Hi all


Recently I unfortunately came off my bike and damaged the crankcase cover (not enough to not be able to ride the bike) so I brought a new crankcase cover however it didn't come with the bearings (Attached photo highlights where the bearing is supposed to be in the crankcase cover) I can't take the current crankcase cover off and get the old bearing out as it isn't possible without further damaging the cover, nor can I just go to a bearing shop and ask them to make the bearings as I do not know the measurements.


Does anyone know where I can get hold of this bearing for the crankcase cover? or does anyone know the measurements or what I would have to tell a bearing shop to make?


The bike is going in for repair soon so I really need to hurry up and get hold of this part.


Thanks in advance

Hello all,

I have decided to convert my boxeye fzs600 into a dedicated track bike. She was originally purchased as my first bike but as all first bikes do eventually found herself sliding down the road.
Ever since she had been sat in my garage having replaced her after the 'fall'. I discovered the track last year and after a few trackdays had visions of doing the same again on my shiny road bike and thought i'd put the old girl to good use.
She's almost completely standard; she has upgraded front pads, Black Widow downpipes and a Renthal bar. Despite this i still managed a fairly consistent ~2:05 around Cadwell on the 5th.
Over the winter a friend stripped her down including the engine, replaced the head and made sure she wouldn't go pop on her first outing. As you will see below there's already been some bodywork stripping too.
The idea behind this is that if i can learn to be quick on a bike like this then i can be quick on whatever will replace her when she dies as well as all my track craft.

Planned upgrades are:

• Replace the bar with clip ons
  
• R6 front radial brake master cylinder
  
• Braided brake lines
  
• Linear fork springs & 15w oil
  
• Upgraded rear shock spring / new monoshock
  
• Adjust the footpegs without spending £300 on rearsets ( already grounding the pegs)
  
• Pod filters and jets
  
• Replace the standard exhaust can
  
• Any weight savings as and when
  
• Magically easy way of fitting a 180 rear (please?)
  
• Replace the clocks with just a tachometer and oil + neutral lights
  

Passed MOT with flying colours, but tester noticed a crack in my centrestand at the lower brace joint. It's only a small crack on a bit of a rusty spot and could be welded up - but I'd prefer to fit one in better nick.

I blame the shorter dog bones...

I'm in S Lincs, but can arrange collection as ness.

Chars.

I’ve decided to do something with my 2001 fazer. Just to keep me busy, give me a headache, and fill my brains with thoughts that I don’t have time for.  


 
I’ve always liked the look of cafe racers, scramblers, Rat, and brat bikes. So, the plan is to build something lovely looking. I’m not much of a speed guy, I prefer to cruise.
 


 
I know a couple of guys on here have built scramblers (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,23400.0.html) so I’d really like to chat about the process with then. I’m looking to put Continental TKC80’s, stick air pods on, scrambler seat, take off the front, etc.

This is something I’m going for...

So the first question I’ve got is, what replacement for the dials have people done?

Not sure if it is nation wide but aldi are flogging wd40 brand chain lube and chain wax for a quid a tin.

Hello Guys.
I don´t have the original tool kit. I wish to adjust the rear shock. How can I do it without the the wrench that was on the tool kit? Do you use any conventional wrench without damaging the shock?
Suggestions accepted.
Thanks

Thought I'd sort out a tool kit to keep on the Fazer today, so got out the kit I used to carry under the seat on my old GS500 and...

[smg id=3128]

The tray under the seat of the GS was pretty bad; it'd end up with water and dirt from the road under it sometimes. So the tools were wrapped in plastic bags (which wore through) and then a rag, which mostly kept water /in/ rather than out from the looks of it.

The fazer under-seat tray looks clean, so hopefully I'm already ahead, but any bright ideas on bags/etc for storing tools in which might actually keep them dry? Ideally ones which could keep a thin mist of oil inside them too.

Thanks

Remember that feeling when you were a kid waiting for Santa to bounce you up and down on his knee? Oh, no, sorry that's a different story. Remember waking up on Christmas morning and you couldn't wait to open those prezzies.
Well it's Christmas day today for me - collect my (new to me) Fazer :lol :rollin 8)
Having not had a bike for 25 years (and never having owned a Yammie) this is like Christmas. Yes weather is like Xmas too - pissing down!! Still won't dampen the spirits - yeeeehhhaaaa!

What is that?
