Going to see an 04 Fazer 1000 this week on 36k.


Now I have read on here about the cam chain tensioner issues so a few questions regarding them please. I'd rather prevention over cure. I don't do many mile's.


Is there an upgrade auto tensioner, ie: first gen R1?


When changing the tensioner does the chain need tension applied while doing the job or is it just an unbolt and bolt on job. ( Obviously setup of the tension )

Hi all,


I noticed last night while doing some other bits and pieces to the bike that the cone/reflector/cover thing that sits over the dip beam bulb in the headlight has is pointing downwards as the top mount has broken off completely!


I know I've seen someone on here talking about removing it, but I can't find the post because I can't remember what the cone/reflector/cover thing is called!


So, is it necessary and needs repairing?


Should I just remove it? If so, how?


And of course, What's it called????


Thanks in advance 

Hello all,

There appears to be a significant movement switching the conventional Halogen headlight bulb for an LED alternative.
Anyone here experimented with this, or can confirm how this flies with the friendly MOT tester.  :thumbup  :thumbdown

Wouldn't the headlight reflector maintain the correct beam direction, even if the light emitted from the LED "bulb" is significantly brighter?

However based solely on the aim (no pun intended) of being noticed by other road users, brighter is better!?
Will also confirm the majority I saw who did this swap were based in the States, MT07 / MT09's (youtube).

Hello all.
I have been pootling about Cardiff for some time on a YBR and decided rather than doing my CBT I would bite the bullet and go for my big bike test.
Anyway, I passed and sold my YBR and went and bought a Fazer.
After a very wet ride home down the M4 on Saturday I am the proud owner of a T reg Fazer in red.


There probably will be lots of daft questions from me regarding Fazers, the price of bread and other random questions.


Thanks all


Rich

So I'm heading out to motorcycle live next week at the NEC with the intention of picking up some new gear. I've already got my eye on some new race gloves but my main focus is getting some better winter riding gear.
I'm looking for some decent
Waterproof, warm gloves
Waterproof textile trousers
Possibly one of the rain suits (if they are any good?)

I'm currently using An RST tundra jacket and RST textile bottoms, they do the job (just about) but wouldnt describe either as even water resistant

Ive not got the biggest budget in the world (probably about £500 in total) the gloves and rain suit are my main focus so just hoping to get some recommendations from any of your guys on what's decently priced and still good?

Dark blue or Black please. Ta

Any body got a baglux tank cover for sale ? dark blue or black please. cheers
