Just a quick intro, been riding a cb500s for the past 5 years, finally decided it was time to get rid of it, so this morning went and put a deposit on a 2001, 25000 mile fazer 600 in gold. Will be collecting it soon as my Honda has gone, hopefully before next weekend. Give me a wave if yo see me around Sheffield

think I've been collared by a scamera van today, looked on google maps at where he was and he's on a single yellow line but I'll have to go down and see if there's a quantifying plate on the roadside or can the Police park where they like?
I didn't think they could operate outside of the law to catch you but we're talking about traffic here, not catching threats to the State!

have tried attaching an image of the area but if anyone knows the area around the new tunnel on Scotland Rd Liverpool, he was parked at the bottom of Juvenal St where it meets Scotty Rd. There's a fixed camera further back up the road where there's a built up area but the road opens up where the tunnel egress road comes onto Scotty. Can only think this is a pure revenue scam as no pedestrians cross the road here (railings across bottom of Juvenal St and no crossing across Scotty

about 50 in a 30 so expecting a NIP if he's got me

Been a long time lurker on the site. I've been toying with a Gen 1, Fazer thou ever since the banter days of me owning a hornet. I never quite found the right one at the right time though.


Anyway, I've not had a bike for 6 months or so, and have withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately with a son in Uni, my budget is a bit limited.


I have found a '54 reg Gen 1, grey with black engine model, that I can get for £2000 delivered from a dealer. (i can't seem to upload an image, i'll try a link)

The bike has done 60k miles but looks in above average condition for that amount. There is no documented service history, but a bit encouragingly, the previous owner paid for a major service at a main dealer that included valve clearances etc. 12 month MOT, akrapovic exhaust, hpi clear. I've been assured the bike runs really well.


I've never bought a bike without seeing it, but I'm just not going to be able to get to see it.


I know that if looked after the bikes will eat that sort of mileage, I guess I'm after a bit of reassurance, lol


Does it seem reasonable?? thanks in advance.

Just wondering if I should use this in tonight's meal.
coq au vin ? what do you reckon

set of fazer 1000 gen1 carb to head rubbers in good condition no cracks £55 posted in uk

I've been looking at a few of these on eBay, and the newer 'silver dot' ones seem to be cheaper than the blue dots...

does anyone know if these will fit a boxeye Fazer OK?

So I "won" a free dyno power run... the bike is 17 years old... and i was hoping for a solid 85 bhp.... how wrong I was.. shes running 80.65 bhp... Not a bad number but would have liked to have seen better..
Now here's the problem, the air/fuel mixture seems to go mad at 5000 revs. The guy running the dyno has suggested a new air filter as a quick cheap fix. Poor guy had long queue so I did not ask more questions.
Can anybody think of anything that could help solve the problem?
Bike is a 2000 fzs 600, only change is aftermarket exhaust.
Cheers.

Alright chaps,
Names Scott and im from Northumberland. Had my 2001 Fazer for about 2 years now and love it. Done the norm since I've had it, new end can, K&N filter, clear lenses, chain and sprocket. Looking to add new bars and levers soon.

Please pm me if you have one available.


Thanks

Curious as to the effects on the engine when having pinched fuel tank Vacuum pipes? And how to create a straight route from the tank base to the floor with causing this issue?
