I sold the Fazer last year and bought a 09 R1.
I found a genuine Yamaha touring screen in the spare room, it's boxed and hardly used.
it fits the Fazer from 04 to 08 models
Anyone making a fair offer can have it, the buyer will pay P and P
Hey Hellgate, I work in support of the military in Kuwait, I'm based at SPOD but visit AJ quiet a bit. Your right though...It's a **** hole. A week ago a Brit soldier was almost kidnapped over here, so be careful.
I don't post on here now as I have a 2009 R1, but good luck mate, give me a look...
I've fitted HEL lines, they are good,easy to fit and look cool.
You can get them for the front with one line and a link hose but I fitted two front , one rear.
Easy to fit and bleed.
E bay sell power mods, which is a resistor you add to the fuel system electrics that increases the air/fuel ratio thus giving more HP.
Personally I dont think it's worth it and if its wrong you could burn valves/pistons.
Use a power commander and dyno, it's much safer but more expensive!!!
When I changed mine some air was holdind out in the front calipers. I took them back off the bike ,raised them high and re bled with the bleed nipple as the highest point. Job done.
Also tie the lever back as far as it will go overnight, any small bubbles will rise upto the master cylinder...
I ride these roads alot,Try Richmond- Hawes A684 thenon to Kirkby Lonsdale on the B6255 from there onto Sedbrough A683 upto Brough A683- A685 then B6276 to Middleton in Teesdale from there B6277 to Alston then A686 to Penrith you can then eithe head down the M6 or A66 to A592 to windermere...
By repairing the paint chip havn't they accepted responsibility, send them a seven day letter stating their mistakes and that you want a reply with their intentions in writing within seven days.
Then contact a solicitor (many give an hour free consultation). Then sue the bastards!
Nakeds were supplied wih Dunlop and Fazers were fitted with Bridgestones.
The Dunlops under perform compared with the Bridgestones acording to the press.
I've got 021s on mine and they're very good, better than the 020s.
Sizes are on the sidewalls, rear eg 180/55/17; 180 Is the CSA in mm. 55...
I only use it on mototrways etc. And then in combination with 5th.
As a side issue, do none of you use the full rev range?
I mean screaming through the gears upto say 12k/13k
When your braking the weight of the bike moves forward, so you need to move your weight back, The rear wheel goes light as the cof g moves forward you counter this by moving back in the seat/sitting up.
Lean forward when accelerating to keep the front down.
