Okay so bought a MT09 and very happy with it but I have made a bit of a cock up.
I have managed to jam the seat, I have removed it once before when I checked the bike over and I think I did not locate it correctly when putting it back on. :o .[size=78%] I turn the key and lift and pull backwards like you are meant to but it only moves about 5mm then it is solid. [/size]
I have tried thumping it and wiggling a piece of metal rod about underneath the gap in vain hope but the bugger is stuck.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
I have tried to post this on the MT09 forum but even though I am a member when I try to post on the forum it just keeps telling me I have not done the image capture correctly, after 5 goes I gave up
Why does there seem to be two Yamaha owners handbooks for the Fazer Fzs1000? The book i got with my bike (2004) has a part number prefix, 1C2, but there seems to be one with the prefix 5LV which seems to have more pages. ( There is a 5LV prefix one on the bay now which is said to cover all the Fzs1000 models 2001-5) I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this which you learned guys will know.
SORRY, JUST REALIZED I HAVE STUCK THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION! :o Could someone in authority move it for me please. Thank you.
As above I'm after a centre stand with the required spring and bolts to fit a gen 1 thou '02. I also require an ignition barrel as mine is too worn to reliable anymore, I would take just the ignition but I wouldn't say know to a complete matching lock set.
Hey up Foccers, I put a new rear tyre on yesterday, when I asked about balancing he said I would need to strip brake disc and drive cog off first, is he speaking shit or am I worrying over nothing just a question for future reference as next time then I'll probably renew both items whilst all stripped.
Probably not one for the purists - A monster amalgamation of some of my previous Yamaha toys - although it was frustrating on many an occasion. It took nearly 18 months to go from my photoshop idea to reality, but thats because I have a day job & a family, so spare time comes at a premium.
Fazer 1000 Gen 1 Engine & Frame, now backdated a bit, with Tail End frame mods to fit seat & rear cowl from a YZF 750 (circa 1995), and Front subframe mods to fit the Fairing & Headlights from an FZ 750 (circa 1985), but keeping the original clocks.
Retro - No ABS, no traction control, no chip-controlled throttle, no electronic fuel injection, no ride control modes, …
Pure Sports - Twist it, feel it, ride it ….. simple. And I love it.
By the way, I have the original parts available if anyone is looking to repair their Fazer Gen 1 ….
Front: Fairing, Screen, Headlights, Front subframe, Fairing inners.
Rear: Seat, Rear Cowling, Tail lights, Exhaust (slip-on only), seat lock & cable assembly.
Does anyone here have a gen 2 with removed or modded secondary flies?
I'm just Interested to know if it made a noticable difference?
Same with velocity stacks.
Suns coming out and I'm getting back in the mood for some more mods haha
