Thanks for the replies guys. I wasn't sure whether it would be nearly impossible to get the wax off the plastic. We'll see how this goes!

looking to take my fz to the wash this week, and wax it up using regular car wax on the tank but not sure what to use on the painted plastics. Trying to see what you guys use. 'Thanks!

I started out with a small bit and slow speed, really seemed to get the job done. I got the drilling far enough and wide enough to insert a heli-coil. Tomorrow I'm going to clean out the crevice with a q-tip and apply a thin layer of JB Weld in there for the heli-coil to be inserted. Wish me luck!

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...

Yeah, I can only get about one rotation if I try to spin it real hard. Would you say your pads are worn in and aren't fresh anymore? If so, this makes me feel alot better. Not used to having this much drag on a bike or car.

How much drag would you say is normal? I tried just loosening the bleeder screw's and while they were open the wheel still stuck. I can maybe get one revolution if I throw the wheel.

ISO Brake lines for a Gen 1

rebuilt master cylinder and new calipers, still sticking.

I have a scorpion EXO 1000 black with a tinted shield and I absolutely love it. I looked at other helmets around its price range (Speed and Strength, Bell, Fullmer and Icon) and the EXO had the best fit and feel versus the other companies. The other ones felt cheap to me and didn't have a good...

Do you know if the gen 2 fz's calipers will fit the gen 1?

Preferably rebuilt or low mileage.

Levers still for sale? Also, are the calipers for sale?

Found out after tonight that the calipers need rebuilt or replaced. The seals are literally poking out and dry rotted out of each piston. Only one side (pistons) is pushing when brake is applied which makes sense why they were sticking (no resistance from the other side). I may either rebuild or...

I tried about everything I could think of besides taking out the caliper pistons and sanding them/cleaning them. Still wont spin freely, takes effort to turn. Wheel is installed the right way, arrow pointing forward on both tires and wheel. Here's what I've done: -Removed pinch bolt, loosened...

Also what color did you use for your wheels?
