For Sale & Wanted / FZ1-SA (ABS) for sale - 2007. A must see - completely sorted FZ1« on: 07 March 2023, 11:56:35 am »
Hi guys,
I'm genuinely gutted to be posting my beloved FZ1 for sale but sadly it must go. I've had the bike since 2011 and I've loved and cared for it for my entire ownership. I've used it less and less over the last few years and this year I don't think it'll even come out of the garage due to having such a busy year planned. I'd always said that I'd keep it regardless unless I needed the money for something and there are now a few things that the money could be useful for so keeping this in the garage not being used just isn't sustainable. Besides - this is a bike that needs to be on the road giving someone else some smiles! So, the bike...it's a Red/Black FZ1-SA which is the ABS model and it's a completely sorted machine in every way. It's in beautiful condition and I've always kept this pristine regardless of cost....she's my leisure bike that's always clean and ridden for fun. I'm posting it here before I post anywhere else to give you Foccers 1st dibs, especially as you'll know the in's and out's of these machines and appreciate that any issues such as fuelling have been addressed when you read these specs. I'll put a new MOT on it before purchase btw Here we go then, specs/mods...
![]() ![]() I've included a few pics below and I'd let it go to a Foccer for £3,500 NO OFFERS. I know this will sound like sales patter but it really is a bike that needs to be seen...it's in fantastic condition. I'll put more detailed pics up soon, the ones below are just what I found on my phone. 3

If it does turn out that you need a new stator rotor then let me know as I have a spare one for sale

Hi Jrebera,
More than a guess but still worth you making a call/further enquiry but I can say that the FZ1SA vs the FZ1S difference is the ABS....I can't 100% say that it's the only difference but I've always thought it was (I have a 2007 FZ1 SA). https://www.rexs-speedshop.com/product/flywheel-rotor-yamaha-yzf-r1-fz1-1000-fzs1-fz8-800-2004-2015/ I too am looking at a replacement stator for the same reason you've highlighted....preventative cure and the link above is a company who makes a replacement part (non-OEM). The models it supports just specify FZ1 & Year and doesn't mention the S/SA variants so I assume that the parts are the same. Might be worth calling them to check though. Thanks Mike 5

Hi there!
Definitely drain the fuel, it'll be stale so get rid of it and dispose properly. I'd also remove the spark plugs and pop a small drop of oil in each cylinder. Then, don't attempt to start on the starter motor, instead turn the engine over manually by putting the bike in a high gear and use the rear wheel to turn the engine slowly through the gearbox. The oil you dropped in will coat the inside of the cylinder as they'll likely be dry right now. And yeah, new battery ![]() Best of luck Mike 6

Since the PR2's I've always stuck with Michelin PR's and currently run a set of PR4's on my FZ1. They're simply epic all rounder tyres that can give confidence when hooning around in the dry and confidence when commuting in the wet....brilliant brilliant things!

Ah - just bolt it on with 7 studs....it'll seal fine especially as they're in the centre.

Thanks Zark - much appreciated!
New part due to arrive from the States by the end of the month so I'll let you know how I get on once it's swapped out! ![]() 11

Any advice on preventing that happening if you did it again?
I'm waiting for a replacement stator to arrive as I'm upgrading the part preventatively. My bike is on 41k and I'm about to do a solo trip through Europe in Feb so thought I'd get the new part in for piece of mind. Certainly don't want to put the bike off the road just before my trip so anything you advise would be appreciated! 12

Hi Dave,
I have an intact one for sale but looking for 45 quid so I guess that's out of the price range....see for sale section It's a v46 box Monokey top box. If it's for the bloodrunners, I'd sell it to you for 30 quid + p&p though. Mike 14
General / Re: Halogen headlight switch to LED« on: 14 November 2019, 11:58:38 am »Most of the LED headlight bulbs (H4) have a heatsink WITH cooling fan integrated! The LED lights I bought include the cooling fan but fit into the grommet perfectly, no need to cut anything and I can switch back easily. I bought them from perfLED...think it's a French company 15
General / Re: Halogen headlight switch to LED« on: 12 November 2019, 12:52:33 pm »
I've made the switch on my Gen 2 FZ1 pretty recently. My experience was that the swap out was super simple, it was all plug and play. The LED beam was way too high though and dazzling oncoming traffic so i've had to adjust the reflectors to deal with that but now the beam is pretty good and not dazzling. The beam pattern for the full beams is a little odd though but doesn't cause too much of an issue as it's not often needed.
As I understand it, the law states that LED lights can't be retro-fitted to vehicles that weren't originally designed for LED lighting but I suspect that my MOT tester won't really notice. However, if he does pick it up then it's simply a case of swapping back to the halogen bulbs and off we go. In fact, the swap is so quick ( minutes) that I may as well pre-empt and swap back before I test it. The reason why the beam pattern differs is that a halogen bulb is omni-directional and casts light in all directions and the reflector is designed to reflect accordingly. The LED bulbs usually cast light in either 2 or 3 directions which can cause beam pattern irregularities. As I said though, on my Gen 2 FZ1 it works fine, the light is very bright and has improved the vision at night massively along with the fact that it's refreshed the look of the bike and rolled back a few years. 16
Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Hello Me Decide FZS600 to FZ1-S??« on: 09 November 2019, 05:45:06 am »
Well welcome to the FZ1 then and congratulations.
At the point I bought mine, I was pretty handy and pushing my 600 to the limits pretty well but it was another level as you say. You'll get more and more used to it and in some months or years when it's like a comfortable glove you'll be amazed at it's true power and performance. It can embarrass plenty of sports bikes believe me and yet i've toured all of Europe on mine too.....fantastic machine and that's why I've never considered changing mine in the 8 years i've had it even though i've had plenty of opportunities to do so. Check out this real world review, might give you some tips of what you may want to change. As I said, I had the fuelling sorted on mine so not really sure how bad it can be. Enjoy! 17
Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Hello Me Decide FZS600 to FZ1-S??« on: 08 November 2019, 10:20:03 pm »
I haven't been at this forum for years but good to see the Gen 1 vs Gen 2 argument still raging well
![]() I'll try to help without any bias if I can. I've owned 2 x Fazer 600's and currently have an FZ1 which i've owned for 8 years. My mileage across those 3 bikes is about 130k so here are my brief thoughts on the FZ1: - - The build quality is exceptional and in 8 years it's a tight as a drum without a single rattle or issue. I don't ride like Miss Daisy either - Ignore anyone doubting the engine. It pulls at low revs and is a missile above 6k - it's simple. - If you bought one, coming up from a 600 you will be stunned and addicted....there's no going back. - My FZ1 is a 2007 version and I bought it with a Power Commander, customer fuelling and Ivan's FCE which eliminates the well documented low speed shite fuelling already mentioned. If the one you are looking at hasn't had similar treatment then be prepared to have a crap low speed ride or pay a few hundred quid to sort it. However..... For a long while I had a couple of 600's and my FZ1 at the same time. I got far more enjoyment hooning my way to work on my 600's. Whether that was a SV650 or FZS600. That was purely because I could rev the bollocks off them and throw it around like a goon without doing REALLY silly speeds. The trouble with the FZ1 is that it's so capable, by the time you're really wringing it's neck you're doing triple figures in any gear above 1st!! If I go on a tour or a long weekend ride then the FZ1 is the bike I take but for everyday riding, especially if it's commuting then I don't think it's the right bike really. If it's a leisure bike only then sure, go for it....you'll grin everytime you open the throttle and crap your pants too. But, if you need it every day then you may find it a bit frustrating to ride as it's always within itself unless you're really stretching it's legs on a wide open road regularly. Also, the 35mpg quoted is about right....my FZS600 used to get 55 - 60mpg all day long. 18

Introduction / Well isn't it nice to be back!« on: 08 November 2019, 09:55:19 pm »
....especially as it's been so many years!
![]() I used to hang around here back in the day. I think I first registered as 'Bracechenko' (original that I'm now v2 right! ![]() My current Fazer is a FZ1-SA 2007 with all of the right mods. I've owned it since 2011 and absolutely love the bike so have never considered changing it. Only recently did I start to think it was beginning to look slightly dated but a nice LED light conversion, removal of the Givi rack and a little tidy up around the rear and she looks nice and fresh again. I used to use my bikes to commute and have ridden about 200k miles in the last 13 years but now I only have my 1 bike which is mainly for those occasional blasts along with at least a couple of mini tours of Europe. Well, nice to say hello to you all. I'll upload some pics at some point soon and will likely hang around to see what's going on. I've got a few FZ1 bits which I'll post for sale too. Mike
