Got Renthal 758 bars and would like the mediums - anyone got the mediums and want the ultra low?

Bought mine about a year or so ago, but have only been out about half a dozen times, so they are pretty much new condition. Didn't put the grip stay hole in them.

Piccies




They are great bars but I have difficulty with my hands - I actually find my right arm goes to sleep on even short journeys and I feel a lot more comfy sat more upright (but that's no good for fun speeds).

Anyone want a swap? Otherwise they will be for sale, cos I don't want to use raisers. As can be seen in the pics, I've rotated them backwards a bit to make them a little closer, but they are just too low for me. I was happy when I bought them, but my body bits are getting more buggered with age.

So if ya want to buy the 758s, sensible offers would be considered.

ok so after a post last week and my bearing issues i thought i would start a ongoing link of bearing sizes
please only post actual sizes no jokes etc unless you KNOW a post is inaccurate
please add the year of your bike as although it is likely the same a quick check through fowlers will tell you if its the same part code
- i am a big fan of SKF bearings and would advise that is the route to go


"2000 5dm7"

Rear wheel bearings  - 6204 2RS

Sprocket carrier bearing - 6206 2RS  - mine had a 6206RS which is only one seal and it truely shit the bed

Hiya,


My names Mat and I currently own a Gen 1 FZS1000 which I love, I have owned it for around 8 years and its in a bit of a sorry state now. The time has come to resurrect it and get it back to its former glory.

So i'm probably about to fire the engine for the first time tomorrow following a cam chain replacement and the deepest engine work I have ever attempted. Today I checked the valve timing as I have had the cams out (all just within spec) and after a few beers this evening something hit me:


Given that the crankshaft turns 720 degrees in one full rotation of the engine, when I re-installed the cams at TDC for piston 1, how do I know it's at TDC for piston 1 and not piston 3? Then I remembered that the HT leads are divided between 1+3 and 2+4. Does this mean that 1 and 3 spark at the same time regardless of whether the piston is in compression or power stroke? If so then it only matters that the cam chain dots lined up with the markings on the engine whilst the crankshaft is at TDC as the spark plugs spark twice per 720 degree rotation.


Or I could be wrong and tomorrow it will blow up.

Just to say hello chaps got me new bike last Monday loads of things to do it it 

Went to get my workshop hoover from the garage this morning only to find ,what I think is mice , have taken a liking to the filter , also on thier menu is ,a sponge and large chunks of storage blankets , looks like they have made a nest in my classic car , managed to catch a little one and spotted what I think is the mum but couldnt catch her , both my fazers share the same garage , are they under threat ?............off to get some poison but not sure what to get or if anyone will sell me any in this crazy world we now live in.......any advice on evicting these unwanted guests greatly received    :thumbup

i have a gen 1 1000  2001 with 32000 miles. It starts fine and runs fine until it gets hot. And the when it’s ticking over it starts hunting and eventually dies. I can adjust the tick over and it’s fine for a while then starts to die again it’s gradual. It starts again with no problems after it cuts out. It has been in the garage twice carbs been off and cleaned and a full service, and ideas or suggestions please.

If you leave the bike to cool down when you start it again it races because I have adjusted the tick over up. If I adjust it back down it’s fine then until it gets hot again.

Hey i today I went for a little blast and noticed and strange whining noise coming from the front sprocket area that changes in pitch with speed , I can hear it above 40 onwards , do I need to worry or could this just be worn chain and sprockets ?


Chain looks fine because i clean and oil regularly.


Worried about a gearbox issue but the noise stays the same with clutch in or out
