    HELP - FZ1 Clear Alternatives - wiring issues!

    Wouldn't it just use the ground from the brake or running light? What happens when you connect the yellows?

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    I took the Ride Like a Pro class today. It's a low speed maneuverability course. There were two classes and I stuck around for the afternoon session and managed to weasel my way into participating in the exercises. Good class if you want to improve your low speed handling.

    2015 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    Seriously!? That could have easily happened during a race with pretty ugly results. Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    Yep. Leather rentals are about $70, iirc. I'm planning to go on July 20th with a few friends. The Mid-Ohio School - Courses - Performance Track Riding Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Cape May... I knew that sounded familiar. I used to read a blog by a guy named Jack Riepe that was tremendously enjoyable, and he spent a winter in Cape May a couple of seasons ago. Some of the most entertaining writing that I've read. Hadn't thought of him in a while, but it still makes me a...

    2015 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    I gave motogp.com my money when I realized that none of the races were listed on my local cable. Money well spent. Great racing today. Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    2015 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    I saw that, but I suppose if I'm going to do it, I might as well go "all in." I tried the demonstration of the multi-screen and really liked it. Biggest question is if they have the bandwidth to support full streaming of the big races. In any case, I thought there might be some sort of referral...

    2015 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    I'm seriously considering getting the Video Pass this year. It's about $150 for the multi-screen. Any such thing as a discount code? Is there a "best" time to buy it? Do they offer any sort of referral code so that an existing subscriber could get some sort of benefit?

    Fz1 gen2. 2006- not charging...

    Hopefully not to late, Delta. I've found Electro sport's troubleshooting guide to be very helpful in the past. Some other good resources on their site as well. Fault Finding Guide - Motorcycle Electrical Fault Finding Chart - ElectroSport Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    Pod Mod - Lights!

    Yeah, call me a glutton for punishment :banghead: Aren't the Autozone harnesses only two-wire? I liked the idea of the running lights. Plus, the pre-marked holes in the inner fairing looked like they were begging for the same bulb socket as was used in the turn signals.

    Pod Mod - Lights!

    I completed this mod over the weekend. I had two sets of stock front turn signals, so I decided to re-purpose their wiring for the pod lights, since I was also installing Proton flush-mounts at the same time. There were a couple of "wrinkles" that I had to work out. First, I had to figure out...

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    I installed proton flush mounts and decided to re-purpose the old turn signal wiring and lights into pod lights. Turned out okay, but I'll probably swap the incandescent bulbs in the pods for LEDs in the near future. Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    I got the bulbs last week and took a few minutes to install them today. Here's the difference between the stock and the 130's. It was a pretty bright day, but you can definitely see a difference in the light color. It's also -7°F here, with snow and salt on the roads. Don't see road testing...

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    Finished installing my "Ivanized" ECU. Pulled the Ignition module, adjusted the TPS, and got everything buttoned up just in time for the rain to start. It was in the low 40's (4C) today and I thought I might get a chance at a shake-down ride. No such luck! Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    Hopefully quick question about TPS opening and closing points (installing Ivan's ECU)

    Ah, crap. That's what I get for assuming. I'll go back and re-do the open and close points. Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.

    Hopefully quick question about TPS opening and closing points (installing Ivan's ECU)

    I've installed the flashed ECU, removed the I'M and am now to the point where I'm setting the opening and closing points. TPS didn't need to be adjusted based on instructions from Ivan. Step 5 in the instructions says, "Looking at the throttle position readout and the rpm, gradually apply the...

    Sudden Oil Leak

    Maybe a dumb question, but what kind of chain lube are you using? I used a brand a couple of years ago that didn't "harden" like my typical wax. In warm weather, it would drip a little bit. Once I realized what was going on, I cleaned the chain and sprockets, threw the can away, and went back to...

    Led lights

    Customled.com sells an electronic flasher relay that is plug and play on the FZ1. It will eliminate the need for resistors (and the energy waste that comes with them) for $20. Sent from Tapatalk on my Note 4.
