Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / givi topbox
« on: 19 September 2014, 07:07:18 am »
Has anybody put a givi topbox on their fz1s 2006 onwards model and gone against givi recommendations to only use monolock up to 37ltr box with max 6kg weight?
I was hoping to use a bigger box than 37ltr and I also heard monokey is better than monolock. Don't wanna do any damage to the bike subframe because of a box.
Any help is appreciated :-)

General / givi monokey v monolock
« on: 29 April 2014, 11:58:30 am »
hello people i have just phoned up my local yamaha dealer and inquired about having A givi box and recommended that on a fz1 i should have a monolock system wish i was always under the impression that the monolock was for scooters and lightweight bikes. Has anybody on here had a monokey plate on a fz1? I would rather have the monokey with a bigger box than a 37ltr with a monolock plate. many thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fuel consumption
« on: 29 October 2013, 11:05:05 am »
Hi guys. I filled the fzs1000 up at a petrol station, £19 it roughly cost and my warning light has come on at 63 miles. Now I know I've been a bit rev happy because I have just up graded on the 600 however I expected a bit better than 63 miles lol. The MCN review said about 180 miles off a full tank.
Could you let me know what you guys are roughly getting from a full tank please

General / Touring options for FZS1000 (2008)
« on: 20 October 2013, 05:19:35 pm »
Hi guys,
Just traded in my fzs600 (2005 plate) for the 1000 model (2008 plate). It appears the fairing is smaller on the 1000 and the windscreen doesn't protect me much at all from the wind. Has anybody out there put a new screen on and if so which one and where from and how much?
Many thanks, andy

FZ6 / Fazer / New chain & sprockets
« on: 28 March 2013, 05:13:44 pm »
Hi all! I'm new to biking, had my fazer 600 (2005) since October last year. My local bike dealer and also a friend with some knowledge about bikes told me I need a new chain soon..ish. Also advised to change the sprockets at the same time.
Now I would like to become more mechanically minded and with the help of someone who knows what they are doing I would like to replace the chain and sprockets myself. Do any of you think this is unwise? If you think it's best for me to get my bike dealer to do this for me then I would appreciate your input.
Anyone who thinks its okay to do this myself with help from someone who knows what they are doing then what chain and sprockets would you recommend/where to buy them from?
Cheers, andy
