So, after snapping a spark plug in half (while still in the head), I am very close to getting it back together. After a short delay with a gasket (see elsewhere) the head and cam shafts are back in and cover on. While the Fazer has been off the road I had a test ride on Triumph 1050 Sprint ST. I love my Fazer but the Triumph was a great bike.......I might just have to have two bikes. Just dont tell the family....

I've been asked to post this on behalf of a friend of a friend who's having problems logging on to the forum. [img alt=smiley: smile]http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif[/img]

2002 Gen 1, blue and standard apart from a taller screen (make unknown).  5300 miles only and asking £2,900.

Described as in mint condition.  No photos available for me to put here, unfortunately.

If you'd like more details, contact Lauren on 07827 812358.

I've not seen the bike, don't know the seller other than by association with our mutual friend and can't provide any more information than what's here already.

Christ on a crutch,  I didn't know new photo uploads were put on the front page  :eek  Will have to upload a few more so my face isn't the first thing new visitors see  :lol 

I stupidly removed head gasket without checking which way it goes back on. I have of course got replacement but noticed it is not quite symetrical.
If you lay gasket down as if looking forward on the bike there is a little tab just off front close to centre. Looks like it is for another engine model as well (thundercat maybe). But when looking forward should it be to the left or the right? Help!

Also need fixing kit as well

Cheers

Hi All,  Still have my '99 FZS and maybe I always will,Why not?
With all the great advice here it should go forever.

Just bought a replacement Yuasa YTZ14S for my FZ1-S. Charged it o/night and fitted it today - electrics are dead as a dodo, yet were working when I removed the old battery a few days ago. Now I've noticed that with the battery sat in it's proper place in the bike the positive terminal is on the LEFT of the bike and the negative terminal on the RIGHT, not the other way around as specified in the owner's manual. Therefore the red lead has to be attached to the negative terminal of the battery and the black to the positive - surely wrong!! . If I turn the battery around in it's cradle, then the leads just won't reach the terminals. The new battery is exactly the same as the old one.
What the f### is going on here??
Could other members check their own bikes and let me know if I'm being a p###k?

Cheers lads and lasses!
