Hi again, I seem to just be getting problem after problem after problem with this bike at the moment for no apparent reason! The story so far, I have battled with fault code 20 and Ivan's FCE for what seems like forever and finally decided to rip the bloody thing out. So took the bike to...

I know the anodising process, but on Renthal's site they list the sprocket colours e.g. Blue Red Hard anodised Black So on the website it looks like 'hard anodised' is a list in the colour section. I just presume that web something is hard anodised it goes one colour? The picture looks like a...

That's cool, nope not looking for performance as 16t is standard. Reason I ask is the kits I find are standard kits and to buy a different one is about £15. I just didn't want to have to buy another chain! Thanks chaps! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?h5zcbx

Im getting a bit confused... Ive found a kit with is 17T front, 45T rear (Standard). I took the front cover off and there is actually a 16T sprocket already on the front. I have also noticed previously that the speedo is a little out and this will be why. If I buy the 17T front and once...

Thanks for your reply. I found the following: UK Bike Parts: Chain and Sprocket Kits: Yamaha FZ1 Fazer: 2006-11 I'm tempted to get the second one down from the top... Would anyone recommend this? Is the change in acceleration really 10% and would it be really noticeable? Or should I just get...

Hi guys, I currently own a 2006 FZ1s and am looking to change my chain and rear sprocket. Looking on eBay, I have found a set - eBay.co.uk item number - 300575461044 All I seem to be able to find is for the naked version... Are these compatible? Or are there big changes meaning that if it's...

I had some new tyres fitter last year, pulled out of the garage and the bike went totally sideways! Somehow managed to not come off and just rode off feeling pretty stupid... Member of the 1 litre club...

Hi chaps! Me again... Ok so, I own a 2006 FZ1. Never really participated in any motorbike maintenance but plan to start with getting the back wheel off to clean the stubborn chain oil off and possibly get it re-conditioned as I noticed some paint flaking off of it. Can anyone please...

Hi all, On my GenII Fazer, the paint on the arms of the mirrors are starting to flake off. Has anyone had this, if so what did you do? Remove, sand down and re-spray? Or are there any aftermarket mirrors which use the same fixing position and still give good visibility? Thanks! --- I am...

They are awesome! Sadly in the UK there are regulations to pass an MOT and there is a minimum space between indicator lights. Can't remember the exact spacing but these tail lights fail :( --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.217282,0.245221 Member of the 1 litre club...

With a little research surely you would find one nearer... I have a variety of mods on my bike and had a map on the PC3 with the nearest match to my gear (Infact identical match). When being dyno'd it was amazing to see how badly it was running! Extremely rich. --- I am here...

I don't understand why people spend all the money on gear like yoshi cans etc and don't go and get the bike dyno'd... It costs about £100 to get it dyno'd and set up perfectly! Why risk running too rich or too lean and potentially damaging your bike. If you are going to do a job, do it...

To be honest guys, a helmet check isnt that bad... Over here in the Uk, I was once pulled over in my car just for wearing a baseball cap. Unbelievable I know, I asked why they pulled me over as that's what they said. At the end of the day a helmet check is for your safety aswell, although a...

I have always geared up. Always buy gloves with excess protection and in summer when I take the padding out of my jacket I removed the back protector and wear a back protector vest so that it stays in the correct place. Don't know about over your side of the pond but here in the UK we nod to...

Who's idea was it to take the photo in front of that pole...! Member of the 1 litre club...

Most likely the rear brake. The switch is a kind of plunger looking thing just pull it in an out, it most probably has got stuck. Give it some wd40 treakment or 3in1 oil or similar. As for the foot on the rear brake post... It's a valid post, no new for the reply which you gave. The amount of...

Well in the past few weeks the fault has gone from intermittent to permanent. Im guessing that it has got to be a faulty sensor... So Im going to try and source the three sensors and replace all three of them. I shall be back to update... althogh it may be a few months down the line!

Tried all of this today and no joy. Still the same. I'm going to try and buy the three sensors in question: Intake air temp sensor Intake air pressure sensor Atmospheric pressure sensor Ill fit these and see if that remedies the fault. Does anyone know where I can get these from in the UK...

Can anyone answer his original question? How to tell the difference between an ECU code or Diagnostic? E.g. Side stand fault or sensor fault? --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.217300,0.245210 Member of the 1 litre club...
