Hi,

Just a quick one to see if anybody would have any ideas - with my W reg Fazer, not sure if it may be burning some oil, have had to top it off a couple of times, as the oil light (not the temp light) had come on...for a few seconds normally when I had been pulling away (ok ragging it away) some times just when up a slight incline.........

Not sure if this may be valve clearances that need checking, as they haven't been done since I've had the bike and not sure when they were last done off the top of my head prior to that......and also needs a oil and filter change as has been a year since that was done, but would it be that? It doesn't burn much oil, as when I have topped it up have put in say...50ml maybe and that has kept it going without the light coming on for a while.....

just wondering if there is any advice out there??

Cheers!!!
Jay

My fazers due some brake pads soon. Last set was Goldfren which to be honest i didnt think much of. Can anyone recommend some decent ones? Obviously not the expensive brembo's 

I wonder if anybody might help me with some info


I own a 2008 FZ1-N ABS which i would like to bring with me from Switzerland to OH, USA
Was told that the US authorities require some kind of certificate, which states that this bike conforms to US regulations.


How and where i might be able to get such certificate?

I have an 02 FZS 1000 fitted with a Datatool system 3 alarm, ever since I have had the bike the clock appears to set its self to a different time every time I set the alarm and leave it for a while. Anyone got any ideas why this my be happening? would love to have a clock that works.

I have a full set of Givi hard luggage - top box and E41 monokey panniers.

On my previous FZS600 I used a wing rack when I wanted to use the full set - no problem.

I now have a gen1 1000 with a Givi monokey rack which I use daily for just the top box. If I want to use the full luggage set I could get a 1000 fitting kit for my wingrack and swap over to that. However that is a bit of a hassle and I don't like the wingrack on all the time 'cos it's fug ugly just for a top box.

You can get pannier rails (Givi PL349) for the monokey rack but advice from suppliers seems to be that these are only suitable for E21 panniers.

So my question is this. Are these rails restricted to the E21 panniers because of the attachment method or is it just a conservative weight thing? In other words would these rails allow fitting of my E41 panniers? Has anyone done it or used panniers other than the E21? If the E41 will fit is it safe - what does the esteemed knowledge of Foc-u reckon?

Not me ! but the story goes as follows all the traffic had come to a stop on a busy main rd as a bus was stopping, whilst waiting to pull out the van driver was looking elsewhere  :o  and for a mo thought the traffic had started to move so put his foot down the outcome.. :eek



Would you believe he stayed on, got off &  'just' bruised-nothing banged out of alignment. How lucky.

Hello all,
Violets Daddy from Norfolk here, aka Paul, been riding 15 years in all weathers, a daily commuter (don't talk to me about rain and hosepipe bans!!!)
Just bought myself a nice mark I FZS1000, in black and red.
Had a Fazer 6 about ten years ago that I really like but broke it, replaced it with a VFR and have had VFR's since.
Moving back to the Fazer as I've forgotten how good they are, hopefully pick it up tuesday.
Will post pics when it arrives and will then be fitting an oiler to it.
Got a trip across France at the end of next month that I'm looking forward to, the bike and I can spend a week bonding!
Hopefully if the rain stops I can join in on some ride outs if there are any in the flatlands of Norfolk...
Once again, hello all!!
Violets Daddy
