Hi everyone, first post here, though I've been following the forum for quite some time.
I have Ivanised my FZS 1000 a couple years ago, standard kit. The job was relatively easy even for the first time, thanks to the information available here and Pat FZ1 site.
Although it was fun in the beginning, I feel the throttle response to be much sharp and too sensitive for everyday riding.  I would say it is the equivalent on a modern bike to run in sport mode. It's fun to do occasionally, but not all the time.
Any thoughts on that ? Anything worth doing ?

Hey everyone,
After years lurking around, I decided finally to join the community.
Got my FZS 1000 new in 2006 (just before Gen2 was coming out). Have now 45000 km of happy riding !!!

Mods and upgrades: 
- Ivan carb kit (standard)
- Nitron R2 rear shock 
- Akrapovic muffler 
- Magura Hydraulic clutch 
- Yamaha led turning lights 
For touring:
- MRA vario touring screen 
- Givi side bags / Kriega US20

Cheers 

  Always fit my own bike tyres to prevent others butchering the rims, should I use genuine purpose made tyre lubricant?  Used washing up liquid in the past but been told it has salt in it which isn’t good for the alloy rims?

Evening all


I’ve just bought a 2002 FZS1000 new to Yamaha too, don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get one, always had Kawasaki or Suzuki.


So I’ll be hanging around a lot on here to pick up valuable info.


Oh yeah I’m in South Wales


Cheers :thumbup

Nothing to do with me, just saw it on eBay.


Interesting custom Gen1 for sale.

Just checked my clearances in my 2003 fazer has 27k miles on it. All the clearances are in tolerance but only just. All my inlets are .11-.12 and exhausts are .21-.22. Question is should I leave this as it is or go get it re shimmed so they sit on the upper end of tolerance as they get tighter with age! Thanks in advance

my fuel hose has sprung a leek  :eek ...Anyone got a spare they would like to sell ?...Its for my 98 600 but i think all 600`s are the same. It runs from the petrol tap to the fuel filter. £56 on fowlers  :eek

'03 Fazer 1000 black frame and black engine with log book in my name. it's done 43k and was known to be a good runner before the bike was broken. I bought it for a project from a fellow forum member (Reaper) but have done nothing with it since. £150 collection from Fareham Hampshire.

Hello all
As I won’t be needing it for my project, I have a used fibreglass belly pan available, condition is fine albeit needing be a rub down and paint. In white, has some stone chipping on the front where the wheel runs and a tiny little piece cracked off, on the bottom and not noticeable when on the bike.
From my 1999 FZS 600
Pics now added below
Only wanting £20 plus postage (around £8 I believe using most couriers, more if by parcel force)
Thanks

With a couple of Fazers similar to mine selling for £1300 on ebay, I'm considering breaking by bike after seeing a post on the facebook page. Do you end up with 75% of your bike sat in the garage for months on end once the tasty bits have gone, or is there plenty of interest in parts now they're getting on a bit? Ta
