Andrew, As TimeBombAZ mentioned I do indeed live in Morrison. I have had my FZ1 for about 8 years. It is an awesome bike. We are very lucky with the type of riding we have here in our back yard. The big plus with Denver is that it is hard to build a road straight up and over a 14k foot...

Banned???? I was on the other FZ1 site reading the help section when I ran across a guy that is having the same problem that I just fixed. I tried to post a reply with a link to this thread to help him out and I was immediately banned from the web site.. Is there some bad blood between the...

A Kawasaki?????? I guess if that is what you want to ride??? LOL!!! Hey bro, awesome bike! Nice pictures! I will be down in september. I want to ride it! I am not sure how you and the older bro are now riding Kawasaki's, but I am keeping my Fz1!

Thanks! Thanks guys for all the help and kind words! BroHay, Just like FZ1riderNY stated. Grab a multimeter and select the Ohm position and use one lead from the meter on the top of the cap and one on the spark plug side. It doesn’t matter what lead you use for either side when you are...

Update Last week I received the new spark plug caps that I ordered. I promptly removed them from the box and checked the resistance of each cap with a multimeter. All the new spark plug cap measured between 9.9K to 10.3K. This was right in line with what I had read in the maintenance manual...

I am sure that showing up in the color blue would be a great motivator.. LOL.. Well the evil has returned to the Bee... It started to miss again. :( When I started it up and it started to miss I started to poke around the motor and I noticed every time it missed I could hear the snap of a plug...

Your not going to believe this! I got my Bee running this weekend. I decided to pull the carbs off my bike this weekend and check to see if the problems that I was having was due to faulty inlet O-Rings. As I am taking the bike apart It is becoming more and more apparent that the carbs have...

BroHay, I spent some time digging around on the Net and I came across this.. Found a new carb failure mode today - FZ1OA Message Board This sounds a lot like what my Bee is doing. I am going to order the o-rings and pull the carbs this weekend.

Yeah, I will NOT be bringing my bike back to that dealership! Hey BroHay... I started the bike cold and used a spray bottle to wet the pipes.. All the cylinders got hot very quickly except the number one cylinder. It remained cool to the touch. Of course the bike was running rough. I let...

BroHay, Thanks for the reply. I did let the dealership know about the plug cap. I brought it in when I took the bike back the first time to show them that it was cooked. I guess the they compensated me for the plug cap by only charging me half price on the carb service that didn't fix...

I have an 03 Bee with 32k miles. I bought the bike with 500 miles on it from a local dealer. This bike was a Mechanic's Demo bike. My bee came with an ART slip-on pipe installed. When I purchased the bike I was told that the jetting on the bike was changed to work with the pipe. I have had...

Hello everyone! New guy here. My little brother is a member and suggested I check out the site. I purchased my FZ1 new in 03. I currently have about 31,000miles on it. What an awesome bike. It has never needed anything but tires and fuel. I am not sure there is a better bike out there? I...
