Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Vibration (again)
« on: 08 September 2014, 06:49:31 pm »
Got a vibration through the right hand bar at 80ish mph. It starts at around 4k and is worse at around 5k rpm. It makes my fingers go completely numb after awhile. Can get it to do it on the centre stand, so engine related as far as I am concerned. Will check the carb balance when I get a chance. Have checked the TPS, loosened engine mounts and retorqued them all to no avail. Any other things to check? Surely this can't be normal!! Bike will have to be sold if it is, I do most of my miles sitting at those speeds so need it to be smoother. Any ideas chaps.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / 17T front sprocket
« on: 29 August 2014, 07:07:00 pm »
Anyone run a 17 tooth front sprocket? Just done 640 odd miles, mostly motorway and I feel just over 5000rpm at 80mph is a little revy for my liking. Mpg was between 47 and 50 so happy with that, but lower revs should improve this further. Will my speedo over read or under read?

For Sale & Wanted / Gen1 screen
« on: 15 July 2014, 08:34:37 pm »
After a taller/wider screen for gen1 1000. I have the standard screen and a taller, flip type screen, but being 6'5" I need more. The mirror mod has done away with the turbulence, could just do with losing some of the wind blast.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Bar clamps
« on: 12 July 2014, 05:58:52 pm »
Can anyone tell me how high standard gen 1 bar clamps are please, from the top of the yoke to the very top of the clamp would be good, ta :)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Rear mudgaurd
« on: 28 June 2014, 07:55:44 pm »
Is the rear mudguard a separate item on the gen1 or is it all in one with the undertray? Some previous owner muppet decided to cut it off and the lights, seat etc now get covered in road grime.


Anyone got one for sale?

General / What do you do
« on: 20 June 2014, 08:18:51 pm »
Not sure if there is a similar thread on here, so please delete if so.
 
I work in arboriculture, we keep the powerlines clear of trees and vegetation. Bit hot this time of year in full chainsaw kit, but outside in the sun, so can't grumble.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Jumpy gauge
« on: 17 June 2014, 09:14:05 pm »
When the fuel tank is full the needle shows full and is stable, when it starts to drop it waves around quite alot. Is this most likely a dodgey sender unit?

General / Cruddles
« on: 11 June 2014, 07:36:19 pm »
Does anyone recognise the user name cruddles? Think they may have been a past member on the old yuku board. Not sure if they were a past owner of my bike. Would be interested to know what useen mods the bike has had.

This guy makes me chuckle. What must motorists think when he goes blasting by.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Motad venom
« on: 09 June 2014, 06:08:27 pm »
I'm thinking of getting one of motads venom cans, anyone got a pic of one fitted and are they shorter than the original can?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / gearing
« on: 06 June 2014, 08:46:03 pm »
Now that its taxed I was able to have a little spin tonight, very different to the old zx10. It seems abit hair trigger on the throttle to me. I thought the gearing may have been changed. Front is 16 and rear is 44, from what I gather that is stock. 60mph in top gear is 4000rpm, seems abit high to me. That would be 80mph on the old zx. Alot of my miles are on the motorway at 80mph+, this will be sitting at close to 6000rpm, surely that can't be right. Ivans kit fitted with K+N and it has loads of go. Does that sound right to you guys and can I gear it more for the motorway?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / original zorst.
« on: 04 June 2014, 07:59:50 pm »
Is the original zorst can a slip on one or is it all in one with the link pipe. Wondering if I need to order a link pipe for a motad venom can or just the can itself. Ta for any help.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Number plare
« on: 04 June 2014, 06:17:14 am »
Is the rear number plate holder/mudgaurd a seperate part, or is it all one with the undertray part. Just realised what looked different on mine, someone has cut it off to "improve" the design :rolleyes And if it is, has anyone got one? Will put it up in the wanted section if so.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Is this normal?
« on: 31 May 2014, 06:00:42 pm »
Is it normal for fazer1000 gen1 to like starting without choke? I'm used to an old zx10 that loves choke, revs its doodahs off and then settles down. Only just got the fzs and starting from cold requires no choke. Starts straight up, doesn't smell rich, ticks over and idles nicely. The  other quick question is, is it normal for the fan to cut in after ticking over for 5mins in a shed. Thanks for any insight.
