Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Carburetor maintenance kits for Gen 1

Thanks all for the replies.

By the way, could there be any chance that a leaking floater valve or o-ring could let fuel flood the carburetors and pass on to the cylinders and end up mixed with the engine oil ?

Need to be careful with those massage guns, meant for use only on soft tissue. Id a calf strain from running a couple of weeks ago, so use done on the muscle and around the ankle and heel. Couldnt bear to put my foot down for a couple of days after as Id badly bruised the heel bone.

On a slightly more positive note, I got the bike out toady and rode it to the bike shop for MOT, hopefully pick it up later with a pass. Hands till sore but its only a mile each way.


Yeah, i know what you mean about the massage gun, but i mainly got it for and used it on the palm of my hand to shake some life into moving frozen look of my fingers and not only did it work, but quite quickly to, although i did use it a lot in the evenings every day. But i also tried the end part of the ball shaped adaptor and it nearly rattled my fingers, although the same adaptor is much softer if you use it on the sides instead for any possible sensitive areas.
It's something you find out about after a few minutes of usage though, so it's certainly no big deal, and they're so cheap to buy they're worth every penny.

Thanks darrsi :thumbup
I tried the link, got to the check out, but then had to order some other old tat to get to a minimum price order. So ordered from Amazon for less than the minimum, and will be here tomorrow.  :)


It is annoying, but they did that to keep the postage free, because people were ordering smaller whenever they saw something they fancied, myself included, and they realised to prevent several postage costs each time it's better for everyone involved if you order a several items that added up to £15 or anything above that price.
It does make perfect business sense, and i must confess i would see stuff i liked and just order it on the spot any times a week. Every now and then they'll have 'free postage' session for a short time where the minimum £15 spend is removed.
With me being off work injured for the last few months i've bought every tool i might ever need for the bike or home, and more, plus they have a brilliant selection of boots over there that really caught my attention, way more than i've ever seen over here before, but they sell them at stupid prices so really need to calm down from buying any more.  :lol


Another trick that a work colleague taught me was that if you have your eye on something a bit pricier but are not in a hurry for the item, like a pair of boots or clothing for example, then choose your correct size using the size guide (in the box near the standard sizes), then add it to your cart but don't buy it straight away, just leave the item in your cart for a few days, then more often than not you'll find that they'll suddenly drop in price anyway or you'll personally be offered a special discounted price for a short period of time.
