For a 2004 FZS 1000.  Part no.  5LV-2470F-00.  Believe it or not some years do have different part numbers.

Hi,


Has anyone had any experience of swapping the standard seats out for touring versions.


After a couple of hours riding on Saturday and again on Monday my butt had had enough. I used to have an XJR and I swapped the seat on that with great results.
Can anyone recommend an alternative seat or a decent upholsterer?


Thanks

Morning All,


Just bought an FZ1 as a sports tourer. Got pannier and a top box on it and did 250 miles of the weekend. I ride a Harley with ape hangers and short pipes usually so the Fazer is quite a change.
Have to say I'm impressed with it so far.

Hi I'm new on here and I'm starting to look for a fazer 1000. There's one thing bothering me and that's how do I know if the exup valve is working or fitted even when I go looking at bikes? Cheers Choppa.

Hi I'm new on here and after my first fazer preferably blue, if you one have send me a message. Cheers Choppa.

Hello guys!!!!

I'm pretty new here and I've recently bought a Fazer. I'm really keen to take the front fairing off and put duel round headlight in the front and possibly change the speedo as it is a bit too big and bulky for me. I would like to know if other people have done this and how easy they found it? I have next to no experience with electronics but I've stumbled across a wiring diagram I think I can understand.

What speedo's and headlights have people changed to and how much work was it?

Sorry if this is a newbie question, I look forward to seeing your responses.

Thanks!
Fazer 600 2002

Are there any other forks that are a direct replacement onto a gen 1 1000 or should i just get mine rechromed[size=78%]. TIA[/size]

Hey guys , just replaced my head bearings with nice new tapered kit , all good , but during installation I've misplaced the locking tab washer for the 2 nuts on the top of the stem :/ searched for 2 days and still can't find it ,
Been looking online but cant find one for sale anywhere , can any of you point me in the right direction ?


Cheers

Ok, so I gave up trying to swap the OEM header studs for new stainless ones and decided to just re-mount the down pipes.
Except now I've got another problem... 
The whole reason for my starting this was that the connection between the cat pipe and the one that leads from the headers, down underneath the engine was blowing, presumably because, when I had the new engine installed (see an old thread) the workshop didn't have the right gasket, so bodged it with exhaust bandage.
I've put the new gasket in, it's a very snug fit, but now I've to got try to get the headers into the sockets on the cylinder head and, at the same time, get the rear end into the bottom of the cat pipe.
Except I can't get them to line up!
The Haynes manual says do the header end first, then push the rear end into the cat pipe,  but when I put the headers in, the rear end is about half an inch out of place. probably because the tail end is about 2 inches deep.

I've looked at the idea of putting the cat end in first, but, because it's a very snug fit on the gasket, it won't go in easily and I don't want to just bash it into place with a rubber mallet because that will foc up the gasket.
So can anyone suggest what I can do to get this sorted...?

Hi everyone just joined the forum. After years of sportsbikes the time has come to admit I'm just getting too old for them now, my wrists, hips and knees are turning to cheese so I've decided to sell up and buy a fazer 1000.
I've done a bit research and these bikes sound perfect for me performance and comfort. I haven't bought my bike yet so if anyone has one coming up for sale around the £2200 mark give me a shout, cheers Choppa.
