Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Ohlins kit - what's in it?
« on: 25 December 2017, 01:35:11 pm »
When I bought my 2005 FZs it had an Ohlins shock with remote preload and a sticker on the forks.

The forks are very good and seem to respond to rebound and compression changes, but all I can find online are oil and spring kits.

Is that all that is likely to be in it? Or were there other internals that could have gone into it?

Cheers,

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZs 1000 starting issues
« on: 17 December 2017, 04:43:16 pm »
So, after 6 months of perfect running, my Fazer has become very hard to start.
2006 FZs 1000, 20k miles.

The battery turns it over just fine, and from cold, on full choke, it will catch for a second, but before it will idle, it dies. And then it will spin and spin and make no attempt to fire.

I checked the plugs (CR9E) and they look like they have been there for a long time but were a good colour, sort of grey to tan with no soot and dry.

I thought it a good idea to change them anyway, so a set of iridiums went in this afternoon, but still the same.

I took out the air filter and it is dirty, but not blocked by any means.

I tried it without the air filter too, just the airbox lid on and same behaviour.

I also took no. 1 HT lead off and put in one of the old plugs and turned it over with the plug on the cylinder head and the spark looked good.

Am I missing anything obvious?

Cheers,

LD

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Gen 1 odometer to kms?
« on: 04 July 2017, 02:37:48 pm »
All right chaps and chapettes,

I have a UK market bike in Ireland (2005 Gen 1 FZS), with the speedo in km/h and the odometer in miles.

Is it possible to switch the odometer to kilometres too?

I have a PDF of the manual and function isn't mentioned.

I can set the clock with the Select and Reset button at the same time option, but nothing seems to get you into the ODO functions.

Cheers,

LD

Introduction / How do
« on: 28 June 2017, 10:03:11 am »
Howde all,
I have just become the proud owner of this beastie:


2005 FZS 1000
It has come with a fair few mods.

Akrapovic carbon end can, AIS gubbins and EXUP valve removed.

Ohlins internals forks and Ohlins shock with remote preload, crash bungs, LED rear lights with integrated indicators, colour coded bits and bobs, rad protector, heated grips, comfort seat.

It also has the FZ1 master cylinder for the front brake and braided hoses all round.

Full service history, and less than 15k miles. It's my first Yamaha, having had Kawasakis, Hondas and Ducatis over the years.

As for me, I'm not nearly as interesting, or modified, vastly higher mileage and live on the outskirts of Dublin.

Cheers,
Lord_D
