Bike has been laid up for a while. I had the carb's ultrasonic cleaned because the throttle valves were stuck in the closed position . They had previously been full monty Ivanised by Mike and all was well up until I had to stop riding the bike. Now has 7k error code which is obviously the EXUP faulty after a period of non-running. I will sort this out but...…. Bike started up fine but settled to a very fast idle, well over 2000rpm and fiddling with the idle adjuster does nothing. Is this likely to be due to the EXUP before I check the throttle cables and, if needed, tear the carb's back off - which I'm loathe to do yet again? Could the fast idle be due to incorrect float heights when reassembled by the ultrasonic guys at Ragged Moto?

I know it's dubious but has anyone replaced the airbox with pod filters on a gen1 and it ran okay???

Reasonably good condition, but please note last picture shows a barely perceptible dent, less than 0.5mm deformation. Wheel runs straight and true. Bearings are good. £100. Price includes secure packaging and delivery by Hermes, which will cost me about £10. Or you can collect from North Devon.

As they came off my 2001 bike with less than 13,000 miles on the clock. Slight pitting to lower part of stanchions but passed mot okay. Oil seals popped at a track day so need replacing. As far as I know stock internals; previous owner might have fitted different springs but still feels stock squishy to me.
Offers please:-

Just had Falcon269 do the Ivanising and other intake work on my FZS. As others would have found out he's a top bloke who knows the carb' upgrade job inside out. A million thanks pal I had my doubts, but straight away from the first test ride I could tell an appreciable improvement in responsiveness and definitely more get up and go from the smoother idling right up through the mid-range - haven't had a chance to max it out yet but will do asap Bike rides like it's new and not an old nail I'm definitely now another one in the camp of "you must get this mod done"

What am I missing? How do you get the airbox out of the way on a gen1 to work on the carbs??????? I've got tank (including rear bracket) off, side covers off, airbox sides off, airbox lid off, battery out, as many screws and bolts and hoses as I can find undone. I've the airbox loose off the carbs but can't see how to remove it completely from the bike. Do you have to separate the front and rear parts of the airbox, if so how do you get at the screws? Shop manual says drain the coolant; why???

As well as the fuel filter between the tank and fuel pump should there be what looks like a fuel filter between the fuel pump and carb's? I've good flow to the offending article and poor flow out of it????? If it's an auxiliary filter will I be okay to bypass it or is it some kind of check valve - doesn't seem to be a one way valve just poor flow blowing through it in either direction. I think a previous owner may have fitted it??? Pic shows the item in the hose between pump and carb's (temporary routing whilst working on the bike):-

No longer doing drag and van sharing for track days so my single bike trailer is up for grabs. Will take extended swingarm B-King (2450mm overall length) and has carried my 250kg wet weight Busa. The channel is 212mm wide so you could get a 240 section tyre in there. Everything is in fine working order, just a few bits of surface rust that could do with rubbing back and a lick of paint. Does not come with ramp or Mazda shown in photos! I'm in North Devon.
£150 - reasonable offers anyone????

Has anyone modified the airbox? The area of the air intake looks, at first impressions, to be rather small.......

Anyone have a skaggy seat they want rid of? I want a "resculpted" seat (ultra thin foam and hump on pillion section) and also want to keep my stock seat.

Going to take the FZS1000 to Llandow for a track day with the SouthWest Bikers crew. We may have places available if anyone wants to play??? Have the bike in the workshop for fettling - will fit decent rear shock off a B-King - not sure what to do to uprate the front suspenders for track days. USD conversion will be a pain, what can be done with the stock front end?

I want to completely remove the top yoke to respray it. How do I disconnect the wiring to the main key switch? Or will I have to drill out the (very hard) security bolts to remove the whole switch assembly from the top yoke???? I've downloaded the workshop manual and can't find an answer there.
