I have some silkolene pro cool in the shed, but wasn't sure I should risk it.
I don't suppose there is any way if telling what is in there allready.

I will caveat all this by saying, I will be fully flushing and replacing all the coolant, asap.
But.... The bike is fairly new to me (02 FZS600).
And I've just noticed the coolant res is seemingly empty.
I know I could just stick some distilled water in there, but don't have any, and I've no idea what coolant was last put in. So don't want to go putting In the silkolene pro cool I have in the shed, I realise it could be bad if the previous owner has put something different in.
Apart from what I've said above, as I need to use the bike for the next week, what can I do?
Boil some water and top it off? Will that be a problem?

Is there any way to improve this apart from riding like an old biddy??

So I now own an 06 FZ1. Yay me!! Now as far as I am aware, and will soon get time to delve in amongst it all to confirm, the bike appears to be standard apart from a remus end can ( I believe cat removed)and black screen!!
Ive allready noticed the on/throttle snatch amongst a few other things.
But I am wondering weather the mods I've been reading about ie for the Air-box chopping and smaller butterfly valves etc. Are they all absolutly proven to help, as i have seen a few opinions to the contrary?? And can you do all or only some without the need for a power commander?

Hi all. So I'm hoping to pick up an 06 fz1 this Friday, coming from a gsxr 1000.
Ive read a lot of info from various sources, and i notived the very good stuck about gen 1's and was wondering if theres anything like that for the gen 2's??
I think I've got the gist of what the fist mods/upgrades would/should be, ie pc3, de-cat, ais etc if these are not allready done. But im always happy and keen to learn more. So igmf theres any advice or pointing in the right direction please do?!
Tia.

Haha. I have indeed seen a few yobbos on fazers. Im also hoping it's going to be much better for two up when the other half is out, which is something we are trying to do more and more of late, and Im finding it very hard to get comfy on the gsxr with her on the back.
The one im looking at is the faired version.

Welcome. You know your doing the right thing.
Haha. I do believe/hope so, Ive had umpteen sportsbikes and am now on my 3rd litre bike, and to be honest the hype of head down arse up yobbery is starting to wear thin.i just don't seem to be enjoying it all so much anymore. So, time for my second ever upright, a new chapter begins I guess!!
