My fazer spat the dummy today as im getting a new bike tomorrow... Im not long back from a 1000 mile bike ride and took the bike to get it mot'd. I pulled up and noticed a puddle of ever increasing coolant hit the road.... Does anyone know the part no for this hose. It comes out the back of the cylinder block and attaches to a spigot going into waterpump.

My wife's best mate (the one I tried to hook you 'orrible lot up with a while back) passed her bike test the other week.  At present she's still got her 125 Varadero but is going "big bike" shopping soon - and yes, I've mentioned a Fazer to her....... LOTS


Anyway, I digress, work has been tough recently so she's taken some leave and has ridden to Skye from South London on her 125  :eek


First day she rode to Glasgow and stayed over.
Second day she rode to Skye via Loch Lomand and For William, she's now spending some time bimbling about in very mixed weather.  Says she's loving it.


Blooming fair play to her, all that way, on her own, on a 125!  I'm not envious at all, honest!

Looking to see if intrest in my fzs600 boxeye in blue

Reasonable condition, standard all around aside from End Can, HyperPro Springs, and Braided Lines

reason for sale just not used any more, was a good first bike for me a few years back but no more

20K ish miles, MOT due this week so should hopefully pass with clean bill of health
 














NB - You can see the inner Clamp is reversed, this is where i had to get a engine shop to drill into a blank as i tried to remove the old stud and could not








Small dent in tank, literally from where i think bars have hit it at some point, not sure, and light scuff on fairing....

Had issue with snapped exhaust stud, ended up with Cylinder head off and repaired at engine shop by drilling into a blank opposite, no issues since and no corrosion on the studs as all replaced, well looked after

Treated with hammerite as needed.....etc

Did have R6 shock on but removed - might sell but may also re-use

Rear tyre loads left literally done a few hundred miles....nice end can etc

Calipers re-built by powerhouse, all smooth, front and rear, new seals etc the lot no rust on pistions

Rear end stripped and re-greased i.e. swingarm pivot back....

No issues with leaking for seals, no funny noises from timing chains etc, runs real nice, starts on the button

New battery also purchased for it when i got it so not original old one but 3 years old...

Been garaged, has been ridden in all weather no reason not too.

As said, good condition, not a minter, but ideal first bike, i just do not use, MOT check will show that i.e. low milage etc, 1500 miles between 2015 MOT and one i tried to get recently but failed due to brakes and electrical issue on headstock harness, brakes serviced and new headstock wiring loom fitted so expext MOT pass

Wont sell without one, so still may not sell if not happy etc....

Location North East - Durham

I am in need of an engine for my 2003 FZS 1000. :-(


Has anyone got one available?  Have seen a few on ebay but hoping to get one a bit cheaper.


Cheers.

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
