Hi all,
Just took delivery of an 05 FZS1000S,
I'm looking at going back to a standard can, I have found some on EBay, just wondered if they are all the same system from 01-05?
Also my right hand switch gear has a blank where I would normally find a switch for side/main beam etc, the lights are hard wired to be on all the time, is this standard?
Please excuse the newbie questions, and thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers.
Daz.

I'd encourage you to check out the FAQ at the top of the main page, it sounds like your bike is a US import and the FAQ will help you confirm this as well as giving you a lot more useful information. As far as I am aware the OEM silencer should be the same fit for all GEN1 bikes but I can't see why you would want to fit a heavier more restricted system unless you're in a country that requires OEM kit to pass an annual inspection.

The headlight switch was removed from the UK/EU market Gen 1 in 2003 or thereabouts so that's normal and doesn't indicate yours might be a US import. :)
The 2005 year stock silencer has 3 tubes inside the link pipe which are part of the token catcon fitted to the final year Fazers. Makes no difference to fit or performance if you happen to get one for your bike.

Thanks for the info bud, It is a UK bike I have so just wanted to check it wasn't a mod or something strange.

I did check the FAQ but couldn't find anything re standard systems. I understand what you mean bud but I just don't like noisy cans, It has a Fuel can fitted that isn't too bad but on long trips I find them anoying.

Fair enough, though I have a Fuel can and with the baffle in I wouldn't say it's much louder than the OEM can just a different tone. I take it you definitely have the baffle fitted? If you have it might be worthwhile taking it out just to check it hasn't been modified to make the can a bit louder. Fuel can sell you a replacement baffle if necessary. Failing that maybe when you get your OEM can you could send the Fuel one back to Fuel to get it re-packed and try it. It just seems a shame to add the extra weight and restriction to the bike, especially if it's been Ivanised but I'm guessing that's not the case !?!

Another thing to Bear in mind is has it been ivanised, a standard can might cause problems if it’s had a full monty, mike might be able to advise better.
