Hi everyone,
I am starting to put together a plan for an 'Ivanising' trip over the period 15 - 18 May.
So far I have around 7 names on the list and it looks likely that I will begin on the Thursday in Bournemouth/Portsmouth then move on to Cheshunt before winding up somewhere around Barnsley on Sunday. I also have owners from Milton Keynes and Stoke to fit in and the final schedule will be tweaked to best accommodate everyone who signs up.
To make the trip viable, I need a minimum of 10 bikes to work on so I'm already close to going firm on this visit. However, I would like to make an early decision so that I can book flights while they're still reasonably priced.
If you would like to get your Gen 1 'Ivanised' drop me a line by e-mail (not PM, please) ... mikegreatorexAThotmail.com ... and I'll provide you all the information you need on installation options and so on.
To help me with planning routes etc, please include your full name, your postcode and a contact phone number.
Unlikely to be north of the border this side of the summer ... sorry, too busy in my day job by then, However, I'm still willing to do a quick in-out dash to Scotland if I can get 6 bikes to do in one location, either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

HI falcon
..
im on holiday on them dates in bulgaria, bummer..
Im new to the fazer scene, but very keen on engine tuning
Are you an ivan tuning engineer coming to the uk i have a 2007 with a mtc slip on can, Ive just come from a stage 1 tuned gsxr 1000k6 so the fazer feels asthmatic, id like the full monty done to mine 148/150 would be a lovely target at the back wheel
id love to find a uk place to get this tuning done, not sure if my cans suitable this post has a pic of my bike, is the can ok, what sort of money am i looking at my bike has no other power mods, but id love the full up grade
just getting in to European touring, first trip 4 days belguim germany france with the mrs may 12 2014
Arggghhh! One of them Gen II fuel-injected frame-crackers. :lol
Unfortunately - for you, that is - I'm strictly Gen 1 carbs and the Full Monty refers to the Ivan's mods I do on the older, superior model of Fazer Thou.
Kidding aside, what you need is Ivan's ECU flash for the Gen II, a PC V module for the fuelling, and a few other complimentary tweaks to the airbox/air filter. For the very best results, a Yoshi full system does the trick but that adds a big chunk of cash to the tally sheet.
Check out the long thread about Ivan's ECU flash on the US FZ1OA forum. It started back when Ivan was thinking about doing this, then he parked the idea for a while before re-opening the subject and bringing it to very successful fruition:
Don't sweat the frame crack comment. A few of the early model ones had issues with welds on the frame but it's not been an issue since then and if yours was suspect, it would have most likely failed before now.
I don't know of anyone who specialises in doing Ivan's Gen II mods but they're mostly bolt on stuff with maybe a bit of tweaking of electronics and loading of maps into the PC V. I'm pretty sure you could do this yourself.
Right, 'tis booked. Flights and rental car all arranged, so this is a goer.
Working Friday 16th May in Stoke-on-Trent; Saturday morning in Milton Keynes and afternoon in Cheshunt. Sunday 18th again in Cheshunt and then finishing up on Monday down in Bournemouth.
I may still be able to slot a couple more in for those coming late to this thread. Please don't delay - contact me ASAP, details in the opening post.
