Hey guys, i bought myself a little 1997 fazer 400 as my first inline 4 last week and i love it!! everything was fine until i filled it up with too much oil. I drained the oil a little bit after 1 day of use and topped it up a little. Ever since over spilling i notice the slutch slipping slightly in gear 3.

Is this a coincidence or would it be normal for a clutch to slip after over filling with engine oil?

Cheers guys

Hi all, Now summer is upon us (well, for a few days) I have been riding the little Fazer quite hard.
However, over the last few days, one or two issues became apparent when exiting corners...
1) on tight corners, upon exiting, the front lifts slightly, and feels to be 'skipping' whilst the bike is still slightly leant over
2) on smooth, fast corners/bends, the rear feels to be slipping/sliding all over the place.


I have played with preload etc, and tried adjusting the bars (got renthal 'superbike low' bars) and I've tried adjusting fork height within the yokes, to no avail.


Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any recommended modifications?

i weigh 12 stone and will be taking my bike on a track day event. i have had my forks renewed by mct. so they are good.  am i right in thinking that for the rear when i go to brands hatch. all i have to do is put spring on the hardest setting so the bike holds the track firm

does anybody have any of these for a gen 1 600? belly pan and seat cowl in any condition. ta!!!

Un-gentlemanly conduct?

Thought i'd write an email complaining about insurance re mods. 

Quote:Dear Sirs,

Recently after renewing my motorcycle insurance i noticed now you must declare any modifications to your motorcycle. It appears insurance companies are severley taking advantage of this.

For example,

An aftermarket exhaust with no power benefits over the standard manufacturers insurance companies think its acceptable to increase the price to 100% more than orginally quoted.
I have also experienced price increases for cosmetic modifications such as heated grips and bellypans which is ridiculous.

This in my eyes is extremely unfair, during renewal we are encouraged to list all modifications with the insurers whether or not they are performance increasing as in the event of a claim, the insurance will be rendered invalid due to not declaring the modifications.

In comparison to car insurance, you could have an after market exhaust fitted by quick-fit this would make no differences what so ever to your insurance premiums, in my eyes this is the exact same as aftermarket motorcycle exhaust which is based on the original manufacturers.

An insurance broker which appears to be taking advantage of this is Express Insurance.

Yours Faithfully,
Jake Bousfield.

Ok i thought i would start a new thread as it relates to the question of CAT "C" rather than my off.
I was knocked off through no fault of my own and the other side have been to see the bike and declaired it a CAT "C" write off.
est for repairs on a gen 1 1000 2004 was £4492 inc vat and labour
value of said bike is marked down at £3722 and they wont budge and will only cat C it
going to fight this and try to get it repaired so my pride and joy isnt tagged a writeoff for the rest of its hopefully long life. but i doubt im going to win the battle.


SO on to my question....
Whats the deal with getting a cat c fixed and back on the road? given the chance i will buy the bike back and fix it up as it has so many extras added to it.
where do i stand legaly doing this? is it hard to do? do i need an inspection etc? am i gunna get hit on a loaded insurance?

that type of thing. must be some of you done this in the past
