Just a heads up in case anyone is interested. It’s Yamaha Day at The Ace Cafe on Sunday 27th April, starting at 9am.

For sale. My 2002 Fazer, 75k miles, MOT March 2026. I’ve used this bike since 2005 when I bought it and toured Europe and UK since. It’s not getting ridden much now so rather someone used it. I have all original parts including exhaust, rear mudguard, levers, etc. Serviced regularly by myself with a schedule of all that’s been done. Just replaced chain, sprockets, recent discs and pads, all bearings. YSS rearshock, forks rebuilt and rechromed. Good Michelin 6 tyres, ready to tour including panniers.
£1800.00 - 07702608566 message for more info.
       

All,

I'm seeking to install a 12v positive feed for a USB outlet on my trusty Fazer Thou.

The kit can of course be attached direct to the battery, but I'd rather splice into a positive feed via a soldered joint - have done this before on a VFR800 on the rear brake light circuit. 

Is there something super accessible in the front fairing? What have others done?

Thanks

I purchased this yoshimura oval exhaust for my fzs 1000 as I was getting impatient for my new triovals arrival... the day I bought this my order updated and the trioval turned up not long after.

So I'm just trying to get what it owes me....

£200

Would consider trades though for shiny bits or rare parts....

Happy to chat

Located BD19 but willing to post

I'm a 50inch chest & jacket is snug on me.

Imho sizing charts are mostly way off, but RST are pretty close to sizes shown on labels.

Only worn em a couple of times, so leather still needs breaking in & will give with use

I'd rather not post due to weight of 12LB (Jacket & Pants)
So prefer to wait for a buyer that can collect, try on before purchase etc.

Leather & both knee sliders are unmarked, all zips/velcro are in as new condition.
Jacket has OEM removable armour in shoulder/elbows (back protector not included).
Pants have OEM removable armour in hips, knee sliders (included)

I'm realistic & don't expect a potential buyer to want or need both jacket & pants, so willing to split if required.

Priced to sell, no offers please, these are cheap & as new, only selling as I can't get on with heavy leather bike gear.
Plenty more pics available via email as forum has a 4 pic max limit.

I'm located near Barnsley S/Yorks.

Looking for a new clutch cable for my 2002 fzs1000, are aftermarket ones ok ?

All,

I have the standard silencer on my '03 Fazer Thou.

Tempted by a replacement road legal end can. New or used - that said a Black Widow is only £125.

Any discernable improvement in performance? A friend with a Fazer 1000 advised she saw reduced fuel consumption.

Guidance welcome.

Thanks

Hey everyone , 

I didn't ride at all last year, just had too much on, other life and work stuff got in the way of getting the Fazer up and running,

So I've been busy getting her ready for MOT on the 1st of April, new tyres, brakes refurbed, service ect 

This is my second fzs600 and first time with this one changing chain and sprockets , I got the new 12mm front sprocket nut the other day as this still had the old 9mm fitted (1998 bike with 16000miles on her and no sign of output shaft thread damage) and the book says 70nm torque setting, would you recommend sticking to that or anything different?

Also rear sprocket bolts they say 60nm, sounds about right huh?

Decent pair of 21 litre panniers, have a more robust plastic construction than the e22 cases that replaced them. Very useful if you're not bringing the kitchen sink along on tour and not much wider than the handlebars. Fits the Fazer's side rack setup and older Fazer 600 wingracks. Panniers come with two keys and have the usual marks from light usage.

£85 inc post - UK postage only, thanks.


RHS view on my old FZS1000

Hi All,

Looking for a bit of advice or maybe a part if it ends up that way (will make a separate post in the proper category if it does.)

Had a major service done on my bike and following that the clutch started slipping under hard acceleration, lower threshold when colder (i.e. took less to make slip when less heat in the engine/box). Adjusted the cable to have proper play in it, have drained and replaced the oil with motul 10w40 and still no dice. Bit the bullet and ordered plates and springs to do the jobs lot while it was apart and found this.       

Had my eureka moment until I took the pressure plate off and found this 
   

So now I'm torn, in an ideal world I'd like to get a replacement inner basket but I can't find one for love nor money but on the other hand i'm wondering if 5 springs/bolts is still sufficient and just chuck the new plates and springs in and be done with it. 

Any thoughts or guidance is appreciated
