Hi all, I'm about to change the oil on my FZ1 ABS 2012 (my first time changing the oil). The manual says I should replace the engine oil drain bolt gasket with a new one, but there is no part number and I can find it on Fowlers. Can I just use a crush washer? and what is the size?
Thanks,Bikebud.

Hi all,


I had my bike washed a few days ago, and it seems that water got through to some loose wiring (the bike has alot of after market add on and shaddy wiring). When I switched the ignition key, the engine started on its own, indicators blinked randomly, and Check Engine and ABS lights came on.


I left it to dry out in the sun, and engine start, engine check light, and indicators went away. But the ABS light remains on (i think the ABS has stopped working) and even when I take the ignition key off, the fuel pump keeps buzzing, until it drains the battery.
But otherwise the bike starts and seems to run fine.


Any ideas what causing the fuel pump to stay on? I plan to lift the tank start disconnecting things until I find the culprit, but not sure where to start.

Hi all,


I bought a 2012 FZ1 S ABS a few weeks ago. I'm loving the bike, but not very impressed with the brakes. They are a bit spongy and take a bit of time and squeeze to stop the bike, although the pads are new and the fliud was replaced before I bought it.


What would be a good, relatively cheap upgrade? Thinking of putting some braded lines, but I dont think that would be enough.
