i think im going to have problems removing these nuts,they are in a bad way,are the studs prone to break?

Any tips on how to get to this on a gen1 with the least amount of dis-assembly? Mr Haynes is singularly unhelpful - follow the wire, undo the bolt, slide it out. My dainty little paws won't even get close!!!

As an aside I got no error code when I disconnected it - is that normal? I'm pretty sure that it is my problem as the volt meter did not move from zero while turning the wheel with the ignition on.

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont know whats wrong with ya login register bit but its taken me an "hour" to get it sorted. was registered but every time i tried to login it wouldnt let me! 

right, previous user name was justy1000 & was in the middle of making some AIS caps up.

cut along story short, what turned out to be just making the 4 caps has turned into making up a complete kit. thats the 4 main caps & the 2 airbox caps.

cant seem to post pics so to make it easier for me jump on over to the fazer 1000 forum & have a look at the tech & mod sec under " prototype AIS caps" to get an idea of what theyre like.

just 1 draw back, i will be making a limited number (try to make as many as i can) as im due for an op on thursday which will take me out of action for at least 2 months.

i will be posting them in the for sale section on the fazer 1000 forum (so keep an eye out) to make it easier for me to manage & i dont miss anyone out due to watching 2 forums.....

"Justy 1000" has these kits available on a first come first served basis but can't seem to login in here and asked me to mention it here as I have ordered a kit

Hi all, swapped my BMW 850R a while back for a 2004 FZS 1000. Just joined this group and After reading various postings on here and other Fazer sites, I wondered if there is any way I can tell, externally, if my bike has been "Ivanised?"
The reason I ask is, although it seems to perform very well, on startup I don`t need the choke with throttle shut. If I put the choke on I have to give it some throttle to start.
I am given to understand that as standard, these bikes are, if anything, a bit on the weak side when cold.
I don`t want to start stripping the carbs to see if it`s been "done", so I wondered if installers usually mark the carbs in some way to say if it`s been converted.

Hi, going to grease my swingarm bearings and such, but before I go to halfords an buy every socket between 25 and 32, can someone tell me what size the nut is?

Also, do i need to take the swingarm off completely? I've already greased the suspension etc, and got the rear wheel off


Thanks
Tom

oh dear, oh they just scored a try, maybe?????????

I love it when the concensus is wont work cant do that wot fit it's like a red rag to a bull for me

wheel in and works fine you need the wheel and disc's from a 2001 r6 5 bolt fixing all else is fazer



here's the rear fitted prior to powder coating silver



this is bit more complex but i do a spacer and custom disc kit for this now if ya intrested

in all it updates the look gives you a 190 rear and as yet i havent found any issues with handling etc

I had a couple of owners ask me on my last 'Ivanising' visit about carbon fibre fairing insert panels.  With the standard plastic ones being prone to cracking, I wondered if anyone else might be interested in a group buy of these from Zero Limits.

I've e-mailed the company this morning to ask if they'd be willing to do a group order price, possibly to include the airbox side panels and the radiator side covers.

In the meantime, if you're interested, please register your name here so that I have some idea of the numbers when Zero Limits come back to me.

Cheers!

Mike
