Hi everyone, Craig here from Birmingham.


I’ve taken the plunge and decided to chop in my 2000 VFR800Fi for a half faired 2008 Fazer 1000.
Due to collect Monday...


I’m going against the grain really as all my mates are sports bike riders and think I’m a boring sod  for this decision.


Hopefully it won’t let me down!!!!


Any recommendations for sensible mods?


Cheers


Craig

Don't know how many of you have read this today? But honestly good on them. The police don't care about motorbike theft so this was bound to happen sooner or later

I've bought a 4 deg ignition advancer, but when I've tried to fit it I can't get the bolt holding the original to slacken.
I do have an impact driver and an air powered rattle gun but due to it being on the crank end I didn't fancy risking it, what has everyone else used to crack the threadlock??

Hi guys


Strange thing has been occurring recently on my 2001 FZS600 Fazer. I've noticed after a ride sometimes after I turn my bike off and roll it into my garage it is make a weird clicking or ticking sound, it happens when moving the bike forward and backwards.


I've put the bike on the centre stand and moved the back wheel and it is also making the clicking and ticking sound then as well.


Any ideas what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance [size=78%]  [/size]

What’s the standard done on a T reg 600 fazer?


Upgrades filter like in the box ?


Total air box removal and open cone filters ?


What has everyone done in the past or is standard the way to keep it ?

I have a brand new jacket with tags I don’t need.


They retail at around £180 but have it up on eBay at the moment for 120 or best offer.


I have no idea how to post photos on here so il share the eBay link.


If anyone is interested il cancel the eBay add and sell direct to save on loosing loads on fees.

Hi guys

My latest bit of maintenance has led me to overhaul the rear caliper. I've had nothing but success with Wemoto before so ordered some new seals and pads from there. After finally getting both pistons moving with compressed air, then pulling the old seals out of one side, the new brake fluid seal went in no problems but the dust seal just would not seat in the groove properly. It was almost like it was 20% too big in circumference although it was a perfect fit around the piston alone.

Eventually I held it up against the old dust seal and it is indeed noticeably thicker.

With this extra thickness it won't seat in the groove of the caliper and is effectively useless. I didn't realise Wemoto weren't OEM but I thought they would be better than this. The brake fluid seal seems to be the same size and circumference as the old one but how can I be sure it won't leak brake fluid all over the place when I need to stop.

I will ping an email off to Wemoto and see what they say.

Where do you all get your seals from?

My side light and tail lights have stopped working. First stop, fuse . All fuses working . Bulbs , all working .
So power. This part im not too good with but I try :rolleyes .
Handlebar and all connectors seem all ok. With ignition on power going to switch and coming back out.
So here is where I get lost :'( . Does the power now go to the relay in behind left hand cover and if it does how easy is it to check the relay. Any help with will be great . I may not be on due to work for couple of day and will miss my bike :'( . Any help much appreciated.

As above from 5-30 pm - 8-30 pm every Tuesday.Open for hot snacks, sandwiches, cakes, and coffees.
