Hi, I had the same dilemma on my SV1000. I got the following info for alternator test from Suzuki, but I am sure that the readings given here would be the same.The Yamaha stator will also have 3 wires from it. The Suzuki stator wires are yellow, I'm not sure what the FZ1 colours are, but all 3...

Many thanks Lupin, much appreciated.

Hi all, Can someone please tell me where the indicator relay is on the Gen2. My indicators have ceased to function and I suspect the relay has packed up. Many thanks

Hi, It is probably custom made, but the 4 bolts it attaches to are pretty sturdy (8mm). Herewit a pic of it fitted before I took it off.. I think any rigid pannier could be customised to fit. We get so ripped off here in SA with prices, that the previous owner more than likely had it made for him.

Hi All, Does anyone have any idea which panniers this bracket is for. It was on my bike when I bought it, and I would like to source what panniers I should get. Solid aluminium, quite thick, bolts on to the 4 bolts under the tailpiece that the fender eliminator bolts to.

Hi Zady5, I am definately going to try this. I find the throttle lag a huge pain in the arse. Have to wait till pay day though, at this stage I'm so broke I cant even pay attention.

Hi all, Yesterday evening at the complex where I live, some c*nt put a 4 inch long scratch in the top of my tank. This was definatly deliberate. The last inch is down to the base coat. Is there any way I can touch this up? The bike is gunmetal grey. If and when I find out who did this, there...

I found the cheapest way, I just hoot and my wife opens the door.

Hi Ivan, Many thanks for all the help. Will post how it goes. Kind regards Eric

Hi Ivan, Many thanks for the advice. I bypassed the switch at the harness under the tank, and as per previous advice in my earlier post, I cleaned all the contacts at the ECU. This seemed to have worked for about a month, and then started again. It seems to only happen when the tank is nearly...

Hi, Does anyone have an image showing the ECU pinout for a 2007? Would be greatly appreciated. I'm still having hassles with random code 19 errors, and I thought maybe I could bridge the wires at the ECU. Many thanx Eric

Hi Ivan, I tested the switch when it originally started with the problem, seems fine, cleaned the switch out and lightly sanded the terminals inside. Checked the resistance on both wires, no problem. Code 19 still randomly came on when the key was turned on, so I bypassed the switch at the...

Hi Ivan, Nope, but to import anything to South Africa is not feasible, as our currency as R7.50 to the US $ at the moment, and then we have to pay ridiculous import duties, which makes things hellish expensive on our side. Many thanks anyways. All the best

Hi FZ1inNH, Many thanks for the info, as Mattsplat noted, typical, I was right there when I bypassed the sidestand switch at the connector on the harness. I dont think the switch is faulty, seems very well made, I think it is just a bad connection somewhere.

Hi All, Where is the ECU located on the Gen2. I have been getting an intermitant code 19 when I turn on the ignition. I have temporarily bypassed the sidestand switch, and I still sometimes get the error 19. I just want to check that all connections to the ECU are good. Many thanks

Hi all, Where is the ECU located on the Gen 2? I keep getting a code 19 error, and I have bypassed the footstand switch, and I still randomly get the error code. I need to check if all connections are good. Many thanks

Hi there, I painted my screen on my last bike, a SV1000. Masked the edge of the screen, and the outside, and spray painted the inside with a tin of satin black duco, gave 3 coats. Came out really nice, and cost next to nothing.

Hi, Thanx mate, looks like I will have to order a new switch. I will try cleaning this one in the meantime.

Hi, I'm getting an error code 19, which I understand is the sidestand switch. Any ideas on how to fix this without replacing the switch? Bike cuts out intermittantly. Many thanx

I have the same problem occasionally on my 2007, and when she does start up, sometimes cuts out for no reason while I am riding. Hapend once while I was turning at low speed, and I actually dropped the bike, in the parking lot at the local supermarket, with my wife on pillion. Felt like such an...
