NEWISH FZ1 OWNER FROM NORTHWEST UK HERE!
« on: 18 January 2014, 05:02:39 pm »
Hi folks, got my '09 FZ1 Fazer at the in Nov last year and thought I better join your lovely forum as I'd already joined the other two and found your's while researching the FCE. I had 2 FZ750's back in the day so thought I'd come back to the fold after owning an '04 ZX10 for a couple of years. I also have a Spondon framed RG500 and a Spondon framed FZR1000 Genesis which I'd made to be an FZ1-type bike before they even existed! Anyway, I'm enjoying the forum, there's a wealth of info, and I look forward to many miles on the FZ1,
cheers, Steve

I did it a few times on the ZX, the auto cut off on the Fazer (and other new bikes) really makes you lazy to a quick check! Glad you and the bike were OK there!
