Ive decided it will be much cheaper in the long run to sell my cosmetically challenged Gen 1 Fazer 1000 cheap, and buy a better one.
I keep looking at bikes to replace my trusty old girl, but I just keep coming back to the fact that I cant think of a better or more suitable bike for me than a Gen 1 Fazer 1000, I'm not even that keen on a Gen 2, they look a bit too modern for me.
Now I know these come up for sale on here occasionally coz I've seen em, I want a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 with and R6 or quality shock, fully Ivanised with all the air injection gubbins removed with less than 40K miles on it.
I know this may be asking a lot, but the last thing I need is to go away on holiday next week only to return and find one has been put up for sale and sold.
So, if you are thinking of selling your modded Fazer 1000 (even if its going to be in a week/month/few months time) please get in touch with me before you throw it on ebay etc.
I now invite everyone to take the p*ss out of my request.
Two best pal bikers (I'll call them A and B), are out for their weekly evening rideout, over a familiar route. The lead rider,(A), approaches a roundabout, checks his mirror to make sure (B) is with him, only to discover he's not. After a brief wait (A) backtracks and comes across an RTA which has claimed the life of (B). Several days later, rider (A) is given an appointment date to attend a police station and advised to bring a solicitor with him.
Is this the normal procedure when an RTA is fatal, or could he be charged with some offense. Your thoughts please.
<blockquote>1997 Honda FireBlade RRV. One owner (me) from new, 28k miles.
Contrary to good selling practice I'm going to list the bad points first. RHS has some minor fairing marks and indicator hole has 2 x 5 mm cracks. (Pictures if reqd.) PSH up to 16k (4 years then serviced by me), original suspension and chain & sprockets (it has had that easy life), minor corrosion on the exhaust, MOT has expired, few normal marks from use (she is 20 years old). RHS fork seal has slight weep. Sorned.
Now the good points.
Always garaged, never ridden in the winter, never wheelied, all original paperwork from new. In the last 1000 miles she has had new tyres (BT 016, brilliant tyres), battery (yuasa), brake pads, spark plugs, air filter (Honda), oil and filter (Honda), All old MOT certs, Datatag (paperwork) Datatool Veto Evo 3 + original 2 fobs (paperwork), both original keys, renntec sports rack, Remus Grand Prix Oval carbon can (not fitted), tinted screen (original supplied), mini indicators (originals supplied), hugger, scottoiler from new. Lives on an Oxford Optimiser, starts on the button and purrs like a Honda should.. She has never been in an accident or down the road, the levers are original and the engine cases unmarked. The engine is as it left the factory. Haynes manual.
I have a load of pictures that I can send should anyone be interested. Most of you will disagree with this but the engine makes a Fazer sound rough (controversial thing to say on a Fazer forum). These are an appreciating asset now but she is hardly ridden and that's what bikes are for. Medical issue forces sale but I'm in no rush, if you are interested the best thing to do is ring me and I will give a %100 honest appraisal of my bike, I have owned her for 20 years so this is a very reluctant sale.<blockquote>£1500 absolutely 100% fixed price.</blockquote></blockquote>
Want to do a USD fork Swap on my FZS600, but cant seem to find a easy swap..?
I have checked www.allballbearings.com, but it only shows USD swap matches for the 02 YZF600R Thundercat, which might be similar or even the same as the FZS since they share Haynes Manual??
I am also looking for a single side svingarm swap.
I appreciate all the help I can get and i really hope for a simple and easy solution.
Hello, I've just turned 24 I'm 6'2-3 and a competent rider on smaller bikes. I just want to know really if an FZ6 is going to be big enough and fast enough for me. I'd like to be able to keep up with my mate on his R6. I'd like a sports bike but nothing I've tried really suits my build. I wan't to know if the FZ6 has enough power to keep me happy for a year or two. And if so are there any for sale in here?
Its a bit of a long shot, but I can always dream, and it doesnt hurt to spread the advertising! Someone may have use for it!
Having decided I cant be bothered with the hassle of nakeding the Fazer Ive gone and bought a Bandit 1200S instead. Please forgive me. :'( Perhaps someone here can make my Fazer live on!
As title says, just discovered a bug screw embedded into the middle of my rear tyre?!! Hadent noticed as there is no loss in pressure? Could this be repaired or am i looking at a new rear hoop....?
As Title, loving my thou but this niggle is doing my head in, bike is 04 with 60k on it, full service recently and clutch strip assemble all good, new clutch cable, Ivans Full monty goes well,
seems to happen when over 4000rpm changing down from 6/5/4/3 when clutch pulled in the rps stick for a second then drop, changing up is a dream short shifting or with clutch pulled, seems worse when bike is warm and better at low rpm's. throttle cable is good and not sticking neither is the clutch cable. you have to plan well ahead when changing down and to allow for that second before the rpms finally drop to change gear,
Thanks for any advice in advance, Motul semi synth 5100 a month ago.
Mark.
