Just received fuel cap (pattern) from China for the grand sum of £12 freepost for MK1.Looked great until i tried to fit it ,Nice finish,hole spaces correct,arguably as good as oem,but sits high, ie not flush.Had a look at the seal and the aftermarket was thicker,so changed the inners and now it sits even higher,around 3mm.Will look at it again at some stage.Anyone had similar problems.Anyone tried the R1 ring and quick release fuel cap for fit? (3 holes).

morning all


just a quick one that some may find abit daft but here goes,


winters here blah blah....since moveing to the main land from the isle of man i dont have a garage for the bike so it lives out side next to my shed that is 12 inchs to short to fit bike in(fckin typical)..anyway...i have it covered with an oxford all weather stormtech cover so all is good....gave a good coating all over with a rag and wd40 before hand, now question is...




..shall i take battery off and leave in the house or start the bike once week? the bike wont get used now till the threat of snow has passed so cld be weeks cld be months.


anything else i should consider?

Hi guys,Great site!
Just parted with the old Exup(gettin'on a bit) and ended up with a FZS600s.Unsure what to do with the old girl yet as shes had a minorish bump to the front end.At the end of the day she's good craic on the road and is definitely a keeper.Just finding my way round it at present,as i do most of my own work.May try the headlight mod or attempt to MKII the front end,may even just go for a respray in an odd non standard colour.
Well thats it from rainy old Belfast at the moment.Nice to see the old Fazers being given the respect they deserve,Cheers,D.

Has anyone arranged the Brum Bike Shed meet for this year?

anyone know where I can source the black plastic caps that cover the handlebar clamp bolts?  I'm not sure what size they are.  5mm?  I have a couple missing.

Someone sent me this picture. Possibly not something I'll be trying any time soon...!

(And check out the "safety" gear!)

I've had a gen 1 Fazer 1000 for a few years - decided it's time I joined.  Just been through the Exup problem.  Fitted a new-ish one from a Gen 1 R1 - so back on the road now.  The original was so seized in the mounting plate no amount of heating and battering would move it.
I was horrified at the cots of a replacement - about £450 from Fowlers.

What brake pads give best braking power with normal riding not on the track?

And what else should I do other than change the fluid and clean and grease the pistons?

Anyone found wavey disks other than the Chinese ones on eBay?

Thanks
