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

I have an oil leak that seems to be coming from the area around the bottom of the casing that has the gear change spindle coming through it. If it's the gasket that has blown then I presume I can do this with the engine in-situ? Why would this gasket blow for no obvious reason?


Is there anything else in this area that could cause an oil leak? I notice two oil feed pipes just below the cover. The oil leak seems to be above these pipes but is it worth removing these at the same time and changing the O rings on the ends (if they have O rings to seal)?


The leak is serious enough that I cant use the bike until the leak is resolved, any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks

Haven't quite worked out how to post pics yet but box in great condition with both keys & plate.

The Givi box has a red lid and bottom half is black btw

Box & plate - £45 + postage

Enjoy
Mike

....especially as it's been so many years! 


I used to hang around here back in the day. I think I first registered as 'Bracechenko' (original that I'm now v2 right!  :rolleyes ) when I bought my 1st bike (FZS600) back in 2006. Well since then I've had 4 motorbikes in total and 3 of them were Fazer's so I reckon I qualify as a fan.


My current Fazer is a FZ1-SA 2007 with all of the right mods. I've owned it since 2011 and absolutely love the bike so have never considered changing it. Only recently did I start to think it was beginning to look slightly dated but a nice LED light conversion, removal of the Givi rack and a little tidy up around the rear and she looks nice and fresh again.


I used to use my bikes to commute and have ridden about 200k miles in the last 13 years but now I only have my 1 bike which is mainly for those occasional blasts along with at least a couple of mini tours of Europe.


Well, nice to say hello to you all. I'll upload some pics at some point soon and will likely hang around to see what's going on. I've got a few FZ1 bits which I'll post for sale too.


Mike
