Hi guys,


I'm genuinely gutted to be posting my beloved FZ1 for sale but sadly it must go. I've had the bike since 2011 and I've loved and cared for it for my entire ownership. I've used it less and less over the last few years and this year I don't think it'll even come out of the garage due to having such a busy year planned. I'd always said that I'd keep it regardless unless I needed the money for something and there are now a few things that the money could be useful for so keeping this in the garage not being used just isn't sustainable. Besides - this is a bike that needs to be on the road giving someone else some smiles!


So, the bike...it's a Red/Black FZ1-SA which is the ABS model and it's a completely sorted machine in every way. It's in beautiful condition and I've always kept this pristine regardless of cost....she's my leisure bike that's always clean and ridden for fun. I'm posting it here before I post anywhere else to give you Foccers 1st dibs, especially as you'll know the in's and out's of these machines and appreciate that any issues such as fuelling have been addressed when you read these specs.

I'll put a new MOT on it before purchase btw

Here we go then, specs/mods...
  • Mivv titanium can - it's a thing of beauty!
  • Power Commander 3 with custom fuel map (custom map file will be provided)
  • K&N filter
  • Ivan's FCE (Fuel Cutoff Eliminator) - This addresses the well documented early fuelling issues.
  • Ivan's throttle bodies.
  • Uprated springs & shims in front forks.
  • Re-worked rear damper
  • Heated grips
  • Gear indicator display
  • LED Headlights
  • New DID X-Link Chain & Sprockets
  • New Michelin Pilot Road 5 rear tyre (Front needs replacing soonish)
  • New brake pads front and rear
  • Uprated stator flywheel - Preventative measure to replace well documented risk of failure from Yamaha design.
  • vSystem ScottOiler
  • USB Power Outlet
  • Motech Tank bag with lock in system
  • Motech rear panniers
  • Fully integrated alarm system.
  • Spare key including red key from dealer.
The bike is on c.48k miles (will confirm exact mileage shortly) and has never failed an MOT or even had an advisory until the most recent one! The recent advisory was for a 'noisy exhaust' which I should have complained about as it's the same exhaust that's passed for the last 10 years....the only thing changed is the tester at the station...ruined my perfect record!  :wall :D .


I've included a few pics below and I'd let it go to a Foccer for £3,500 NO OFFERS. I know this will sound like sales patter but it really is a bike that needs to be seen...it's in fantastic condition. I'll put more detailed pics up soon, the ones below are just what I found on my phone.

Introduction / Well isn't it nice to be back!
« on: 08 November 2019, 09:55:19 pm »
....especially as it's been so many years!  :D


I used to hang around here back in the day. I think I first registered as 'Bracechenko' (original that I'm now v2 right!  :rolleyes ) when I bought my 1st bike (FZS600) back in 2006. Well since then I've had 4 motorbikes in total and 3 of them were Fazer's so I reckon I qualify as a fan.


My current Fazer is a FZ1-SA 2007 with all of the right mods. I've owned it since 2011 and absolutely love the bike so have never considered changing it. Only recently did I start to think it was beginning to look slightly dated but a nice LED light conversion, removal of the Givi rack and a little tidy up around the rear and she looks nice and fresh again.


I used to use my bikes to commute and have ridden about 200k miles in the last 13 years but now I only have my 1 bike which is mainly for those occasional blasts along with at least a couple of mini tours of Europe.


Well, nice to say hello to you all. I'll upload some pics at some point soon and will likely hang around to see what's going on. I've got a few FZ1 bits which I'll post for sale too.


Mike
