not new just returning - Mark YPVS - 08-12-21

Hi All,


so its been awhile since I've been on here after i sold the Fazer 600 and brought an R1 i swiftly named Triggers Broom  Smile , had it a couple of years, then got a R1 5vy which i still have.


Had several bikes to commute on (scooters 125 ,AJS Cadwell 125, Xmax 300,) but recent thought Fazer 1000 Gen 1, so i brought a bit of a donkey in the looks dept (badly painted wheels /engine/ rusty frame but only surface) but 2 previous owners and 34k miles.


it has a few issues.. no mot, no neutral light, right indicators/ hazards don't always work but the main concern is its clunky from 1st to 2nd, i haven't ridden it yet but is this normal , seem to remember my 5JJ was the same.


i will ask these questions in the Fazer 1000 section as well or feel free to move this whole thread there. :rollin :rollin

Welcome back Mark


As for the clunk have you checked the condition of the chain and adjustment?

Thanks for the welcome back  Big Grin


i haven't checked the chain tension yet , i run the bike on the stand until the fan cut in the put it in gear , into 1st is a bit clunky but 1st to 2nd is a louder clunk but it goes in ok ?

Thats because there is no load on the chain/engine. Set the chain tension correctly and just ride it.
