Sorry if I was rude for not replying. Thought I had already received all the replies I was going to get. It took so long to get through customs and immigration at LAX terminal 3, buy the time I hit the road I was 3 hours late. I tried cycle gear, but the range was relatively small, and...

When they change the meet night away from my Swim Club night (or maybe over Christmas). hmmm - 3 FZs - I think the Blackbird Coalition is up to 17... Sorry for the :hi jack:

Get back on your own forum Banzai :hug::welcome:

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like Cyclegear and Chapparl are worth looking at. Gear seems to be about 25% off Australian prices when shopping online, and taking a hit on shipping. I need the gear anyway, so figure getting it while I am there is a good idea. BTW, I'll be driving...

Coming to Anaheim for a work conference. Decided to arrive a couple of days early, and drive from LAX to Vegas (baby), then from Vegas to Anaheim. Looking for a store that will have cheap apparel - i.e. need a new jacket and riding pants, maybe some accessories... I'll just be following the...

old post I know - but (I did this on my KLR650) and it is sort of common for dirt-bikes... You can buy round foam/oil filter inserts (maybe from Finer Filter/Uni Filter) that are designed to plug into holes that you intentionally drill in the airbox...

Just to close this off - I guess between the time I checked in the car park at work, and caught the lift 3 floors, I mixed up what error code I was reading... I had a suspicion that I had done just that, and was confusing Value 20 with Value 30... It was the connector on top of the...

You sir, deserve a knighthood.

Maybe some people use it as a tip over switch - for me, I guess when they designed the FZ1 they didn't expect for someone with my hektik skillz to be riding it. :bs2: :bs2: Thanks for the list, I'll go through the diagnostic mode again this evening and check that there are no other codes...

I had my tank off yesterday to fit some heated grips and associated wiring (coming into winter in Sydney). When I went to use the bike, the check engine light stays on. Following the excellent instructions here; http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-tech/17481-gen-ii-diagnostic-mode.html...

I know this has probably been posted one hundred times, and I apologise. I'm working from my phone with reduced search capability. I am wiring in a relay to power my heated grips. I want a relay so they are only powered when the ignition is on. I need to pick up a wire close to under the...

Like most people, I am willing to pay a small premium to buy local with convenience, but not 100% more... I feel for the LBS, as they are only the end of the chain, yet they are the one people expect to take the hit to match online prices...

Update - Called Local Bike Shop $Au114 for OEM Partshark is $US33.41 + $US39.50 shipping - about $Au68... will wait for other shipping quotes and buyonline I guess. Cheers, Darryl

Yeah thanks... I should have been more specific right from the start... I only looked to Renthal, because here in Aus they normally tear you a new one on OEM pricing... I will ask for OEM first, and if that is going to hurt too much, look at aftermarket... Thanks for your help...

Thanks johnnyontherocks and FZ1inNH I assume that 'flat bar' means no rise... which is what I think the standard bars are... what concerns me is that the renthal spec is also Zero sweep which just seems wrong... I will ask at the Local Bike Shop... but looking at US Prices, the standard...

I tried to measure mine, but the numbers I come up with are nothing close to those above... Dim A 725 Dim B 0 Dim C 0 Dim D 215 Dim E 140 Dim F 226 a '0' Dimension E would mean they are completely straight which isn't what I want... it is possible that my Dimension B measure is wrong as I am...

I need to replace the bars on my 09 FZ1S. Renthal don't list specs of the OEM Bar, only an alternative fitting 658-02 - Road Sports. I am pretty happy with the standard set-up so want something close to that... Does anyone know what the standard specs are compared to these...

For a while, I have been using Caltex/Havoline Delo400 Diesel Oil in all my bikes. It isn't paticularly cheap, 'cause you can mostly only buy it from Caltex Petrol Stations - usually about $50 for 5L... You can't use most normal car engine oils, because the friction modifiers don't allow the...

When I was 25, 6 years ago (b^llshit - I tell everyone I am 31, even the kids, even tho my birth certificate may say otherwise, by 6 years)... the answer to this would have taken up a whole page... When I wasn't competing in the State Rally Championship, I was racing mountain bikes in...

Went through the order process - $US34 to mail to Aus is a bit steep... $40 + $34 = $74 Vs T-Rex @ $13 + $18 (Shipping) - That is a pretty big difference... but T-Rex won't be back in stock for 6 weeks... Anyways - With the OES ones, there are two sizes, measured in some crazy made up...
