All sorted. Down to a dealer mistake when fitting it.

Where did you manage to find one. All I can find is a USA import.

Don't suppose anyone has a Yamaha comfort seat they are looking to sell. Or if you can point me to somewhere I can buy one. Local dealer just gave me a blank look.

Thanks for that, but battery is fine, engine turns over no problem.
Anyone got any idea how the antenna? for the ECU connects or even where it is?

Guys, bought a 06 plate FZ1. Due to a cock up with the dealer there was only 1 black key and no red, so the dealer had the ecu reprogrammed, today it just refused to start, the red light flashing away, but a few hours later and all is well.


Any thoughts

Suspension no issue as aftermarket one fitted 3 way adjustable. And power commander so throttle issue sorted.
That good news on the suspension..
 
But a power commander does not fix the throttle problem...You need to fix an FCE too fix the throttle on/off problem ...
Can't find the "on off" power issue. But have no idea what a FCE is

Haggled. Got a discounted box. New chain and sprocket set. And on checking. There is a power commander under the seat. Sealed the deal. She picks it up on Saturday.

Well after reading all our moments, a 60 miles test drive, pondering, checking prices etc on the web, we are off to the dealers this morning to haggle and close the deal.  :D

Thanks for the insight. We are back at the dealers tomorrow. The Mrs did find the seat "firm" compared to the one on my FJR. But not uncomfortable. Back to back with her bandit 650 the engine and handling was much better. So I think it's a done deal.

Anything I should be looking for?

Nice - never seen a faired one before.


Of course you have seen one before, its at Weston bike night throughout the summer

For the record
The fairing is a TCP Hawk,
The SP stripes were added by The Vital Sign Co of Weston s Mare
It runs. 4deg ignition advancer
In box K&N
1 tooth extra on the front sprocket
Delkevic end cans
With 118 at the rear wheel

But my new one is faster!

General / Poor Customer Service
« on: 05 April 2012, 09:16:32 pm »
Guys, I put this up in the XJR forum, but thought you may like to see it, as this is a problem we may all come across, knackered brake calipers....
I have seen on here reports of good and bad service, so thought i would add my recent experiance with powerhouse in sheffield.

http://www.powerhouseautomotive.co.uk/

Rear caliper on my XJR had seized on one piston. Stripped it all down, but did not feel to happy replacing the seals and calier centre seals myself so sent it to these guys.
Spoke to them on the phone first explaining the problem, it was agreed that they would clean and reassemble the caliper replacing all the seals and springs as per the website description, so I sent it off and waited, they arrived back a few days later, and on initial inspection i was a bit disapointed, they should have been cleaned in a solvent bath, but were just as i sent them still with deposits of dirt and brake dust, OK this is not a major problem, but it was a part if the service so should have been done, the invoice also showed they had been stripped, recoated and ovan baked, again not done, but in fairness not asked for or paid for, but it was shown as done on the invoice, new copper washers were sent but new R clips were missing.
I contacted Powerhouse and got a reply back, which basically said that all the work was done as required however they did not allow enough time or charge enough to carry out the job as they described, the mail ended with a comment "what do you expect for £39" So I replied explaining that I expected the work to be carried out in a professional manner etc,

The second mail from them was quite insulting, ending explainging that they have blocked my email address as i was being annoying, if anyone wants to see the mails in full just pm me and i will send them to you, but didnt feel it was fair to post them here.

As for the calipers, before fitting and to stop me worrying, i took them to a local bike shop to get them checked, and the work carried out on the seals was fine, it just seems that the attention to detail and customer service is missing.

It may be just an off job, maybe the guy speaking to me has had a bad day, but with brakes being so important, would you use someone that treats you like an idiot and insults you when something goes wrong?

If anyone wants more info please PM me
