I'm starting a 2001 fzs 600 project

near mint, advertising all over the place, this is one fazer that will sell extreamely quick ride the rest then come buy the best


all works properly as intended


 easily one of the nicest fz1 on the road with the exceptional colour scheme, with nice sensible mods owned by dedicated enthusiast


20bhp up on stock but feels like alot more,.... test drive similar age  r1 this is as quick.  runs perfect ..



hpi clear 3 owners


brand new mot sailed through tax till jan 2015


mods


de cat mid pipe carbon akrapovic tail
bmc air cleaner 300 ish miles old (fitted) with air box mod
r and g tail tidy ,stock tail included and spare numberplate

d211 dunlop 190/55/ sticky rear tyre near as new
continental contimontion front has 1000 miles left on it , there a match made in heaven and can recommend these two tyres enough
19000 miles on clock but bike looks runs and rides like 1000! except a microscopic nic in the paint on the tank that you will struggle to see

i also have a nitron 2 way shock new with all paper work see my listings

it does not fit on the passenger foot peg mount, and i cant find a picture any were on the net




can any one help

im looking at buying the £500 track shock very soon, but ive found very little reviews on them, im gonna keep the box etc and resell it when i get rid of the bike,


the standard shock is dire and well past its sell buy date, im adding the 190/55 tyre to when i change the shock as my rear tyres shot too, i recently did a fast group at brands and did well but was lacking grip when exiting corners,,


would love to hear from nitron users both good and bad reviews

phone michael in the work shop at ktech, he will rebuild and refurb your stock for for about 2oo with correct spring and oil, or go for the up grade on stock fork for about 450. he can rebuild the rear too, some people say its sealed and not possible he assured me this is not the case the rear was 140


these prices are tailor made refurbs for your weight and usage requirements if the shocks are pre removed from the bike


i was instantly offered a 10% discount too,


 im getting my forks done soon for the up graded front, and a 2 way nitron shock, i dont fancy the r1 up grade, michael assured me its not nessercary if you up grade the front its more than capable of fast circuit use, and to be honest im already doing fast track days on knackerd stock shocks so i imagine the differance will be great,


ktech are suberb

bit new to the givi kappa systems brought monolock rack and plate by mistake but after reading up im gonna buy the monolock 46lt box too,im gonna put a light weight ratchet round it as well just for piece of mind  prob carry 8kg i recon 2 up and not planning on speeding, BUT i am going to nuremberg ring 17may 2014 on my first tour, were im gonna friggin have it large 2 up with luggage, LOL


i usually do track days in the fast group, lol......i consider this a fair test of the lightweight givi luggage,lol

youll be amazed at the perfectly good uses wd 40 has i clean all sorts with it.. it cuts through grease and crud better than any detergent ive ever used


spray in to a rag and wipe your chain ready to re lube is also another ace use


cleaning of "grease/lube fling"  of the body work from the chain is a sinch too, not to mention a superb wheel and brake dust cleaner, NOTE not the brakes just the dust off the wheels

heres mine


just got it theres plenty to be done


new tyres


tail tidy


quick action throttle


front and rear suspension


150bhp at back wheel full ivanise treatment, ecu, p.c5, air filter, air box mod, de cat possible better slip on




3 piece luggage
 

I say the fz1 forks are totally different to r6 and r1, i know they are, but just to settle the arguement,........




my pal recons from the factory the fz1 comes with r6 forks, i say the 25 year old puppy should stick to his old c90 and bandit 600
 
i recon they share no similar parts and are completely different, although they can be easily made to fit

its actually quite palletable

thanks for the prompt reply ,


does any one in uk do this work,


or does any one visit and do the work,


 im fairly competent  if its a DIY job any way,


frame cracker..ouch i never knew about this ...ill have to reasearch it

I am down in Kent right now and a guy doing some work on my brother's house recomended Tagg racing in Ashford. Anyone had any dealings? They are ment to be good at set ups and also dyno work. Was tempted to get my sag set up front and rear as its a bitch to do on your own LOL

care full there part of laguna maidstone and although there ok if things go right they will wipe there hands of you when they dont take your money and run


 BEWARE...BE VERY AWARE, they done me for £1300 and a gsxr 1000k6, supposed to do  a mastercylinder replacement as a V.O.S.A safety recall (shoulda been free) and i never saw my bike ever again until my neighbour eventually brought it from the salvage company. it was damaged them salvaged by them,  then salvage co sold it to my Neighbour,


Id avoid all the bike shops under the LAGUNA MAIDSTONE BANNER, as there all the same there well over priced too at least 30%


just do your reasearch on this group of bike shops the amount of complaints about them on the net is crazy there are 1000s if you look hard enough to find them
