So, the red light is still on. Also it seems like while the bike is idling there is quite a bit of exhaust coming out of the exhaust, as well as at the base of the exhaust underneath the engine. There's no leaks and I cleaned off the 4 pipes very well. But it seems to be coming out of the big...

Well the oil filter did take me a while to get off but I finally did. I put the new one on the way ya'll told me primed it and tightened it the correct way. I plugged the drain plug and I began to put the yamalube in. I put in the 3.7 quarts in just about and I'm having a hard time seeing the...

Hi there, here's an update.... I Siphoned the old gas, I put a few ounces of seafoam in and put in new gas. It took a moment to start up but it did, although it seemed strange to me because when the choke was all the way up it never rose about 2k rpm which I remember it going nearly up to 3 in...

Sooo far I've just attached the battery to a trickle charger, the lights turn on. I haven't tried to fire it up yet because I am worried about the gunk/gas/carbs problem. I've gotta wait for a family member to come with me to go buy the oil/oil pan/filter I can't carry the stuff with me on my...

Hello there community, I had to take a unfortunate vacation very suddenly about 14 months ago....And my 2003 yamaha fz1 has been sitting the entire time, with gas and oil in it. I didn't do anything special to it when I had left. Please guide me through the steps and materials I'll need to...

My 2003 FZ1 has a hole in the engine casing it's leaking big time. It has a few cosmetic problems as well. I seen a 2002 FZ1 on craigslist for cheap with about double the miles....But 6000 miles ago the guy who owns it rebuilt the engine with practically all new parts. So my question is if I buy...

I have a 2003 FZ1. Lately I've been having many passengers but I always end up using my back pack's plastic clips to carry my 2nd helmet when I go and pick up girls. Sooo Does anyone have a easy/functional alternative to carry a 2nd helmet on an FZ1 without a backpack? The lock that unlocks my...

I found some extra brake fluid in my garage it's "EBC Brakes DOT 4 Brake and clutch fluid" Is that cool to use on my 2003 FZ1? The brakes seem kinda like they could use improvement and the level on the front brakes looks less then half.

The Peg Mount on the Back right?

Ahhh so then it will rotate away from the wheel some? You mean the "HMF" part to face directly outward?

Does this clasp need to be flush with the exhaust? I needed to readjust the exhaust to make it flush with the base beneath the right foot peg and to readjust the rubber in between the clasp and the top of the exhaust. Well I ended up moving the exhaust forward like an inch to make it flush now...

Sooo I changed my clutch cable, also changed my ignition and some other stuff. How often do I relube my clutch cable now I've changed it? Any specific product recommended?

I'll have to when I get back near the bike it's actually super lame and disheartening not having the bike outside the building I'm in right now. I'm having someone find&fix the short in the handlebars that kills the bike when I'm going slow and turn the handlebars to the left. So I was riding...

It's not the drain plug, initially I guess since I've had the bike the bike was filled with too much oil that was like 2-3 weeks till I had someone tell me about that so drained and filled to correct level it was. While we're here though anyone have suggestions on front & rear sprockets cause...

The one and only bike I've ever ridden.

So that is where it leaks from on a 2003 FZ1 New to riding and new to mechanical work. Just started a few days ago, I don't want to take it to a dealer because i'm damn near broke and don't want to be broke. Any ideas based on where it's dripping from I think I tracked it to a umm gasket? it has...
