Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fuel Cut Eliminator
« on: 22 June 2020, 06:50:14 pm »
Been looking into getting a fuel cut eliminator for my 2007 FZ1, has anyone got any opinions on whether to bother or not? Can you still get them? Are there any alternatives?


I'm thinking about it as it can be a bit skitty at the back when you re-apply the throttle while going round a bend.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Colour Change
« on: 18 May 2020, 06:15:51 pm »
I'm contemplating changing the colour of my gen 2 but undecided as to what to change to. Has anyone got any ideas as to what they would do if they could? Current colour is Teal green, not a great one I know, but the rest of it looks good. Looking to paint the tank and the rear fairing and possibly the new belly pan.


I quite fancy a darkish metallic or pearl but there's so much choice!!!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZ1 Comfort
« on: 16 May 2020, 08:09:27 pm »
Been out on the bike a few times in the last few days and have noticed that I can only do about 40-50 miles or so before it starts to feel a little bit uncomfortable on the seat, has anyone else had this? I pull over and have to stand and walk around for 5 mins or so before I get back on, seems strange too as I have got a comfort seat...don't know...maybe it's just me getting old  :lol

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZ1 wobbly mirrors
« on: 03 May 2020, 02:45:15 pm »
Has anyone got a fix for this? The mirrors wobble at the point where they join the fairing but when I raise them they stiffen up again. I know there is some kind of mechanism inside but it's lost it's ability to hold the mirror legs/arms firm when folded back out.


Is there something I can do or is it new mirrors?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZ1 General Maintenance
« on: 21 April 2020, 07:07:54 pm »
This is just an idea but has anyone done some sort of checklist for checking certain parts of the bike at either time or mileage intervals for us "Novices" ?


Also what about general checks before and after a ride out?


Might be useful and safe for those of us that are "not sure"

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZ1 Touring Screen
« on: 24 March 2020, 03:20:40 pm »
Can anyone recommend a screen for the FZ1? I'm 6' 1" and would like to divert as much air around me as I can as I felt like I was going to get blown off the bike the other day.


Cheers  :) [size=78%] [/size]

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / First Ride on Sunday
« on: 23 March 2020, 07:53:05 pm »
Took the FZ1 out on Sunday on my first ever ride on it and must say it's bloody fast  :eek


Haven't ridden a bike on public roads for over 30 years but it soon came back after about 20 mins. Stayed out for nearly 3 hrs just sticking to speed limits and country roads mainly as I just wanted to get used to it before I go out on a more regular basis in the summer.


Got muscles aching in places I didn't know I'd got  :D  I think I may have been tensing up a bit. Went past a well known biker cafe while out and there must have been close to 100 bikes there all in close proximity and getting coffee's from some sort of portable outlet...bit risky given the circumstances.


Must admit it felt like the wind was trying to blow me off it...may need a bigger screen!!  :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Tail Tidy
« on: 10 March 2020, 11:47:19 am »
Thinking of putting a tail tidy on my FZ1 and wanted to get everyone's opinion on which one to get. I would also like to fit LED indicators too. It's a 2007 model.


Any recommendations?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Belly pan or not?
« on: 27 November 2019, 10:01:37 pm »
Thinking of getting a belly pan for my FZ1 as I really like the look of them, but what do others think? Would you or not...I think they look good!!  :D

Introduction / New owner
« on: 17 November 2019, 09:30:35 pm »
Just introducing myself people. I have just bought an FZ1 2007 57 plate in green 20k on the clock, looks great but I don't get it until Saturday. I rode back in my teens and haven't owned a bike since so it's all new to me again. "Born Again Biker" I think is the phrase.  :lol


I'll be popping in now and again for advice etc.. and to put my 2p worth in on anything interesting!
