Hi All,


I have just joined the forum as I am very interested purchasing a Fazer 1000, I have found this one and will be viewing it shortly. I have read through the great G1 New owners post and got most of the info I need. I asked the guy some questions about the bike as below and was curious to find out why the EXUP was welded open, could anyone give me some advice? Is this too good to be true(its going cheap)?

Hi
was wondering if  anyone has any givi topbox arms for a FZ1 (gen 2 )Fazer 1000s 08 plate?
thanks, not for me tho.

Is there much love for the fz8 on this forum?

Hi and happy new year to you all.


I am joining because I am thinking of buying a Fazer FZS 600 or 1000 and need some advise from the experts. I am attracted to the Fazers as they look different and I can see it would be a good choice for use on track, touring and ride outs. My budget is about £1500 with my first mod being front and rear suspension.


My questions are...


What to look for when buying?


Does high milage matter? (40,000mls on 2002 FZS1000)


What are the best(cheapest) performance mods I can do?


600 or 1000?


[size=78%]I really appreciate your help and look forward to becoming part of the forum.[/size]


Thanks
Ash

Better late than never :lol ...here's a few pics.

The Honda was a William Dunlop Classic TT bike.

Hi. I think about replacing the old radiator hoses with silicone hoses. What can u recommend?

So, for a little while now i've been getting a feeling of the bike feeling a tiny bit unstable when riding.
It reminds me of when my rear shock leaked before and i was literally riding on the spring around corners which became quite eventful, but not quite as bad as that this time.
I have a refurbed OEM shock, which has done approximately 9000 miles.
I've checked for any leaks and i can't see any oil anywhere this time so i think it's okay where that's concerned.


I was wondering though, if the swing arm bearings are shot, or seized, what would i be feeling on the bike when riding? Could seized swing arm bearings make the rear shock stick in a fixed position?


At the moment i do think that i'm feeling too many bumps in the road, and there's that odd slightly wobbly feeling again.
My rear tyre looks okay, with plenty of tread left in the middle, so it's not squared off at all.
When i put my weight on and off the seat the suspension doesn't really feel like it's doing too much to me, almost like it's too hard.


Can somebody enlighten me on what and how to check to determine what's at actually at fault please?


I can't do anything until tomorrow so any suggestions or help welcomed in the mean time.  :thumbup

Hi foccers, on my way to work this morning I had a bit of a spill my pride and joy stepped out from underneath me exiting a island when I opened the gas  ,anyway has anybody got any handlebars ,indicator lens, gear lever and engine cover (timing side in black)  they don't want or need

Thanks in advance ,one very sore ,stiff pissed off foccer

I have a feeling my rear shock is goosed so was wondering if anyone has anything available at the moment once i confirm that it's fooked?
Probably best for me to go for some sort of upgraded one that's ready to fit preferably, i don't want an OEM 600 one again.

Anyone got one (or 6) of the mentioned going spare? No prices for guessing what numbnuts here has done fitting a double bubble...


Cheers
