The previous owner put billet pegs on so I had a spare set, experimental but it worked ok I take them off for normal city riding. A hose clamp and a small bolt keeps it fairly solid, the bracket is an old speaker bracket used the existing  hole and cut and bent to fit, comes off leaving the bracket still attached.

Hey guys, I just ordered the 755's for mine. Did you fit weighted bar ends or just plugs? Any feedback on vibes better or worse?
 
Thanks Shack

The shock was $50 CAD on an eBay auction I was the only bidder, supposedly brand new, shipping $90 CAD. Have you got any at a good price Luke?

Thanks I have ordered stock pilot jets and needle valve sets fairly cheap from boat.net


http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/2003/FZ1%20-%20FZS1000SPR/CARBURETOR/parts.html


I will pull the carbs off again and replace all the parts back to stock except for Ivans kit.

The bike shop said it was a fouled plug no 2 they put a new one in, I started up ready to ride home and running on 3 again :( mechanic comes out changes no 1 plug and its ok, they say it is over fuelling causing the plugs to foul up. Strange how it has been ok since September. I Ivanised the bike after I bought it but am not sure what had been done by the previous owner as the main jets were not stock. It may have been on a Dyno  and maybe the Pilot jets have been changed to larger ones anyone have any experience with this issue?


Thanks

Its been dry and hot in Perth so I doubt it would be moisture, I have dropped it at the Yamaha dealer to see what they think is the problem, low mileage 34,000 kilometers on a 2004 FZS1000S.

Ok so if a coil fails it takes out both cylinders 2 and 3 or can part of the coil fail? as in my problem only stopping number 2 firing.

I started my Gen 1 this morning and it had dropped a cylinder, I suspect a coil has failed affecting  number 2 is this a common issue on the FZ1000's any help appreciated.


Cheers Shack
