    Snapped EXUP valve bolts off flush with header. Can't drill bolts out to re-tap.

    Recently I heard a rattle in my exhaust, so I decided to investigate by removing the exup valve and seeing what was in there. After doing some research later I found out that some FZ's after awhile will develop a rattle from the small bushing/washer located on the exup valve. Well through the...

    Front brakes are sticking.

    So I just put on new tires and I took the wheels off to do so. Well, I noticed after I got it all put together that my bike was harder to push around. The rear wheel spins fine, but the front wheel barely spins (front wheel in air). As soon as I push to rotate it, it just stops and doesn't even...

    Spark Plugs: CR9E vs CR9EIA-9 vs CR9E-IX

    Looking to do a plug change and can't find a clear cut answer on which plug the first gen Fz's like the best. I read on the R1 forum that the CR9EIA-9 is what they go to, but I've also heard that the regular CR9E will do the job just fine and I wouldn't notice a difference. Whats your preference?

    Weird ticking noise when key is turned "on"

    I have a fast ticking noise before the bike is running when I turn the key to the on position. I believe it may be the exup valve sticking, the noise starts out fast then slows down then stops right before I start the bike. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

    Soooo I got an FZ1 today! I thought my Bandit was fun.

    I thought my stage 3 02 Naked Bandit 1200 was fun. Oh boy have I been missing out! I just got this 01 today with 41k on the clock paid 2100 which seems like an alright deal around this time. Guy seemed to really maintain it well, just needs a few minor things (cables). He rebuilt the front...

    Stiff choke lever?

    I just bought an 01 fz1 with 40k on the clock and I was wondering what I can do to get the choke lever to move more smoothly. Its very stiff and I'm afraid I may break it one of these days. I noticed that there's like screws on the carbs that the choke bracket slides along. Should these be...
