I've asked a question, if you can't answer it with a reasonable answer then don't comment, what have I done to you! I have googled it and there has been a few issues.
Just got an fz1 gen 2 did do a fair amount of research before I parted with any cash, I did not find anything about the generators having a problem. I would also be interested in answer from members on this forum. Not being a member or knowing this forum even existed at that time I did not research on here. I am a member of a couple more owners forums as I have 3 bikes both the other forums the members are keen to help and always points you in the right direction without the bad attitude.
