SOLD: cheap gen 1 Fazer 1000, red, £1,700 ono - Digdug - 02-05-13 I’ve decided to go back down to a Fazer 600 as I test rode a mate’s recently and it’s more light and fun for a 5’4” girl like me than the heavy thou. I thought I’d advertise the thou cheap on here for a quick sale as it needs an MOT end of July and needs a few things doing to it (nothing mechanical, mainly cosmetic) and I thought a Foccer might like to do it themselves and sell it on for a profit. Otherwise it’s me paying a dealer to do it before I sell it, and I’d rather avoid the hassle. Year: 2001 (Y-reg) Mileage: 30k Tax: Nov 2013 Former owners: 3 MOT: 25 July 2013 It already has 2 of the best mods you can do to a thou: * Ivan’s slip on jet kit, fitted by our very own Foccer Mike Greatorex (Falcon 269). Improves low-mid range torque and power delivery, plus I think it’s made the bike less vibey. * R6 shock fitted, significantly improves the handling as recommended by lots of the guys over in Fazer 1000 corner (see thread here: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,151.0.html). Shock has only done about 1k miles. BUT I kept on the standard dog bones which has the effect of lowering the bike. Unless you're a shortarse like me you'll probably want to complete the mod and put the bike back to standard height by getting the specialised dog bones from devilsyam here on the forum, which he tells me are £40 delivered. The bike is in overall excellent condition for age and has weathered well. The engine is sweet with no rattles, and I’ve never had a problem with the bike in the 2 years I’ve owned it. Apart from the mods mentioned above plus a fender extender the bike is standard. What it needs: * New back tyre. It’s square and approaching bald in the middle The local dealer told me it also needs a new front tyre, my Fazer thou-owning mate said it doesn’t and they were just trying to rip me off. I’ve taken a photo if that helps. * New front mudguard. The front was snapped off while it was parked on the road, presumably by some idiot car driver who did not see fit to leave their details The local dealer has quoted me £100 to replace it, but maybe it’s possible do it cheaper yourself. * The dealer also told me it’ll need new chain and sprockets for its MOT. Again, my mate says it doesn’t and they were just trying to make money out of me. I don’t know who’s right so I can only say what others have said. * The choke broke literally a few days ago. I put it on and felt something ‘ping’, so I presume the cable has snapped? There’s a few other cosmetic imperfections which I’ve tried to show in the photos, fairing cracks under both indicators which have been plastic welded but are noticeable if you look, a few chips to the fairing paintwork where it was dropped from standing in a gravelly car park. I’m based near Loughborough in Leicestershire, or could also arrange collection from my mum’s in Heanor, Derbyshire if that helps. £1,700 ono.
