  TPS question
Posted by: NitramA - 24-01-19, 08:19 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (6)

Just giving the bike a good seeing to ready for when the sun comes out.
Decided to check the TPS for the first time (only had the bike for 10 years!) and following the advice elsewhere I got a  steady 10k reading.
Initially I couldn’t get it to move to a steady 5k - was bouncing between 5k & 10k until I twiddled with the tickover adjuster. I read elsewhere this is normal.


The question I have is that during this the cooling fan came on!!


I hadn’t started the engine and it was bloody cold in the garage so I was a little surprised to say the least.
Is this normal when in TPS set up mode?


Also, how would you set it up? As I said I’ve got it so it just sticks at 5k, but I’ve read elsewhere it should bounce between 5k & 10k.

  EXUP Question
Posted by: FazerSimon - 24-01-19, 07:09 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (5)


What are the two bolts on the opposite side of the exhaust from the EXUP cover-plate for?


They are located behind where the internal bush of the EXUP valve is situated.

  Fitting Spotlights
Posted by: Middy2000 - 23-01-19, 08:03 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (30)

I'm sure it's probably been covered here already but I'm planning on fitting a couple of spotlights to compliment my current headlights (boxeye with twin modification).
What's the easiest way to wire these in.
I'm happy to have them permanently on with the headlights or should I use an independent switch for them?


Which wires do I tap into?

  Fowlers/Bristol/ cb1000r
Posted by: ogri48 - 22-01-19, 10:30 PM - Forum: General - Replies (64)


went into Fowlers in Bristol today...biggest bike shop ive ever been in in my life! 1000 new bikes on three floors and another honda specific showroom next door. Fell in love with the lightest helmet I've ever tried (carbon fibre premier trophy nx vintage full face...stunning looking retro too)
Had a look at the cb1000r VNA has mentiond in another thread and as he says, photos don't do it justice...it is indeed absolutely stunning in the flesh. They've somehow built a bike with retro café culture cool thats also ultra modern looking and looks proper built. Think the black version edged it for me, but I could never own one, the missus used to moan about the FZ1 seat... :lol :lol :lol :lol
seriously pukka looking bike though (and I bloody hate the look of most new bikes). If honda are doing deals, thats gonna be a popular bike for 2019

  For Sale Come Spring
Posted by: tommyardin - 22-01-19, 08:28 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (60)

This is out there in case you are looking for a nice FZS 600 Fazer Foxeye later in the spring.

Not now, but in April when the Fazer needs a new MOT it will be up for sale.
I am leaving it until then as it will command a higher price come spring. The Fazer FZS600 is in hibernation right now and it was given a good service before going to sleep for the winter.

It included:
Oil and filter change, Shell 4T Semi Synthetic. Plugs cleaned (Did not really need doing, as only done about 2,000 miles since being replaced) Air filter changed, Fuel stabiliser added to petrol tank, Chain Cleaned & Lubed.
.

Silver 2003 Registered. 37,754 Miles, MOT’ed until 23rd April 2019. Will come with a new MOT.

**  New Rear Shocker Nitron R1, 400-500 miles

Blue Billet Oil Filler Cap
12 mm Front Sprocket Nut and Washer Fitted 4[sup]th[/sup] Feb 2017
Chain and Sprockets Good 
1K Fazer rear caliper 'Blue Spot' and new pads, Fitted 200 miles ago + 1K Fazer Alloy drilled calliper torsion arm.
Front calipers serviced spring 2018
Bridgestone Batlax T30F Front & BT201R on the rear. Front tyre 100 miles, Rear tyre 1500 mile
Bike very clean and looks smart.
400-500 miles ago I spent £630 on full suspension upgrade. See ** above
Now set up for a 90 Kilo fully togged up rider (14 stones including riding gear)
Bike will not be ridden before April, when it will be taken for MOT, but is started up every two-three weeks and brought up to temperature.

Comes with:Yamaha Handbook, Haynes Manual, New Oxford Aquatex Cover, Oxford Battery Conditioner/Charger. Original Yamaha Screen, Original Yamaha Silencer. Spare 12mm Front Sprocket Nut & Washer, New 15 Tooth Renthal Front Sprocket. Disk Lock, Ground Anchor Chain, Brand new set of carb balancing gauges.
Registration Document & New MOT.
Looking at £1,800 in April.

Or now if you want to buy it now, that's good, but its still £1800, but I will still put new MOT on bike for purchaser. Will equal 13 months MOT.
