Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Brake discs again
« on: 02 November 2014, 10:57:41 am »
Ok, so I bought a set of Galfer discs and pads. The pads are sintered on the front and on the rear, I don't remember. After having ridden about 1000 miles, 1600km, with them I have to say I like them a lot! My braking distance has decreased quite a bit and braking is very progressive... I think they look good too...

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Brake discs for gen 2
« on: 26 July 2014, 01:28:14 pm »
My brake discs need changing and I'm unsure about which to choose. I've been thinking about getting a set of Braking or Galfer discs, but which are the better choice? Are there better alternatives at the same pricepoint? I've been trawling the net and have to admit that I'm kind of confused... Advise please...

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Open heart surgery
« on: 14 June 2012, 11:43:36 pm »
Oh woe...
About three or four weeks ago my FZ1S gen2 dropped about 100 milliliter of coolant when I arrived at work. I called my mechanic who told me to keep a close eye on the level of coolant in the expansion reservoir. I did and all though the level fell a bit it wasn't much but it seemed that the colour changed to slightly brownish. Since I was planning to go to the Netherlands this week so I thought I'd better have a look at it just to be sure. I dipped a q-tip in the coolant and it came up blue. I had a look at the back of the oil filler cap, no mayonaise.
I'm not all that well versed in things mechanical so I went to see my mechanic. He told me to go for a ride and then keep an eye on the bottom of the engine. Apparently there is a hole which will leak coolant in case the ceramic gasket (Right term?) in the water pump had ruptured. I looked and there was a drop of coolant right where it shouldn't be.
I talked to my mechanic the next day. The verdict was open heart surgery... He will have to change the ceramic gasket, a 5-hour job, and not cheap either.
Have anyone else had this? I haven't read of it anywhere.

Hi there Foccers,
I'm a 41 year old dane who've been lurking on here for quite a while. So I thought it was time to join this forum.
I've got a lava red '06 FZ1s with a few mods; Puig DB, Akrapovic slip-on, K&N- filter, PC V, Autotune, WP shock, ASV levers, HEL brakelines og Poly26 bellypan.

Ready to be fitted: VentureShield, C.D. Flies...


I had a small accident a couple of years ago which left my poor bike a bit scratched, so I'm having it resprayed at the moment. I'm really looking forward to having it on the road again.
