Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Gen 2 time clock
« on: 14 July 2014, 10:53:35 pm »
I have an'08 FZ1 that has recently developed a peculiar fault. Every time I turn on the ignition the clock shows an incorrect time no matter how many times I reset it. Any opinions out there?

General / track day leathers
« on: 30 October 2013, 10:12:41 pm »
Hi guys I'd like a bit of info please. I've been given a track day next year as a 65th birthday prezzy and my leathers are a  Spada Magma 2-piece leather suit. Is this suitable or if not is it possible to hire a suit at the circuit. I don't want to shell out for another suit. I'll be on my '08 fz1 fazer.
 
Ta very much

« on: 05 May 2013, 11:50:19 am »
I have a gen2 FZ1Fazer '08 and have a problem with the hazard lights. Indicators work fine ,but when I put on the hazards the indicators blink once then nothing. Also after this happens the indicators stop working for 20-30 seconds and then behave again. Any ideas? Ta.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / front pads
« on: 29 May 2012, 10:31:44 am »
Changed the front pads (EBC)  on my '58 plate gen 2 a month or so ago and have just located a rattle/ clonk when coming to a stop. Traced it to the pads tipping on the pins in the caliper. Anyone else had this problem with EBC pads or have I just got a duff set?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / loss of power
« on: 14 February 2012, 06:52:52 pm »
Hi guys, I have a desperate loss of power at very low revs and wondered if anyone could throw any light on it. Bike is a '58 plate FZ1 fazer with full Akropovic, minus cat and ex-up and no power commander. Came like that from the showroom 2 yrs and 12k ago. Symptoms are these. Approaching traffic lights/junction on a closed throttle up to 2000rpm in 1st/2nd gear 20mph'ish and open the throttle. There is then a severe loss of power like it starts,stops,starts,stops etc very rapidly until it reaches 2500rpm and then she's off like a good 'un. So far this is what I've done. I'm a car mechanic by the way, though this deep into a bike fault I'm getting a bit lost.
1. Checked  oil/coolant levels. If the oil is low on a modern car engine it will lurch into "limp mode". No probs all ok.
2. Changed the plugs  (which have only done 2k) for the old ones for elimination purposes, still same.
3. Let the tank empty and refilled with Shell Vpower and checked idle speed was 1200-1300 rpm. Still same.
4. Removed the tank and checked all the electrical connectors I could see, snapped them open, all nice and dry and refitted. TPS, O2 sensor,primary pump,injectors,plug coils and ecu. Still same.
5. Checked vacuum hoses were connected to the throttle bodies correctly, including Scottoiler pick up. Checked rubber seals between upper and lower airbox halves and airbox to throttle body gaskets. All ok. Road test again, still same.
6. No fault codes shown on dash. Removed air sensor conector from top of airbox and turned ign on. Code 22 appears on the dash indicating that the fault code reporting to the dash is ok.
 
At this point I feel 10 yrs older at the thought of going to my dealer and totting up £57 for each hour they look at it aws I've already spent 20-25 hrs in my garage.
 
I've just managed to get a PDF of the official workshop manual off flea bay for a couple of quid and it's pretty damned good. Only thing now is, via my new manual, to check the ohm values on the throttle position sensor and hope for the best.
 
Anybody out there got any previous with a similar fault or just any ideas as my head hurts now. :'(
 
Ta in advance,

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Mysterious misfire
« on: 17 December 2011, 11:57:36 am »
I ride a '58 plate FZ1 Fazer and have had it for around 18 months during which it has beeen faultless. Last Tuesday, however, I went into town and found it had developed a weird misfire. When moving from a standing start or when filtering on a closed throttle, then opening up there was a severe miss as the engine virtually stopped then picked up, then stopped  and picked up again before flying off up the road. Disconcerting! If the revs are anything over closed throttle (ie 1800rpm) there is no problem. Had the fairings and tank off to see if a connector was making/breaking, especially the throttle position sensor, vac pipe adrift etc but couldn't see anything so opened them up sprayed with WD and reconnected all the ones I could see (except ECU) and went for a ride. Got to the end of the street, still the same. BTW plugs changed about 2k ago. Any ideas gratefully received before it goes to Mr Yamaha and my wallet takes a beating. No fault codes on the dash either. Baffled!
 
 
Ta very much in anticipation.

Old site to new, though not been on for a while. I'm 62 and live in Altrincham, Cheshire and I have an '08 FZ1 with full fairings, full Akrapovic, double bubble, Scottoiler etc and commute daily into Manchester. Like to get out to Cheshire, Wales and Yorkshire at weekends (not all at once!) Rivvy Barn, Squires and Devils Bridge. Had an FZ6 for quite a while and upgraded to the FZ1 about 2 years ago. Great all round bike, went 2 up with top box/panniers to the Ulster GP in August and the bike was brilliant.

Hi everybody. Returning to the site after a while. I'm 62, live in Altrincham, Cheshire and ride an '08 fz1 fazer with full fairings and Akrapovic system. Did visit the old site on occasion and enjoyed it. Do a lot of 2 up with the missus as pillion as well.
