remember back when I were a lad, huge mountains of coal were lying by the road side. Elephants ran wild and NGK suppressor caps were off jet ski's. Box eyes were mk1 and foxeyes were mk2 except for when there was the debate about there being a mk1 and mk2 boxeye. Men made custom tail lights with new fangled technology such as 'LED boolbs' and people argued about the true candle power of the original box eye lamp. Counter Steering of course never did exist and never will. Black was the fastest colour, hero blobs were never mentioned and bikes were put to bed or barbecued dependent upon the meet that they attended. Knowledge would be exchanged, jokes joked and jobs jobbed. The whole site was run by a monkey called UG and we all became proficient at UG speak. I don't like Fazers, I've never even owned one; except for the three that I've owned.
Time goes on, people grow older and to be honest someone told me that this page had been knocked down to make way for a new shopping centre with a Primark and a roller disco which was to be located just south of Carlisle. Clearly i was lied to.

Hi Guys, as yet the mudguard is not sold. I'm waiting for Jetfish's bud to email me. I'm away travelling now and his bud is aware of this fact. I won't be checking back online until Sunday. I'll put up a new thread on Tuesday if it goes unsold. Patience dear foccers  Dougie

I've not been on the board much over the last couple of years but had a wee look tonight to see what the word is. Had a look at my profile and it turns out that I stopped lurking and became a proper foccer 8 years ago to the day  My life has changed so much for the better over the years and I'm proud to say a whole stack of you foccers played a significant part in shaping it, and celebrating in it. Fantastic and fond memories of so many brilliant people. So here's to the foc-u, the foccers and the foccing good times. Gawd bless yurs all! Parp!

as above; try both and take your pillion when you try them.
If you're going for 2up riding then i'd say go for the gen1..possibly a wee bit more comfy for the pillion. I mean, look at the pillion pad on that Gen 2!
eeeeh it'd be like sitting on a razor blade
p.s mpg's I cant quite remember what we were getting on my Gen 1 at the time but I know it was very good

That all sounds like a bit of a mystery. The blue spots are incredible calipers giving great braking and I've never really heard of anyone wanting to get shot of them. Sounds like you've been through the list of things that should put the issue right again..
Have you owned the bike from new? has it ever been down the road/offed/cashed?
Have you had anyone else ride the bike to see if they feel the same thing?

I have this niggling feeling that the 36mm socket I require is in a box which is packed right the way up the back of the garage under about 8 tons of other shit!! ARSE!

That's what I thought and was prepared for Luke, but it's bigger. At a glance 34 or 36mm..? Could this be bigger on US imports??
I was hoping I could loosen it by hand after I'd flattened the washer tabs..but alas the bugger is still decently tight!
off to FZ1oA to have a look see there

Hi all, can anyone advise me on the socket size required for the front sprocket nut (05 Gen 1)?? Had convinced myself that I had the correct size socket from my fzs600 days, but it would appear not.. Cheers, theboydougie
