Hi,

Noticed last night arriving back home, a smell of burning coolant....

Checked this morning and the bottom seal between the rubber and metal pipes feeding into the bottom of the engine block (oil cooler?) looks like it's gone.

Is this something a novice mechanic could handle? Looks like you'd have to get the pipes off (?) and my 03 Fazer 1000 header bolts look like they're rusted solid. I presume the part would be cheap-ish, but the rest of the work looks frightening. Trouble is I can't drive it anywhere, I'd lose all the coolant in 10 minutes. Is this a squealer job?

Thanks,
Chris.

Would you buy a Yamaha Niken?


For me it is a big no, £13500 for a 263 kilo MT09 with an extra wheel, I don't care how much confidence you get in pushing the front end, its not a motorcycle, its a tricycle.

ive done a search and can’t find a guide to removing ais on my 2004 fzs1000


Can I do it With stock pipe on ? Will be getting a slip on and Ivan’s jet kit in due course


Are all the common mods stickied somewhere?

Hi,


I am building a custom Fazer, is anyone using a lithium ion batter they can send me a link to?


Thanks,


James

so I’m the proud new owner of a stock 2004 thou with 44k up it 


This will be my second bike after passing my test in 2016. First bike was a my09 tracer that I did 13k on in 18 months


I’m expecting a totally different experience with this older inline 4, with no abs or traction control, so I’m going to have to learn to respect the power and the brakes very quickly  :eek


I pick her up next Saturday  :lol

Good second hand ones, no spanner rash or rust.

Its that time for new chain and sprockets, still have the originals so that includes the 9mm nut, kept an eye on it due to known problems but all was well.
Sooo ordered a new nut and locking washer from my dealer and a new 9mm nut turns up. Apparently its all up to date, but why a 9mm nut and not the 12mm nut if there are known problems.
Shall I get a 12mm nut from wemoto?


Cheers


Nick

:thumbup What a fantastic day at Philip island! right from the off with Moto 3,at one stage 6 abreast going into some corners ,through surely one of the best Moto 2 races since Mattia Pasini won in Italy,to a brilliant Moto GP which even though Vinales got away was still an unbelievable battle for 2nd,Megga,Megga,Megga.!!!

Long shot but after a set of discs from 600 please. I‘ve cross referred them and believe they will fit my newly acquired XJR400 ?



Thanks in advance
