Hi, im Raphael from Panamá (central America), sorry for my english, it's not my  native language.
I have a Yamaha Fazer 400 (4yr1), red, probably the only one in the country, recently I had an minor incident with a car, nothing serious just a lot of scratches to different parts of the motorcycle, it was the other person's fault so the her insurance company is paying for everything. Here is the thing, its nearly impossible to find specific parts for this bike here in Panama, so I was wondering if you guys can help me out with websites, stores, etc where I can find the parts that I need, specifically: radiator, rearsets gear shift and rear brake, foot rests both of them, engine covers: left and right, crankcase and cover/generator, levers: brake and clutch and handle bar switches.


From what i´ve been researching it looks this bike was released in 1997/98, not sure because the registration says 2006, I guess it was assembled in 2006?, anyways, I´ve read in this forum that there´s other models like the 1998 Yamaha Fazer FZS 600cc that share many parts and its a much more popular and known bike, so maybe it's easier if I look for specific parts that match between the FZS 600 and FZ400?, also, maybe there´s also similar parts between this FZ400 and YZF R1 1998?.


Thanks in advance, any info will be much appreciated.

Hello folks
As above, the plastic overlays that cover the fork seals in case anyone has a couple lying around, or can direct me to a cheap aftermarket set.

Many thanks

Owdo, folks.
IveI just got my self an 03 fazer thou.
Its crackin bike.
Now, just a slight problem with it. There's some play in the rear wheel bearings . My question is, how do you remove the needle roller bearings

I wonder what the other teams are thinking when Marquez can gap the field at half a second a lap! that's really to much to accept with the current bikes and riders,I can't believe he's that much better but no one could go with him this weekend,let's just hope it's a one off or we're in for a right boring season.Great to see the doctor back in the frame though,bet Maverick wasn't to pissed off ay?

I am trying to find the new owner of my old fzs600, the bike is still showing as taxed, insured but mot just ran out.


Bike had a private plate J44 YrG on it and it still has.


Anyone know the owner? Are they on here?

HI


Hoping you may be able to offer some advice, my 2003 gen 1 started running rough this morning, whilst idling i could hear a air whistling sound coming from the engine.


Upon further investigation i discovered [size=1em]that the vacuum port cap was missing on cylinder 3 along with the spigot which the cap fits to, there is just a hole in the inlet hose visible. [/size][size=1em]Any advise on what to do next would be greatly [/size][size=1em]received[/size]

[size=1em]Thanks[/size]

[size=1em]An upside down picture helps[/size] :rolleyes

Wear diddy go?

nah diddy buggeree.
eeze mekkin a ree tern.

Since i bought my second Fazer ive noticed that the clutch is not as reliable on the bite point as my last Gen 1. As the bike gets hot the bite point comes further and further towards the bar until (if im in traffic on a hot day) it no longer disengages, i can ride along with full drive with the clutch fully into the bar.


Now the last owner (on this site) told me that he had put in a clutch kit (EBC i think) with heavy duty springs. I have since been in touch and he has thrown the removed plates and springs away.


Ive been told two things.


1. Change the oil and filter, as the oil that's in it may be causing the issue. Im going to do this and see if it works before i move onto .........


2. Fit a new original clutch kit with springs, friction plates and steels. I got a price on this genuine kit yesterday and i'm looking at around £250+ for the kit, not including any labour or gaskets. I could do it myself, but if i get my local (very trustworthy) bike shop to do it,  and still doesnt work, i can take it back and they can fix it for free seeing as they told me that this would fix it.


The third option is to put an ad on here for a complete original clutch basket and fit the lot, or see if anyone has a good complete clutch kit with springs, frictions and steels.


Any advice please??
