"Oh I give up"
Edited (again) :pokefun for downey.
Note to downey... stop puting font and sizes in, or once you've posted your statement, go back in and modify it by taking out ALL THE FONT/SIZES you've put in between the [ ] and remove those too!
what did you do with your fazer today ? - Exupnut - 03-07-16

Most of the chunks were resting on the frame and the smaller bits inside the sprocket cover. Think the oil coming out prevented anything entering the crank.
Going to take it off the road and source an engine or complete donor bike. Shit happens mate.
Get it apart and see what the damage is first...if any ...u might be able to get away with a simple weld...count ur chickens Darren ....u could save some bucks...
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 03-07-16
Seriously mate, not going to get away with a weld, it's destroyed the crankcase completely. Will be simpler to replace the engine. Any news on your work Bike, thieving twats aren't they?
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 03-07-16
Foc.....yep, your right there dazza, every now and again shit happens :\.........just out of curiosity how old was the chain ?
on the bright side......not long now till the new bike arrives :thumbup
another answer to your problem, how are you with the spanners, how about buying just the engine cases off ebay/breakers and swapping over yourself ?

You were trying to get the front wheel up weren't you........ see what happens when you misbehave!

Can't really say that I'm that gutted, Had nearly 5 years of reasonably trouble free biking from her and Like you say, less than a month now and I will have my new bike.

This will give me a little project to tinker with.It's ironic as I had just left my brother after he rode it to try out the new bars and I had mentioned that the chain and sprockets were approaching 30k and the chain had a very noticeable tightspot. Replacing them was next on my list, so I was aware. :\
As for spannering, pretty confident with most things but can't say that I've ever stripped down and rebuilt a four stroke engine....How hard can it be ? :lol
After Nickodemons comment about his mate repairing his crankcase, Exupnut may have a point with going down the repairing road. we'll see.
And Harry, you may call it misbehaving but when no one else is about, I call it having fun
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - downey - 03-07-16
thanks again for that sinto :groan ,,crikey sorry for your troubles dazza,,could have been worse ,if it was at high speed like ,hope the repairs go smoothly :thumbup
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 03-07-16
Thanks downey
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Shinigami - 04-07-16
broke it, that's what i did :thumbdown
did headlight mod and fitted new exhaust but realised had stripped the studs on rear sprocket carrier when torquing it up... so another delay in riding! replacement coming from a breakers hopefully tomorrow.
Also never blindly follow the torque values in the service manual....
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - joebloggs - 04-07-16
Sheared the fan mounts off the radiator. Top nut came undone easily enough but when undoing the lower nuts I suddenly found the nut and mount attached to the socket
Fan was going in the bin so not the end of the world but couldn't believe how little effort it took to shear off the mount.
Another few grams saved
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 05-07-16
Started off last week attempting to replace carb to cylinder head rubbers(see "a senior moment" thread! :lol ).
Bike is now resting on stand/wooden blocks, exhaust system off,rad removed,checked,repainted, coolant hoses checked & refitted with s/s jubilee clips.Entire front of engine derusted, repainted. New fuel filter % also 2 x rad hoses, 4 exhaust port gaskets, small bore carb heater hoses & clips.
Carbs about to be overhauled with service kits. Removed forks to access & drill out lower rad mount bolt that had corroded & snapped.
Now I discover steering bearings "notchy" so thats the next job!
Was planning to do all these jobs come Autumn/Winter but I have started now so may as well do the lot....Did I mention the front forks--going to phone/see my local "guru" re re-springing/oil/seals. His replacement Wilbers rear shock has transformed the bike. Best £300 ever spent on any Fazer I have owned.
Oh yes forgot to mention the front caliper bleed nipples are seized-have got a pair of stainless ones from Powerhouse so may as well do the full service on the blue spots. :lol

Hsd a nice fast ride to Seaways cafe at Fridaythorpe with a workmate who has just bought a BMW GS, must say that the beemer really holds a line well and looked really composed.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - red98 - 06-07-16
Rode my 600 boxeye down to mums in the heart of the thames valley, cut the lawns and came home the long way, nice way to spend a summers evening :thumbup

Liking it!
Only managed to refit radiator & coolant pipes since took this pic yesterday
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 07-07-16

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 07-07-16
Managed to free up my seized wheel adjuster with a ring spanner and wind it back in so will fit the new swing arm at a later date and fitted new rubber cushioned sprockets front and rear. Should be super smooth and quiet when she's ready for the road.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Millietant - 08-07-16
Weather looked OK army this morning so I rode the 1000 to work. The 3 hour (100 mile) normal car journey took only 2 hours on the Fazer.
Had a lovely ride back home as well - 200 easy miles for the day.
