I think it is a combination of my frame and my back issue that is causing the discomfort. A mate has a Fazer and has ridden it daily for about 6 years with no back problems at all.


Anyway, the bike is red and black and looks nice and presentable when cleaned although it does have the usual marks you would expect from a 14 year old bike. The wheels are very tidy (I saw a few with chipped/bubbling paint when I looked for this one).
Just under 19,000 miles which is backed by a wad of MOT's and some history from previous owners of which there have only been three.
I get around 53 mpg commuting which includes B roads, a stretch of dual carriageway and about 4-5 miles in the city (Nottingham)


The bike goes, corners and stops well and it very trustworthy for a new rider.


I can talk about a deal if you are interested as I would like £1,300 as it stands or I can remove the bars, screen and rack and sell for £1,200. The tax runs out at the end of this month but I could tax at cost for a buyer (£55).


At this price I don't see how you could lose money on this as a first bike if you run it for a year and sell it next spring or you could keep it an it will go on for years (I have seen Fazers with 90k on them!)


Drop me a PM or call me on 07813 847812.

just tried fitting a Hyperpro steering damper and found it wont fit - the piston rod makes contact with the flat handlebars as you turn left. Question: is there a mounting kit that sits lower than the one pictured (there's plenty of room i think - the one supplied was the Hyperpro SD Mounting Kit) or is the only solution higher bars?

or only turning right... (thought I'd get that in, saving you the agg.)

cheers!

Hi all,  I'm about 600 miles into my return to biking after 15 years off, Loving it, but still settling in.  I have good confidence in the dry, but I'm really struggling when the roads are wet.  I know it's all in my head, and that I could probably ride to almost the same level as I do in the dry, but when it comes to it I find myself slowing too much and not leaning properly into the corners.  It just doesn't feel right.


Any tips on how I can get over this, and start riding properly whatever the road condition?

My biek has now stood in my garage since june last year, and it's looking likely it'll still be there in spring 2013. I don't hvae any inclination to mot it for this season with the weather being so pants. So, the question is, what sort of damage could it be doing? I think there's a bit of fuel in there, but probably not much. Ta.

get very old emulsified oil out of an engine (without dismantling the motor!!)
it's been sat there for @2 years waiting for me to get a round tuit.
drained the oil and basic gunk out, but there is a perma layer of gunk on the bottom of the crankcases.
i've put a litre of petrol in there and sloshed it about a bit. any other ideas?

For what seems for-ever I've had orange (formally freeserve) as my home page. It seemed to have a good mix of news/sport/weather etc etc.
But now the landing page is just fekkin mobile phones so it's goodbye to them.

Any suggestions for an interesting home page?

Hi Fellow Foccers... I'm still mucking the dealer(s) about in the search for my adventure style bike, so my excellent Fazer is still available. Now in MCN at £3250 without the extra goodies (see below). I can't see how the price is too high as all my research shows that private sale prices are no lower for the year and mileage.


So while I'm still haggling with dealers (trade-in offer of £3000) for my bike without some of the 'extras' I've fitted, I thought I'd let you know this lovely bike is still available.
So..for £3000 cash no messing the bike is available as follows:

• Tax to end Feb 2013 MoT to 28 April 2013
  
• Very good condition overall. Dealer said "Doesn't look like a 20k bike, it's so tidy!"
  
• Good Avons front and Back - front only done 1000 miles from new
  
• Heated Grips (new this year)
  
• Belly Pan and Hugger paint matched
  
• Full Service History
  
• Books, Keys all present
  
• Meta Alarm with fob
  
• Chain and sprockets good - I lube after every ride
  
• LICS gelled seat rider area only.
  

• Maxton 'top spec' rear shock and lower links (bones) done 5k miles from new - cost over £700 new all in
  
• Fabbri dark smoke tinted double bubble screen
  
• M&P Lowered 'touring' footpegs (have rubber inserts) which move pegs back and down about 25mm
  
• Baglux tank cover colour matched silver/grey with Fazer logo
  
• Baglux tank bag to fit.

I've just come from the yamaha shop,asked for a price for a backbox and rack fitted.He said both around the £300 mark and i'm better off going for the yamaha, as its roughly the same and alot less work to fit.what do you's reckon?Thanks.

I have a lovely condition but resculpted lowered seat on my Gen1 1000 (2002) My bike's done 32k miles.


I want a lovely condition but standard height seat from your Gen1 1000 (don't care about year as long as it fits!)
I'm 5'11" but longer in the leg and my feet are way too planted on the ground with this seat.
I've done the shorter dog bones/increased ride height thing but my riding position still feels too low down. My previous Gen 1 had the standard seat and the difference is noticeable.


Whoever's done the reshaping has done a cracking job. The original cover has been used and the visual difference is not obvious unless you're looking for it. It took me a good 6 weeks to work out what was causing the difference between the new and the old bike's ride.
It is still just as comfortable as the standard if not more so as it is flatter with no angled edges.
So if you're tippy toeing around when at the lights and don't want to mess with lowering kits we could help each other out.


I'm in Crewe, Cheshire but happy to have a ride out to come to yours or meet halfway within reason.


DON'T PANIC! If you reply, I'm not expecting a done deal. We could swap, have a test ride, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then, if we are both happy, a straight swap with no cash either way would be perfect.


Here's a picture of mine...... and I'd prefer to see yours before we meet 
Simon
