Hi All,

I'm noticing more and more new bikes that seems to be running the front amber turn signal lights as "always on" running lights.

So I am in the process of fitting new bulbs and holders to my FZS1000. I considered doing something clever with relays etc, but in the end am planning just to fit 21W/5W bulbs, and have the 5W light permanently on, being powered from a feed off the nearby existing side-lights which are part of the main headlight unit. The 21W light will continue to function as regular indicator. Both will share the same earth lead for the negative return.

Does anyone know if this is road legal?  On testing there is still a distinct flash coming from the 21W element which can be seen clearly over the always on 5W element.  It is the same solution as the Fazers's rear lights that run 5W tail-lights and 21W brake lights in the same bulb.

Any thoughts?

Fazer Simon.

to the bin

thanks

I changed my chain when I bought the bike 20, maybe 25k miles ago and over ten years ago! I bought the best DID X-Ring I could get. I now find myself scratching my head as to when I should change that (and maybe the sprockets- which are original at 38k miles) again.


I've adjusted the chain from new no more than twice or maybe I'm forgetting one and it's three times - but certainly no more than that. There are no tight spots, no solid rollers, no stiff links, no excessive play off the rear sprocket. It is and always has been bang on for tightness although I run on the looser side of spec.


The sprockets themselves have no visible signs of wear front or back and certainly no cupping.


As a possible explanation, the bike rarely goes out in wet weather unless I'm touring and get caught out, but whether it does or not, the chain is lubed every couple of hundred miles maximum and cleaned with paraffin fairly regularly - so it usually runs clean.


It's not the money. The bike gets what it needs, when it needs it; but I can't bear to throw away stuff for the sake of it. I was brought up where things were valued and not replaced 'just because'


Thoughts on changing due to the time/mileage, or should I just keep plodding on until things look worn?

How do I post a photo ain’t been on here for a long time still got my Gen1 ! Went off to a Tracer then. Multistrada now an MT09SP but going to put  the Fazer  back on the road!

Hi,
is anyone selling a Givi Rack for 2003 Fazer Foxeye?


thanks

Hi Guys,

other than the front fairing and Fuel Tanks are the "Box eye" and "Fox eye models the same?

Cheers 

Hi,
looking for recommendations for replacement LED indicators for my Mk2

Thanks 

  I know it won’t need it with 12500 miles on my Gen 1 thou, but would I notice any improvement in smoothness, gear changes etc, by fitting one of these so called silent front sprockets. Don’t mind the work of fitting it, and they are relatively cheap, no issues at all with how the bike runs etc. I’m sure there will be a good bit of experience of these being fitted on the forum. Thanks.
