Had my Gen1 Fazer for 18 months now, so today I began the long overdue exhaust refurbishment. (the skanky photos need no explanation ...)
First two attempts with a hand socket wrench only served to shear the studs off. (Disappointing, but kinda expected). Then I decided to try my Impact driver – which I originally thought was a bit too heavy-duty for the 8mm studs. Turns out that each one came off fine, some with nut alone, others with the whole stud. (And I now have a lot more faith in my impact driver, ie, not just for wheel nuts !)
So here’s my question:  I have now removed all the flanges, and also the Exup cables, mid-lower mounting, and link pipe/ tailpiece. As far as I can see, there should be nothing left holding the headers in place. Is there some fancy trick to this… they seem rock solid…. Or is it just a question of wiggle, wiggle, & more wiggle. Is there something that I’m missing ?

Causing me a major header-ache …  :lol

Fazer 600 needs a new end can. The original one has rusted where the link pipe connects and ups in size to the end can.


I was thinking the 350mm stainless round Fuel one.


Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi all,

Was riding home on the M25 yesterday when the dreaded red temperature warning light came on.  I stopped at the services and the engine was clearly hot (steaming in the pissing rain), but once it had cooled down I checked the coolant and it was up to level in both the rad and the overflow. I carried on my merry way and was ok for 10 minutes or so before I got the red light of doom again. I didn't want to risk it so I pulled over for recovery.

I need to do some proper diagnosis to try and find the problem.  The battery is currently charging from having the indicator on for hours waiting for RAC, but will get it started in daylight when I can and try to find a leak with the engine running.  Assuming I'm lucky and it is just a leak from a hose/pipe or radiator (seems that way as I can see some spots of coolant on the engine and the radiator does look a bit haggard), rather than a water pump or head gasket failure, does anyone have a link to a radiator they've bought recently that fits straight out of the box?  I saw a few posts a while ago where people had ordered replacement rads but the inlet/outlet pipes didn't line up properly on the bike.

Hey guys,


Im installing a plug & play gear indicator, just need to find where the cam sensor is, or how does it look?


Trying to google, but had to give up.

OK, I know we can be a pack of miserable foccers but today I feel good because I went out in the cold and bled my car brakes.... What's so good about that you ask?....well I thought I needed to fit a new servo or master cylinder which would have been a complete pita.
So, feeling good.
What made you feel good today?..(not expecting a busy thread!)
Come on guys... pretend to be happy...

D

What purpose do these screws, one in each down pipe, serve?.

Thanking you all kindly

Ok, so I took off the servo motor for my Fazer 1000 gen 1 about 3 years ago and I cant remember where it went or in what orientation. Has anyone got a photo of the position of the thing.

Thanks.

Greetings,


I have a strange issue with my '99 FZS600 where it starts, rides normally, everything works for a while after which it suddenly cuts out - any gear, any speed, throttling up or down, doesn't matter - the time just comes, engine cuts out and leaves me stranded for about 3-5 minutes, where if I press the starter button, the oil and fuel warning lights come up, as they would when starting with the kill switch in the off position. After 3-5 minutes it just starts up normally again like nothing happened and the process is repeated.


Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I suspect either the cutoff relay or perhaps the pickup coil by looking at the circuit diagram, but your input would be appreciated!

Sent for some lovely looking levers off ebay, cnc and made in the UK. The ad read that they were in stock and if not could be manufactured in two weeks, cool away goes my order. On the delivery day no levers so I contact the firm and ask if there is an issue. The reply was they have not yet made them, so I ask them why not as they have had a month from the order date to get them sorted and re read their ad back at them. This morning I get an email asking me to cancel my order. It's not like they don't do them any more as they are still advertising them I can only guess they threw the dummy out of the pram because I had the nerve to ask them what was going on. Rant over.
