If anyone here is interested then let me know

Spring is nearly here - so I'm offering this again. Bargain at £2490.

I’m reluctantly considering parting with my Fazer 1000. I’ve owned this bike from new but I’m getting to an age where the knee bend is just too much and is becoming a deterrent to riding. It must be one of the best available at its age having only covered 17,300 miles and rarely been out in the wet. Pictures show the condition, here’s a summary of its features;Perfect running order (as you would expect)
1 owner (me) from new (2005)
Full monty Ivan’s kit fitted by Mike
Blue (the later darker blue)
17, 300 miles
Carbon Can exhausts (std can available if required)
AIS removed
R6 shock (around 5k miles on this)
Venhill brake lines
R1 Shift mod (plus std parts)
Heated grips
Hugger
Mirror extenders
Exup valve maintained regularly from new!
Yamaha engine bars
Gear position indicator
Alarm
MOT till May 2019

On the negative side, there is a small crack on the left hand side infill panel and a slight scuff on the alternator cover.

Bike is located near to Glasgow.

On my recent trip to the Spa Classic and the Black Forest, there were two occasions when some coolant was lost via the header tank overflow. Both times on hot sunny days stuck in traffic and limited to low speeds. I'm hoping the culprit is the radiator cap which has been ordered. However, although the fan operates within a few minutes on tick over from start up, as it should, is there a way of easily proving it would come on via the thermo switch in high heat conditions.
I know the manual suggests testing the resistance of the thermo switch  in a pan of water at various temperatures, but wondered if there's a simpler way.

On my Gen 1 1000, ive noticed occasionally that the tacho drops to zero, and then pops up and starts reading normally again, I thought it may have been a loose plug in the back of the clocks. Ive seen the 7K Exup fault lots of times before so i know how they are displayed. Then very recently i think the fault stayed around long enough for the fault code to be displayed properly, it went to 3K which i believe is a Throttle Position Sensor fault. Can anyone confirm this please?


Also, is it a matter of adjusting the position (if possible) of the sensor or are we talking about scrapping it and buying another one?

Hey
Looking for some orings for my main jets and pilot jets.
If anyone knows were i can buy some, please let me know
Cheers

About 4 years ago I put up this post http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,13217.0.html documenting how I went about fitting a pannier rack for the newer FZ6s to my FZS600 as it was no longer possible to buy one. Well now unfortunately circumstances have changed and the time has come to sell the bike, but before doing so I thought I would see if anyone would be interested in buying the top box/pannier racks off the bike for their FZS600. I know there was a fair bit of interest in this post at the time, and I can't imagine Givi racks for FZS600s have gotten any easier to find in the last few years. I'd prefer to sell the racks with the panniers and top box included, but I will also consider selling them separately. I'm based in Northern Ireland, but I will get them posted anywhere in the UK/Ireland as required.

Also if anyone is interested in buying the bike complete with the racks and boxes included that would be even better. It's 2003, 21,000 miles, full years MOT.

Since I've probably buggered the engine on mine and workshops have recommended that it would ultimately be cheaper and better to replace it than get someone to spend many hours try to fix the current one, I'm looking for a second hand one.
The bike is a 2006 FZ6 Fazer SA (ABS) and the engine block has 5VX-00 on it.
I'd like one with low mileage and which has been serviced properly (unlike mine, my own fault ) and without the exhaust studs etc rusted to buggery...!
If anyone has one, please let me know, thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked before I did try doing a search but couldn't find the answer, are the 5 spoke wheels from the Gen. 2 a direct fit on a Gen.1 bike or do they need modifying in any way, poncy I know but I prefer the look of the 5 spoke wheels.
Thanks for any help.

Well due to my shifts and not living anywhere near where Falcon269 was doing fittings back in the day when he was doing them I've decided it's do or die and do it myself. So today I ordered a Full Monty kit from SG Racing and I shall tackle the job when they arrive.
I was just wondering if anyone had any pearls of wisdom as to things to do and not to do, I'm assuming the bike hasn't already been done by the previous owner. The AIS is still in place and I have a blanking kit for that as well so may do that whilst I have the tank off. Not because I removing it makes any difference to performance I gather the main reason is ease of access to the spark plugs?
Any advice, apart from foc off , is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I'm looking into buying an FZS600 that has been off road a while.
I asked for the reg so I could run a check on it and it's coming back as a different colour, it is a 1999 bike but shows as registered in 2012.
In the special notes at the bottom it says 'Was registered and/or used elsewhere in the UK. Declared manufactured in 1999'.
Date of registration is 1999, date of first registration in the UK is 2012, does this make it an import?
I was thinking maybe Guernsey or Jersey or possibly France?
It's also on the V5 that the body type is Scooter Combination, and taxation class is Bicycle, can someone confirm what these should be for an FZS600? I thought they were Sports Tourer or something like that?
Just want to clear these things up before I commit to anything and to ask if anyone knows if the details are wrong can it be easily changed?
Thanks in advance.
