my gen 1 is emitting a loud and very worrying engine rattle from cold start but largely disappears when the engine is warm.

any ideas guys?

p.s. bike only has a mere 132k on the clock!

Thanks

Have had my fazer for six years,was fully montied by mike several years ago included in the mod was mikes old blue flame can i still grin every ride even after all these years of ownership

Sunny skies, dry roads and a good ride wiv me mates from Chepstow > Abergavenny > Brecon > Cardiff.....good times! Shame about the salt though!

Took out the FZ1 which hasn't seen daylight for over a month, I forget how much of a fecking rip snorting animal it is when i'm feeling frisky....love it 

Hi, I don't tend to push my fazer too hard, but sometimes like to get the revs up. Just for fun.


I wondered if it does the bike any harm to operate at high revs?


Thanks in advance for any tips.

... of me Julie with new SP end can and Renthal's.

I have a full monty fazer and a standard one. The question is - can i shorten the carb spring, so its the same length as the full monty spring to make the throttle snappier on the standard bike?    Or can the mod only be done if it has the kit fitted? :'(

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.

"Where's Henry?" the others asked.

"Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.

"You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.

"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!"

Hi all, first post so go easy plz.


Some idiot knocked my fazer over when parked on the street. The handlebars have bent slightly - right side is up about an inch on the left....makes for interesting cornering!


I was looking to replace with renthals anyway so it was a good excuse.


I want to get a good idea about the riding position before buying. I've read all the posts about 789s (streetfighter) and 758s (ultra lows) and I'm tempted by the 758s.... but i want to know how much lower i'll be then the original bars. I use the bike daily for 20 mile trip to work and often have a pillion. Also do a lot of riding on A3 up and down to family in the south and don't want the pillion exposed by me being way over the tank....


I've also seen the 754s (low) - are these more similar to the original bars?


Right now I'm thinking that I'm going to get the Ultra Lows (758) and trim 15 mil off each end and go for plug bar ends but if the Lows (754s) make for a better pillion ride I'll go with those. Not too interested in looking mean - just comfy!


So, does anyone know the original spec (height, rise, width, sweep) of the OEM bars?


I'm going to straighten the old bars once their off the bike so any tips on how to do this would also be great. Want to keep them in case I ever sell (which I don't see happening as this is the best all round bike ever made).


Thanks,

my 1000
