Got the Fazer back from the workshop today. - Bimbam - 23-03-17
Hi. I had this troipc 3 weeks ago.: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,21967.0.html , about lots of gasolin from the carburetors.
I got the bike from the workshop today, and they had quite a job with almost all of the carburetor gaskets
I got the valves checked, new gaskets, balancing and carburetor adjustment.
The adjustment was needed, i have KN filter and an aftermarked can.
It runs very nicely now and the price was 533 euro or 459 GBP.
Have a nice day

parts prices seem about the same as in uk
the labour cost is what scares me thats why i do it all myself
and all that cost for just float bowl gaskets and a carb clean
Re: Got the Fazer back from the workshop today. - Bimbam - 23-03-17
I think the price i very fair. No probs from me.
Re: Got the Fazer back from the workshop today. - Bretty - 23-03-17
Fair play! Personally I would have bought 4 services kits (4x£14), a Haynes manual (£10), and a set of carb balancing gauges (£50).
Do the job, then sell the gauges on a well known auction site. My bike with scorpion exhaust and K&N filter runs great on standard jets and settings.

£460
jeez my fazer only cost me £550?

Yeah I'd be focin mad if I got that bill. Local garage £120 to shim and balance carbs, £60 to strip and rebuild carbs inc setting float heights. Foc me I'd have change for a pair of tyre's

Re: Got the Fazer back from the workshop today. - JoeyMcEssex - 24-03-17

I gotta say I like the righthand drive bikes! It's the best thing about riding in Europe. Oncoming bikers wave and if you overtake a bike on his right, he'll wave at you with his foot.
In the UK you just get the 'nod'. Although no one bothers in London.

The foot out, tells him I know he is there and I have seen him and actually want him to go past. And for us here its the right foot out rather than take your right hand off the throttle

[size=1.35em]Shit! [/size] :grumble [size=1.35em] then I am in trouble as I hadn't realise that the left hooker handlebars cost so much.[/size]
[size=1.35em]I only have about 7/2[/size][size=0.7em]1/2d[/size][size=1.35em].[/size]
[size=1.35em]Let me count up again: Half a Crown, a two Shilling bit, a Shilling bit, two sixpenny bits, two Thrupenny bits, 2 Pennys, a Hapenny, and a couple of Farthings, but my Mrs reckons that Farthings are no longer legal tender.[/size]
[size=1.35em]Makes me think now how did that foccing money work.[/size]
[size=1.35em]Half a crown was 2/6d, 2 Shilling bit was 2 Bob, 1 Shilling piece was a Bob, Sixpence was a Tanner, 3 Pence piece was a Thrupenny bit, the rest was just shrapnel.[/size]
[size=1.35em]20 Shillings to the pound, 12 Pennys to the Shilling, 240 Pennys to the pound, 2 Hapennys to the Penny and 4 farthings to the Penny. [/size]
[size=1.35em]Then just to make it difficult to understand, a 2 Shilling bit was not just known as 2 Bob it was also a Florin, A Half a Crown was not just 2/6d it was also known as Half a Dollar, A Sixpenny bit was not just a Tanner but was also known as a [/size]Sprassy, A Three Pence piece was not just a Thrupenny bit but was also known as a Joey.

Don't the new pound coin look like a bigger Thrupenny or was that Joey? :b
Re: Got the Fazer back from the workshop today. - GH600 - 24-03-17
