moved over to the dark side
« on: 08 December 2013, 07:21:32 pm »




well guess it was going to happen as pushed the gen 1 to limits of the force

picked up this 09 with a small gearbox issue which took 30 min's to fix yep the return spring was broke
the garage told the previous owner he was looking at £1500 to fix it (yeah right)

he then went out and bought a triumph oh well

all i have done is bin the mirrors and fit a scot oiler and some levers

so wat do i think yep it no fazer bit like a pit bull on a short lead that has seen a cat - fueling on this is ok i recall drillers 06 and this is way different

so time to explore the mods my way should be fun

Well good luck in your new project, should be good to follow it.
 
I never had an FZS to compare , i just hang around with some who have one.The ngine on those FZ1S are just as stonking as the FZS, bruteish, you will love the 7 to 10 thousand revs pull and noise.

Looks good, but once you've got your mitts on it, it's going to look much better. Let me know how it compares to your fzs's :)

I sincerely hope I'm not about to piss on your bonfire ! And that you do no the history of that bike and i don't mean the small gearbox issue either.

oops what I was referring to was can't wait to see what Luke does with it!

First thing should be to put some clean underpants on as he doesn't want to taint the gen2 with the smell of wee :lol

Christ, chill out Luke! If I understand his meaning, he merely suggested you bought it legally, after it had been recovered by the police after some other cunt nicked it. Calm down, FFS!

Looking forward to seeing what craziness you do to that Gen 2! :)

Well well well...what do we have here then....!  :lol
 
Luke on a FZ-1 !  :eek
 
Well I spose I have a GS , so that kinda evens it up eh !   ;)
 
Seriously though, you can pick up FZ-1 so cheap these days for its power , its worth a look by anyone. I always liked the handling , just prefer the mid range grunt of the FZS. But it has been a long time since I rode one, be interesting to see how it feels now.Be interesting to see just what you think to it and any mods which work for you.
 
It could be a good thing for the forum to have Luke let rip on a FZ_1.... :)

Never mind him Christo obviously having a bad day or even a bad week....in fact if you look closely you'll see that there is drops of blood on the seat, so its not a Gen2.....its his menstrual cycle :lol
