2010 Fazer FZ1S 1000cc

[ossy2004]

hey guys so my hunt was on for a new bike for summer.

I set a budget at approx £6k due to for all I will be using the bike due to lack of time and the kid etc

I started getting the want to get my ulimate favourite bike, S1000rr. They're overpriced but was willing to pay a lot over my budget to get one...

That was until I seen this extremely mint fazer 1000cc, went to see it before I was Gona check out another RR but couldn't say no to it, how clean and comfortable it is and how nice it is to ride plus it was a lot under budget...win win!

Few extras on it already including carbon belly pan, heated grips and a scot oiler.

New Tail tidy came with it but wasn't fitted.

Going to install new clear lense LED indicators, stubby exhaust and tail tidy with smaller plate.

Where do you guys recommend I get the exhaust etc?

Cheers
Joe

Lovely bike mate, HTR. As for the exhaust, I've searched everywhere for one for my R6. If you're looking the likes of an akrapovic or arrow ect, nowhere seems to do them dirt cheap as such. The prices only vary about £10 across all retailers. I found A16 exhaust's get great reviews though, they sound impressive from youtube videos and are fairly cheap for a nice looking exhaust

Lovely Black widow/Delkevic etc are as good as anything else these days. The exhaust market is much more open from the big boys that used to be a must have, Akrapovic/Scorpion/Yoshimura/Leo Vince/Arrow etc etc

 

[ossy2004]

Would be happy with something like this, websites are a melt thou

 

[Chris666]

That exhaust on the right is one of these

Have just checked out the black widow website, seem good value. Il YouTube what they sound like and maybe order end can today

I prefer the stubby ones instead of the longer type.. is there a difference in them both, is the stubby louder or what?

 

[Chris666]

Stubby would definitely be a deeper tone at the very least, to the point where keeping the baffle in might be required to remain sociable. A longer can (say 300mm) would be different again, different to stock but could probably get away with the baffle out.

I say this, as nobody buys aftermarket systems to keep the baffles in even though technically we should be

 

[ossy2004]

Stuck in which one too choose, think the first one would suit the bike better being all black but I had similar to the second one on my R6 and it was a beast.

What yous think??

 

[Chris666]

Top one if bike is used regularly, bottom one if it's a weekend toy.

 

[ossy2004]

I've been told by previous owner I need to remove the ex-up valve?

He Kina explained that to me but is there any parts I need to order except one of the above cans or do I need something else to stop light coming on on dash?

 

[ossy2004]

Bottom one it is then loll

 

[Chris666]

I have no idea tbh, the exup used to be well below the link pipe but if it's closer to the can you may well need a servo eliminator to stop limp mode/EML

 

[ossy2004]

No messing about haha

What is that and where do I get?

I take it it's easy enough to do and don't need someone to do this for me if I'm used to tickering?

Getting sensible!

They are a great bike.........I had a 2002 Fazer 1000cc in black with flat bars, heated grips and a carbon exhaust, brilliant bike for long trips and quick enough. I looked for a nice FZ1 years ago but never found one.

Good luck with it.

Should be handy enough, the system is a cable operated job that lives above the exhaust pretty much under the seat, the wee box above fools the ECU into thinking it's there (means the whole thing can be removed)

Is this defo needed?

That the cheapest about you think, more than I thought it would be lol

 

[Chris666]

Depends where the valve is, if it's on the can side then yes if it's on the header side before the link pipe then shouldn't do

Grab me a closeup pic of the exhaust from both sides, I'm near sure the valve is can side..

 

[Chris666]

On the plus side, all of this sheeite can be removed

[Chris666]

Yeah dude eliminator needed. That cover below the brake linkage is hiding the exup assembly

Who wants to help fit for a few beer tokens?

Located in glengormley

 

[ossy2004]

Just paid full years insurance there now also.

Want to order small plate for tail tidy and 4 clear LED indicators and that's me for today.

They will fit tail tidy ok but will they fit the original housing on the front or will I need to make them fit some how?
