  Bike wont start when hot
Posted by: DaveFX8 - 17-11-18, 10:00 PM - Forum: Fazer8 / FZ8 - Replies (9)

Hi guys sorry my second post is looking for help


i have a 2011 FZ8 16k miles full history seems a well looked after bike
only got it yesterday.


well here issue.


i went to look at the bike the bike was stone cold, it fired up no problem at all stopped and started it 6 or 7 times no issue.


rode it fairly steady about 45 miles everything seemed good, stopped in town to show my wife was there about 20 mins went to start it, nothing hit the button not a peep, every time i hit the start the EML illuminates.


i turned it on and off for about 10 mins then it fired into life and i rode 10 mins home when i got there, same again wouldn't start messed abot 2 or 3 mins then again fired up.


i then left it until this morning a first touch it fired up no problem i then just left it to tick over and get up to temp againg started and stopped it abou 15 times no problem.
i then waited for it to reach 101 degrees the fan cut in, hit the button and it was again dead.


it took about 25 mines before it would start again temp went down too 56 before it would restart.
i then left it running it then got up to 103 i turned it of but this time it started ok i started it about 6 or 7 times when it was over 100 degrees i then pushed it back in the garage and scratched my head  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes


any help or pointers greatly appreciated


Dave

  Green fuel
Posted by: Hugh Jass - 16-11-18, 01:30 PM - Forum: General - Replies (13)

So my Fazer sits by the side of the house doing nothing.
It's tatty and only gets a few rides a year. I think I last put some fuel in it in July or something like that.I needed to go out yesterday and the wife had left the lights on in the car and it had a flat battery.
So I went up to the bike and it started up first thing! I know I haven't toutched it since August.But on riding off it was sluggish and didn't want to ride. Then the more I rode it it seemed to get better, but if I accelerated hard it felt like it was running out of fuel.
So I am figureing it needs a carb clean, but I shone a light in the fuel tank and the fuel was green!Not a tinge of green, no! It looked more like limeade or something, it's bright increadable hulk green!!! I can see through it, but it does look bright green.
What the hell is in modern fuel that it goes green like that?Can petrol go mouldy?

  Rider down
Posted by: celticbiker - 16-11-18, 11:56 AM - Forum: General - Replies (18)

Got cut up this morning. Managed to avoid hitting the van but mounted the kerb and damaged the front wheel, the rear too but that's useable. Cant find a front ABS wheel anywhere, does anyone know if a wheel from something else will fit?

  one for the older bikers..
Posted by: ogri48 - 14-11-18, 09:02 PM - Forum: General - Replies (40)

one of the fellers on the cb1300 forum has painted his bike like a silver cbx1000. apparently hunts had four done from new by dream machine paint in derby, two in red, two in silver. The reds lovely too, but the silver works best for moi...more akin to the first naked one that came out. I love the standard red/white paint on mine, but if I could afford it, I'd have the silver jobbie..

  Ignition advancer Gen1 ?
Posted by: ProdigalSon - 14-11-18, 01:42 AM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (9)

I've seen people make mention of a 4 degree ignition advancer, is it worth fitting one of these and f so are they hard to fit? My bike is fitted with an Ivans Full Monty kit and Remus can.

  2006 FZS1000, all of the good mods
Posted by: ianh - 13-11-18, 06:05 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (12)

Hi all.
Looking to sell my Fazer as it just isn't getting the use it deserves.
Bought it from the site near 2 yrs ago, from a guy who had it fully Ivanized and fitted the various other mods everyone agrees make the bike the best it can be.
I am including the rear mounting frame for a Givi Monokey box ( I currently use a Givi V45, which I will use on my next bike[size=78%])[/size]
There is a colour coded Bagster tank cover shown, which is also available separately for £35 if sold with the bike.
The tank beneath is unmarked.
The bike is in excellent condition and has had regular oil changes.
The latest was May 2017, after which I have done barely 500 miles.
MOT history is excellent and there were no advisories when completed in June.
The paint scheme is a rare combination and really sets off the bike, along with the gold wheels.
I've written down all of the extras, so feel free to look and ask for more info.
Added to the spec list are some 1.5" handlebar risers and a colour coded belly pan.


Looking for £2450 ovno

  Yamaha FZ1 Fazer (Gen.2) MRA dark tint double bubble screen
Posted by: ProdigalSon - 11-11-18, 09:51 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - No Replies

I have for sale an MRA dark tint double bubble screen for a 2006> Yamaha FZ1 Fazer, some very minor marks, as can be seen someone mounted this incorrectly and the tint has rubbed away at two points (I shall endeavour to touch these in, the screen itself is tinted it's just a paint on tint to darken the base), one very tiny chip in it, but overall in excellent condition and a cheap screen for someone £30.00 inc. p&p
