Wanted...rt/hand fairing infill, '04 Fazer 1000, that's the bit that covers the radiator cap

It’s that time of the year again. The Annual Whitstable Egg Run leaves Tankerton Rd car park at 1pm, I usually aim to get there for midday weather permitting. Either bring an egg, or do as I do, make a donation to one of the several collectors. There’s usually a burger van in the car park providing refreshments if needed, but I’ll make an early start to take in a caff on the way. If anyone fancies the ride I can meet Junction 2a M26(A20), but it would be earlyish around 8am.

Wondering if any parts from other models are easily compatible with each other?


From my other post about the 'starter cut off' - found that it's the ignition switch at fault - it has led me to confusion and frustration trying to find the correct replacement part.
My switch (2002 fzs600) has the 7 wires (5+2) but all I see are ones for up to 2001, or ones with every year listed, but with 6 wires (4+2)


I've seen a couple posts on here about Foxeye/Boxeye (???) and a mention that the 2001/02 fzs1000 ignition switch is the same.


Seeing the official Yamaha parts catalogue says they are "unavailable",  is there another option apart from converting my 7 wire to a 6 wire which I'm not sure I have the necessary patience to do?
I'm getting kind desperate as bike has been off road for too long and I need to get it sorted for transport.

It had to come,  having lived here  for 20 years there has always been talk of MOT-ing bikes, finally, starting in April its going ahead for the first time ever...
The reason for not having a test is that goverments own statistics proved there is no connection between accidents caused by bad maintenance, the French way of taking your own responsibility  of keeping your machine serviced, after all, its your life... However, the new test is basicly a visual check, and lasts for 3 years, so in a way pretty pointless. Having had tests every yesr in the UK its no big deal for me, and at less than 50 euro not expensive.... c'est la vie.

As stated, in need of the switch assy for 2002 fzs600 (UK) (and the keys as well I guess  )


Seeing a few places like M&P state that theirs are for this year but the wiring is wrong - one of the connectors do not have the correct amount of wires!


I don't care if it's been painted bright pink with blue stripes, as long as it works correctly (continuity checks between paths etc)


Prefer to pay through PayPal or if you have an eBay link etc....
Not looking to spend mega bucks because....well, I'm skint lol


Cheers all.

Is it ok to simply post my eBay link to this??  -

Ignition control unit from (potentially) a 2002 fzs600
I got this from eBay a couple weeks ago, it was listed as a 2002 but I have no idea if they fit other models/years.
I never fit it to the bike or tested it at all so it's still sat in the box it came in.


Great condition to be honest, no cracks or anything.
Selling for what I paid for it.

With a 1.5hour wait on Monday for my wife  who was at a physio appointment, I headed for a coffee in the shopping centre and took a look at the magazines in Easons Book shop first. The magazine that caught my attention was Classic Motorcycle Mechanics because it had a picture of a yellow FZS1000S on the cover, thumbed through it and bought it. Into the cafe and settled down with my coffee to read the article.
The bike they used for the test was a yellow 20003 S model with 10,000 miles, looking like it came out of the showroom totally standard.
A good article, but didn't tell me anything I didn't all ready know and the article contributors loved it.
Definitely worth a read if you have not already done so.

Ive read through a couple of threads here. very informative but Im partly confused.
I picked up the fazer as a spare engine for my 02 R1 track bike, only difference tuning and carbed against the Fi R1.


,the bike was stood for a couple of years had some rust in the tank which Ive cleaned out and had two filters, now just the one. Carbs had been off and cleaned.
The bike will cut out after standing for 10 mins or on a short ride. Will then start right up again, straight away.


The ECU is cool, the battery gets 14.5v dropping to 13.5 with all lights on  and heated grips. BUT, the fan cuts in after 30 seconds, the motor isnt warm yet and the voltage then drops just below 13v.
could the fan sensor be faulty? would that cause the engine to cut?

from the former Avon tyres home.
new here, recently picked up a Fazer thou 2002 . looking for a bit of advice  as have a few too many projects on the go.
riding for 50 years , slimming down collection now on the rise again
Fazer 1000, R1 track bike, Laverda 750, ZX750 and BSA A50 chop.

I use my FZS 600 '99 for commuting daily and recently it developed a problem with a noise coming from the right hand side of the engine. I only notice this sound when the bike is started from cold, and the sound reminds me of a tractor: clattering like. It doesn't happen all the time, and is faint. Comes and goes. Not constant.


I first noticed it/it started happening after I washed the bike with a hose pipe and then used the Bruhl dryer straight after and then started the bike to remove any remaining droplets of water. The engine temp light came on, and the bike sounded rough. The first few rides after that were very bumpy, and the bike ran rough for the first mile or so (juddering, low on power, surging and then perfectly fine after about 3k). I drained some fuel out of the float bowel and it was clear and smelt of petrol, thinking I'd gotten water in the carbs or suchlike. I've not done anything other in that side of things.


A week later the bike starts fine and starts first time, I've changed the spark plugs and that helped but the noise is still there and the bike is still low on power from cold occasionally (not every single time) sounds like it wants to die and sometimes tries to but doesn't and keeps running. Its nowhere near as bad. Seems like an intermittent issue. When it plays up it goes through a phase and then suddenly everything is fine power wise and it runs normal. Always below 3k and in first (not noticed an issue in other gears). Runs fine, reaches 70 mph etc perfectly fine. Goes to the rev limiter. No stutter on throttle input.


Before I ask the shop to take a look what can I do. HT leads, coil pack, air filter?
