one for all you fair weather riders , for me, long summer days are for riding but to get the most out of our fazers they need to be looked after , so whilst iam out riding iam making a list of improvements and jobs that need doing when the cold ,wet weather comes.......thing is though,i never get the jobs done, far too cold in the garage this time of year  :o .....


thats got to change this year as i have a problem thats put me off the road so if i want to enjoy long days in the saddle next spring / summer i got to get out there are get things sorted now....


thought i would start this thread as a bit of kick up the backside for me and also maybe to help others who are doing the same....




so............what you got planned this winter ?

Any of you come across this problem I'd be grateful for your opinion
[size=78%] Indicators[/size]
                Left front not working neither is the left arrow display  Left rear is working.

                Right front, rear and right indicator arrow work

                Hazards on, the three working indicators and right arrow flashes.




  If I remove either or both of the front left indicator connections the the left display arrow works
The indicator bulb isn't blown, I connected it direct to battery.





Getting a fluctuating Voltage through the left indicator wires with indicator disconnected


Continuity showing between frame and all eight wires in turn  with all indicators connected
fully disconnect left indicator, of the eight wires all but the front left brown shows continuity to the frame
fully disconnect right front indicator and both both right wires show continuity to the frame

Is the problem therefore with the single brown wire?  should all the wires be earthing to the frame?   

Any ideas appreciated

Hey all


Looking to buy aftermarket exhaust for my fazer 1000 2014 model.


Looking for good quality with ideally no marks or dints and would prefer a more known brand though
will give everything a look.


thanks

Hi guys
Introducing my first bike my FZS600 26k.
Had it a week and almost as long as my licence and been easing into the biking world.
It came it rad panels and belly panels, take them off for the attached pics as I’m between fixing niggles and also I’m in two minds weather to keep them off or on.
[size=78%]Maintenance is part of fun for me so.......[/size]
Given it some fresh filters, oils, and plugs since I had it. checked valve clearances all nicely within spec
Slight niggles misfire on tickover and low rpm rolling on throttle, fresh fuel with additives added, done plugs, got  new plug caps on the way, have a carb balance gauges on the way but I’m expecting the carbs out and clearing pilot jets soon. In particular no 4 which the manifold is touchable after start up compared to 123. Also checked the TPS is happy.


So you guys think I’m missing anything


Still wind her up and she’s eager to go took it for my first exploratory trip to Minehead as pictured.

    Best way to polish the standard downpipes?  They are meant to be stainless but that's a joke surely!

I've recently started volunteering with SERV (the bloodrunners) and I need to make up a board to strap the boxes on to the back of my Fazer - I have a Givi Monokey plate on there and I want to make the board up from a sheet of aluminium with angle riveted round the edge and the locating and locking bits from a pannier riveted on too so it will snap on and off the plate like a pannier.

Panniers sell on eBay for £30 but I don't really need an intact one - a smashed-up one will do fine if the locating and locking bits are salvageable.

I'm happy to pay for the bits and postage.

It has to be Monokey rather than Monolock to fit the plate.

Cheers,
Dave

Anyone switch to a Winter hack (BIKE) through these dark/wet winter months? Extra points added for Pictures of their winter bike.

Considering a cheap winter runaround. So can stay on a bike, while the FAZER is locked away for when better weather returns (and avoiding salty/wet/mucky roads).
As someone was saying in another thread - " a bike will always look worse coming out of winter than it did going in.  ".

A twist and go scooter might suit the bill, for a few giggles!

Thinking of getting a belly pan for my FZ1 as I really like the look of them, but what do others think? Would you or not...I think they look good!!
