I’ve got a 2005 FZS1000S (9500 miles) which was stored in a dry garage for about 3 years whilst I did other things.
I’ve just put it back on the road and it feels like its running out of fuel below 3k (sounds like a Subaru) before sort of clearing its throat.
It goes up to about 80mph OK but doesn’t feel like its as powerful as it used to be.
I’ve changed the plugs, serviced the EXUP (the valve was sticking so I hoped that was the problem, but it wasn’t).
I’ve let the fuel drain down and added some fresh fuel and that didn’t make any difference and I removed the air filter and sprayed some carb cleaner into air box again making no difference.
All the hoses seem in good condition and theres nothing obviously wrong.
I’ve decided I’m not really getting anywhere so plan to let a workshop have a look at it.


Does anyone have a recommendation of a workshop in the Bristol area ?
I live in Thornbury and I’d prefer them to pick up too if possible.

Tickets went on sale today - last weekend in January 2018.

Looking to pickup all the Service items, to give the Fazer a well earned treat.
Are there preferred Service items to look for, which are known to work extremely well in the FZS Fazer ?

For example - will I see better gains (engine responsiveness / efficiency) running a K&N Air filter, over a regular (much cheaper) filter?
Also Spark plugs and Oil - anything that stands out?

Thanks in advance.

Will hand grab rail from 1000 02 fit 600 02?
I think they look better on the 1000

Hi,


I have a spare pair of the Givi Mounting bars which suit the Gen 1 Fazer 1000.


These could be used to mount the Givi Top Box and Universal plate I currently have advertised on EBay - I'm Bikeownerus residing in mid-Beds (MK45).


Happy to sell these bars for a minimal amount if they help anyone?


Thanks

Due to my father in law making an offer for me to buy his FZ1 that I can't refuse, I am now selling my fazer 1000.  It runs well, but cosmetically isn't prefect.  Crack and small hole in the right hand side inner fairing inserts, scrape to right hand fairing and headlight and very small chip in the tank paint where the previous owner dropped it. Left hand crank case discoloured from small fuel spillage during carb removal for Ivanising. (should be visible in the photos).  There is also no cover over the exup valve bolts - all works fine though as Mike found no issues with it's function when Ivanising.


Specs:
40k on clock
flip up brake and clutch levers
full monty Ivans kit fitted by Mike in August
aftermarket can (obviously) - standard will also come with the bike
aftermarket rack (standard grab handles will also come with the bike)
clutch friction plates and springs just replaced with EBC heavy duty items (oil and filter done at the same time)
valves done at 28k
rear tyre has only done a couple of hundred miles max
will be MOT'd prior to sale

Was thinking of £1600 for anyone on here (will be advertising for a bit more elsewhere)

I'm trying to get my crashed Fazer back on the road, the right side of the crank cases have cracked where the starter clutch cover bolt goes. Will it leak oil from the starter clutch area? If oil is not supplied to this area I guess I can just use something like JB weld?


Edit: you can see the cracked crankcases at the bottom left of the starter clutch cover.

Hi All, I have a very irritating misfire or carb issue most evident at about 5,000 RPM in top gear (around 60 mph) . If I try and change down to blast past it it doesn't work. It's like riding a restricted bike!! Please help. So far I have tried replacing the fuel tank breather hoses and changed the plugs but no good. Oh and I seem to be down around 50 miles on a tank of fuel. Please can anyone suggest what my next best move could be? Many thanks!
