Hi, My stator ate itself by chewing the magnets around it and I'm trying to replace the flywheel surround and the stator - I can see shards of magnet poking out of the flywheel which is also firmly wedged on the stator. My real question is.. how on earth do I get the stator to come away from the...

I was really hoping I'd like it, so I built myself up to thinking yeah I can get on to that.....kinda. I then saw it at the NEC and its incredibly underwhelming....heaps of cheap angular plastics and actually less comfortable ergos than the FZ1..for me the looks were one thing but it just feels...

Did the step by step pictures ever get added? :) tempted to do this to mine as its running very rough at the moment and I'm trying to eliminate options

I was bitterly dissapointed to see so many riders jumping out of the way of Rossi tbh. It felt to me like they didn't want to get caught up in being yet another person to flame for racing their own race and being hungry to be top dog. Even if mm could've passed lorenzo... why would he?.. he's...

I bought through the website direct and when I emailed them I added a google translate version of what I was enquiring about and that seemed to help. I was gutted that the fibreglass version didn't fit correctly but the metal singlesided one is great and they didn't ask me to send the faulty one...

Long term report for the monoarm....still going strong. No issues atall. Love what it does to the look of the bike!

I have a US import bike in the uk. Main differences I found are things like no flasher switch, larger indicators, slightly different ecu, no immobiliser on most US bikes as far as i know and the headlight dipped beam isn't uk legal if you leave it adjusted for your roads. You can easily adjust...

Nice to see Rossi back at the front where he belongs! I'm becoming a believer that Marc might do the whole run though. Watching him perform his magic is pretty incredible - a true master of his sport with bags of heart and plenty of will to win. What a let down Cal is though.. last year he was...

Well I took the opportunity to put the UK headlight switchgear unit on the US bike and unfortunately the wiring is different in the loom and it has its own circuit for the flasher. I got around it by just wiring the flash circuit into full beam on off wire and its working as expected. I really...

Hi guys, Finally trying to get my bike back up and running so I'm looking to buy a fair few parts for my gen2. I'm looking for any members who have parts in the UK or are willing to ship to the UK. Forks Handlebar UK headlight Cobalt Blue Fairing Blue fairing lowers Lets get Hef back...

Both really good ideas. Thanks guys! I'll report back to the thread in a couple of days after I've looked it up and talked to Ivan.

Hi guys, I've got a quick question regarding ignition modules. I picked up a 2008 fz1 which has turned out to be a US import that doesn't have the YISS immobiliser in the ignition. I still have my UK standard 2006 Cat D insurance write off which does have the standard immobiliser.. can I just...

Nice to hear you're almost back on the road! I know what you mean about feeling frustrated that you're not out enjoying the riding season though - it feels like it takes forever to sort this stuff out. Hope you have a lot of awesome riding days on the new bike and looking forward to seeing pics :)

Cheers guys. The assessor is coming out next week. Thankfully they've accepted full liability now so hopefully will get this sorted quite quickly. Quite honestly though I really had to to stop myself when this guy was being such a prick.

Cheers for the help and thoughts guys.. the company haven't accepted liability yet but I've been told by my insurance that its a no brainer that the driver of the lorry was at fault and would be dealt with accordingly. I won't rest easy till I hear them actually say they're at fault. They also...

Just had an accident where a lorry in front of me at a T junction reversed over the front of my bike. I could see both his mirrors and I'd left plenty of space but he reversed into me so fast I couldn't back peddle fast enough, he didn't respond to my horn at all. Gutted that the front end is so...

The other one is actually made of fibreglass and there was a fair amount of lateral movement. No doubt this mono version isn't the most complicated bit of engineering so go for building it at home if you have the tools! I've put my weight on the bar and pulled it around and it doesn't shift or...

just taken some quick snaps while I was on a break. Hope these help --> personally I much prefer this mono arm and its very solid.. even takes up less space on the threads of the rear axle.

I've had to go it alone unfortunately. The company sent me the version shown in this thread but due to a manufacturing fault it didn't fit and rubbed against the wheel. I doubt that is the norm though and I'm sure they're being more careful now. The good news is the company upgraded me to the...

I've waited about a week for a response from the company on email. How are you guys contacting them and are they English speakers at all? I did add a Google translate version to what I sent them...
