Hi Guys, Sorry I have been off site for a while,but I have been visiting family in Atlanta.G.....My FZ1N stayed at home in England,waiting for its first service. Well,thats been carried out now,and I have started to open it up. No shortage of power there!!!!.I am glad that I took the time and trouble to find the best suspension set-up to suit the country lanes and B roads,where I get most of my kicks/enjoyment. After trying all manner of settings and combinations, I settled on Standard factory settings for the front forks, and 1 click softer on the rear preload,coupled with standard rebound setting. (It did seem a long way round to settle on almost standard settings,as supplied, but I am glad I did).......I have added two new pieces of equipment. 1st.is a Fly screen by "Ermax",(my bike is the naked version,which I didn't see any of in the U.S.)The screen is black to match the bike. Nice bit of kit,but I didn't like the mounting brackets,as they utilised the top fork-yoke pinch bolt. I believe that that bit of ironmongery should be left to do just the job it was intended for,so I manufactured some new "hidden" brackets,which worked out fine...2nd. was a Rentec grab-rail. This really was well made and fitted perfectly first time. The only thing I had to do extra was to "ease" the pillion seat latch,as with the rail fitted,it was a little reluctant to latch properly.
I am very pleased with my bike now,but, sods law has decreed that the weather has now turned bad here,and I am not getting the chance to ride it very often. Looking forward to Spring!!!!!!!!
