Autum has started here, rode yesterday to work [ Friday always a bike day] got soaked on the way home. Watched the get psyched video, ready now for a Saturday morning burn. Good to here your getting your bike back. It dosent snow here but feel sad for all you riders way up north having a riding...

Stacks I was happy with my Graves stacks untill I saw these. Words cant describe how good they look.

HI Drinky read the thread Spark Plugs At 8,000mls and then I hope you can get it.

Your bike looks mint. I love it can we swap oh you dont like a silver motor.

Rear brake spring. I have found for me the rear brake spring was to heavy. I have changed my rear brake clevis to the ZETA KX 450 blue ali clevis. It matches the rest of my blue anodized parts and weighs 2.5 grams lighter,yer big deal but it looks good. I made a lighter spring out of some old...

Today I draged off a ZX12r from the lights to 110kms in a 50 and my front wheel came up then cracked 217 kms up the Greenhitte bridge [3lanes no cars] rode with a Bandit Blue and SILVER motor like me but was not on crack cause I could afford 98 octane.

Hail You and I I think are on the same wave length.

hellraiser Im new to the forum too. I feel ALL you guys and gals are my family in life now. I brouht my fazer 07 new in o9 and just got a computer now. cracked 217kms&205 today etc--- havent riden for a week and got my fix.

The bug Good on you, your quick to catch the bug and start modifying your new FZ1. I put the Givi V46 top box on 14 months ago and really like it, fitted it myself and agree the fitting kit etc is hard to sus-out on there web site. The 120Km/h speed limit was a joke, Ive been to 220Km/h with my...

Maybe your plugs went off early from preignition [pinging]. It doesnt take much pinging to wreck you plugs. The manual says if you get pinging go to the next higher grade octane. Im stunded you guys and gals are using 89 octane. Its the cheapest no dubt but I have had pinging with 91 [our...

Side cover I really like the checkerplate side cover. Good luck with your rebuild. I am ASME IX tig welding certifyed [refinery carbon steel pipe welding] and wouldnt want to be rideing your chopper.

That lower scoop here in New Zealand costs NZ$850. I want one but I cant justify that price. I got the blue Yamaha rear fender matching the front guard [3C3-W0706-XX-00], that cost NZ$490.88. Yes I went nutty and orderd it and now have come back to reality. Its really nice to have matching...

Its a sad day here in New Zealand for me and my fellow FZ1 riders. Our third largest city Christchurch has been half leveled by a 6.3 quake.

Hi C-Snake your bike looks really nice. They are comfortable for us older riders with the more upright position. Im 53 and dont like lying on the tank. You choose the right bike.

Thanks Thanks for all your comments on motor colour. I understand now that no silver motors went to USA. My bike has black frame and Dark Purplish Blue metalic tank same as all the blue FZ1s in the states. Thanks Bluey I agree the silver motor looks nicer and not at all weird. My picture is in...

Im really enjoying the pictures of all your FZ1s, especialy the late model Gen lls. You all have black motors. My 07 FZ1-SV Fazer has a silver motor. Is my model uncommon or even rare as I am yet to see one in the Forum?

Spark Plugs 3 months ago I fitted a YEC Plug Set which is Yamahas AIS block off kit [ 5VY-A4890-70]. I removed the cam cover to fit the plugs. My 07 Fazer was at 9,5000Kms. I put new plugs in, it didnt need them but there a big job to replace so I did them. Yamaha manual says clean & regap at...

I use BELRAY waterproof grease on my wheel bearing seals etc, its better lasting if you are keeping your FZ1 like me forever.

Hi Missyl1713, I have had the same experince here in Auckland NZ at 2am but I felt the cop was expecting to do a runner like it was a joy ride on a hot bike at that time of night but he was dissapointed he couldnt ticket me for anything. Fz1s have good mirrors to see them coming.

Hello Hi Vampyre, I love your new girl, she looks brand new. FZ1s are comfortable and practical street rideable bikes not like R1s, but with an R1 motor and wheels we all have the best of both worlds. Good luck.
