Really after a front tyre but will consider a matched pair

Preferably in silver without damage please

The seam is bursting on the front of my '04 gen 1 and while black gaffer tape works, it really lets the look of the bike down.  I found this crowd on ebay. Has anybody heard of them, or used them? http://www.topsellerie.com/@EN-FR/YAMAHA...8_210.html

Can anyone suggest anywhere (other than ebay) I can try to get a new key/ignition barrel and a set of rear footpegs relatively cheap?


I brought the bike with no rear footpegs cheering that it meant I couldn't take pillions anymore and in the two weeks I've owned it needed to take a pillion more times than a have in the last two years -.-
Suppose I was asking for that one though.


Cheers :]

Hey, I'm Jozi.
I'm quite new to forum so not really sure what i'm doing  :\
Brought myself a beaut of a fazer 600 two weeks ago (exactly  ) and thought it would be useful to join a forum to find out a bit more about them.

Well as most of us know I picked up my new wheels the other day.


Or rather, they were picked up for me.


So this thread is in tribute to the dahlings who have helped me and others loads over the years.

A big thanks to Unkle FazBaz who once again got me out of a fix by running me all about the place and making sure all was well. Its no the first time Baz has done this sort of stuff for me and i'm sure theres lots of others he's sorted in the past.


Lots of luv to Unkle Baz and all like him who go above and beyond the call of duty within the Foccer network.



Love y'all

Hello folks. I didn't see any area for non fazer hints and tips so if this is in the wrong place, sorry would someone mind shifting it a bit later?  Cheers

Sorry, this looks like it might be a long post (also put a thread on the gixxer forum as well)

I hope someone can help with this as i really don't have much knowledge with alarm systems and all my previous bikes have been carb'd so not much experience on FI machines, I have a haynes manual so its not all bad and i look forward to getting to grips with it


However


My new Suzi has a Meta 351 AM1G alarm/immobiliser unit fitted to it and its preventing me from starting the bike. Details on the Meta site (ie, the manual) are near useless and there's scant info online in a search, save for those folk that seem to have the same issue as me then referred to meta or installer or complete removal. Other places have said that you need to input the key/fob/red card code etc but give no instructions on how to do so, although with thieves everywhere looking for techniques, thats maybe understandable.


A brief history of me and the bike.

I bought it from my sisters neighbour. Very cheap due to the fact it was holed up for the winter and the alarm system had murdered the battery power (for the most part).

I picked it up and hooked up an old fazer battery to see if we could bump start it, which we did. So i ebay'd for a new starter (old one siezed) which i have now fitted.

All the meantime, the alarm system would beep on occasion and flash the indicators etc etc.

I fitted new battery and at some point disconnected it to do other stuff. This gave one final beep from Meta and there has been no sign of life since, either by detaching-attaching the battery or pressing the key fobs, either for a few seconds or 30 or longer. The bike will turn over if bridging the solenoid with a driver but the starter button up front is dead. All the while, there is a whirring sound from under the offside fairing, i'm assuming this is the fuel pump but i stand to be corrected

I have since removed the rear plastics to examine the wiring and theres at least 3 parts of wiring that go nowhere. 2 are plug connectors (small black one and larger white one) and the other is 2 wires that have just been snipped and left alone (even tho the heat shrinks are male and female and removeable ). AFAIK this has not stopped the bike running in the past, lest the previous owner (a fairly trustworthy fella who said he had to tidy up a lot after the previous previous guy messed up the tail light wiring fitting a aftermarket undertray) be telling me porkies.

Suffice to say the electrics are a bit of a shambles under the skin and will need some work, but i plan that in the longer term, and all i seek right now is to get it started and running at will so i can put the thing in for the MOT

The more i try and find online, the more i think i should just trace the alarm wiring back and remove it altogether, however this is absolutely the last resort as i would rather have the alarm in place and working.


Sorry for the convoluted story but i thought i should give as many details as i can remember if i am asking for assistance in getting to the root of the issue.
If it helps i have taken some photograph of the wiring arrangements to provide a sketch on what state it is in, if you would like i can post these  cos if i'm honest, there;s some parts i just don't know that seem to be part of the stock set up but are placed very amateurishly.


Any help you folks can provide is greatly appreciated


Many thanks in advance

Here we have a spare set of wheel spacers. I made them to fit my 2004 Fazer 1000 I'm thinking £20 or offers ?
CNC machined from stainless and polished.  Can easily run some more sets off if enough interest .

Well, the Stain magic works, granted my headers where not bad, but had brown marks & the light straw tempering colour at the mouths which means the temperature got to 220/230C.
‘Feckin’ camera was discharged & got impatient so I started with the radiator on before taking any ‘pics.’  As I couldn’t reach the pipes higher up I took off the radiator…..result.
Took appox 3 hours of elbow grease with a final polish with P21s.
Have to say, not bad.

Hi all, im doing some modifications to my fazer  and im planning on replacing the airbox with individual cone filters, my only problem is i noticed you have to remove the engine to get rid of the airbox!  :eek

Im very confident that if i were to do that most of the bolts etc. would snap.

Is there any other way except taking a saw to it, to remove the airbox????

help!!
