Fazer wanted for me to use to commute and ride out close to somerset. Money needs to be close to £1500 but anything considered. The sooner the better as i am starting a new job this month and travelling by car is not n option.

What is out there???????????

Last night was first time I tried the centre stand on my Fazer, needed wheels off to fit tyres!!

I thought it was me (5ft7 but medium build) but my 6ft 2 son also struggled to get it up onto the centre stand?

Are they all like this? I may have to get a set of weights and bench Lol

Can anyone suggest a sure fire method of tightening the yoke nut in such a way that it doesn't put a slight twist on the top yoke leaving you with a skewed handlebar? I'm on my third 're-tighten' since replacing head bearings and I've nearly got it straight but it's still tipped to the right a bit, obviously pulled round by the tightening torque. It's not a disaster, just annoying.
I'll get it right sooner or later but my method of deliberately skewing the handlebars to the left before tightening is a bit crude. Has anyone got a better method?

So I'm on an A2 licence at the moment and would be very great full if any of you good folk could tell me what deal is with proof of restriction? Do I need a certificate? Can I legally fit it myself and write up a very myself etc..
I have no problem fitting myself just need info about legality and certificate side of things cheers all!

I'm sure you folk are well aware about the well known sprocket nut  issue?
Well after buying the bike last year I was delighted with it even if I had only done 10-20 miles before tucking it away for the winter! As with everything I've owned/bought I always like to strip it down and check all the wear and tear items e.g., pads, calipers, seals, bearings, bushes and well everything really. So I'm a bit pernickity so had a list as long as my arm with things needing done which probably didn't but anyway this bloody did!!!

[size=2]Hi all,


Bought my Fazer in November last year and it was displaying the 7k code on the tachometer.

Went out today to have a look, loosened the cables (top was very slack already) valve turned freely as expected; the seller advertised the bike as having had a new valve, end plate and bushes.

After a few attempts at adjusting the cables I am now free of the 7k code. However, having looked at a few videos of working valves, the initial position of mine at idle seems to be off somewhat and despite several attempts adjusting I could not get the forks of the pulley to line up with the hole. I'm also unsure whether it is opening fully, I thought it seemed a bit hesitant. Does it open all the way to the 2 O'clock position at red line in revs?

Here is the video, I took the revs up to about 9k at the end. I was hoping an expert could cast their eye over this and perhaps give me some pointers

Thanks in advance

Hi new on here so thought I'd write up a short story lol
Well I'm Steven and live in the far North of Scotland around 50 miles south of John o'groats! Owned my 1998 fzs600 for about 6 months but not actually been out on a proper run yet, only covered around 10 miles or so since buying her! Done a few things to the bike over the winter and now just waiting on better weather to get her out! Can't come soon enough!!
