Good Afternoon chaps (and chappets?)


Just thought i'd introduce myself before making my request for help post.


My name is Alex, been riding around 11 years, love the offroad scene (4 wheels) and obviously enjoy biking, among other things shooting too!


Hopefully get to know a few on here 

Hi, does anyone have a 22" National Cycles V-stream screen for a gen1 fazer 1000 - in good condition - for sale please? Thanks

Any body used them before. I need to get a new helmet and wet weather gear. Any comments will be appreciated.

Need a bagalux tank cover for my old 2007 MT-03 as this bike has a plastic tank my magnetic tank bag is no good  :rollin

Good afternoon guys,

Just a quick introduction.  I used to frequent this amazing site, but have to admit I haven't been on here for probably 7/8 years.  I cannot adduce my account details for love nor money, and the fact that the site allowed me to register with my age-old email address suggests my account was removed due to inactivity.

I have owned this bike for nearly 12 years.  It has taken me to Rome, Barcelona, Milan, San Marino, Paris, and an array of places in between.  It is an amazing bike, but quite simply it has hardly left my garage for 5 years.  Looking back at the MOT history, I can see it's done about 1000 miles in the last 5 years.  Two reasons for this; firstly I have a 5 year old little girl and don't have the spare time to go touring, and secondly I have an R1 track bike that I use for my adrenaline hit.

I have been making excuses for years not to sell it - maybe I will go touring again, or maybe my car will break down and I need to use it for work etc.  The time has finally come to part ways.  I'm going to be very honest in my advert below so as not to waste anyone's time.

UPDATED to show new MOT expiry date and new brake piston seals

Bike Make :  Yamaha

Bike Model :  FZS 1000

Year :  2002

Price : £2,000 - no offers now it has a new MOT

MOT/Tax : MOT expires 18/04/2018.

Mileage : 26,712

Colour : Black

THE GOOD

- New front caliper piston seals a couple of weeks ago with fluid change
- Fork and rear shock overhaul by Revs racing about 2k miles ago.  Forks were powder coated satin black at the same time
- Coolant change a few weeks ago
- Official Givi top box and pannier rack.  42 litre Givi top box and two 36 litre Givi panniers
- Double bubble touring screen
- Renthal touring bars
- HEL braided hoses front and rear
- Rear hugger
- New brake pads all round, oil change, filter etc about 200 miles ago
- New front tyre about 80 miles old
- 3.5mm tread on the centre of the rear tyre
- Stage 1 Ivans jet kit
- Working exup valve
- Loads of nice little extra details, like titanium bolts, wheel rim stickers, custom footpegs, black levers, indicators.  All the usual stuff people do when they love a bike
- Pearlescent black paint in great condition.  I had a low speed accident about 6/7 years ago.  No major damage, but required a respray.  Repaired myself for about £400 and no MIAFTR registration

THE BAD

- Engine paint is flaking
- This is a 15 year old bike.  It's been garaged, but it is starting to look tired.  I was tempted to overhaul it over the winter, but I spent the time on the track bike instead.  It would look amazing again if someone was to spend some time on it
- Neutral light doesn't work
- Sat Nav cradle not included

Bike Location :  Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, West Midlands

Any Other Relevant Info :  There's a whole box full of extras which will go with the bike.  Screen, indicators, bolts, levers.  I think there is even a set of heated grips in there.  Lots of stuff.

Contact details:  07709496495.  I get a lot of PPI and cold calls, so please don't get offended if I don't answer.  Please leave a voicemail or drop me a text and I will give you a call back.  Please don't PM me on here as I will probably not check for messages.

Thank you for looking!

Nice chrome rad cover, was previously fitted to my 2002 Foxeye FZS600.
Superb condition, bolts on simply, looks good and adds protection.
£25, can post if required or collect. I'm in Grimsby Lincs.

Full Givi Monokey pannier frame & Topbox plate for Yamaha FZS600
WingRack2 and fitting kit for FZS600 (came off my 2002 Foxeye).
Suitable for Monokey boxes.. (not included).
Has the handy addition of indicators included in the pannier frames, plus top plate for top box.
I used it with three big cases and the bike remained stable. Would benefit from re-spray, but perfectly sound and useable as-is.
Fazer 600 fitting kits are no longer available from Givi, and rarely appear on eBay.
Obviously they're quite a weight to post, so collection would be best (plus you can have a proper look, and maybe even bolt it on while you're here) but can post out if required.
Further pics availablef required.
I'm in Grimsby, Nth Lincs.

My insurance  is coming  up for renewal,  I always  tell my insurance  company  everything  about  my bike. Having  talked  to my mates I was surprised  to hear that many of them don't mention  any mods to there bike like aftermarket  exhaust system, suspension etc. My mechanic  says that the price of a aftermarket  exhaust system  is a lot cheaper  than a OEM one so why tell them as the performance  is not a big difference.  I have a R6 shock  and a aftermarket  exhaust system so will tell them,but from experience you have a right  job trying  to explain  to a sales  person  what you have and why you fitted it, and half  the time it does not fit in side there nice  little box of rules.Just wondering  how many of you getting on and how  much  you tell them. No I do not work  for a insurance company.

Yer Maun, Joey Dunlop would have been 65 on Saturday.
His Road Racing genius surpassed only by his humanity.
A guy who in his spare time would load up a van with aid, and drive across Europe to deliver it.
Top bloke. RIP Joey.

I bought the bike new in 2009 then 14 months later I had to sell it due to temporarily having no work. I always regretted it as I could have scraped by and kept it but I did the sensible thing, A friend of mine bought it and has had it ever since. sold with about 6000 miles and now I've bought it back with just under 32000 miles. It has been very well looked after and looks like it's done much less miles than it has. It's got a full service history inc valve clearances so nothing to do but ride it 
I have other bikes now as well but I'll use this one for any longer trips I plan. I'm happy now it's home and I can finish what I started 

Picture is of when I had it first time, when I owned it then I had the fairing lower and the Yam belly pan, he sold the lowers on and kept the belly pan but don't have any pics of it now, although it looks the same (just with belly pan).
