Hi all,


I dropped my FZ1S in my garage today (it was a really stupid thing that I'd rather not think about but I learned a lesson from it) but the upshot is it cost me my windscreen. Now, I know I can get one from some of the Yamaha parts sites but I think £175 is a bit steep for a piece of plastic (still, if that what it comes to I guess I'll have to bite the bullet). However I was wondering if anyone knows where I might source one a wee bit cheaper. It doesn't have to be new but I'd like it to be in reasonable nick and what I'd really like is that it has the Fazer logo across the bottom front, the way the original does (see attached photo). Any help will be massively appreciated.


Regards, Gerry

Hi All

Hello,
I have got for sale this set of 320mm front brake discs to fit FZS1000 01-05 and R1 98-02 (probably early R6 as well) front wheel.
The set includes caliper adapters which enable calipers to fit with 320mm discs.The adapters are brand new bought this year and are made by Italian company named ALTH.The Brembo front brake discs are in good condition, rivets however are bit loosen and I would recommend to change them.Thickness of the discs are about 4,6mm both.

I wanted to use them on my bike however decided to keep my standard discs which I bought last year, so they are brand new.
I am located in Slovakia in EU. The price is 200€ plus shipping.

So I did a total of 300 miles over 2 days and it reminded me the seat on the FZ1 needs to be improved. So does anyone have a modded/custom/comfort seat for sale..?

Purchased for MOT repair on my bike but not needed. These are order only from Yamaha dealers and there are none in stock. This one has taken nearly 2 weeks from Yamaha Holland.

Just bought my Fazer 1000 love it but the exup valve us seized solid still seams to go OK should I fix it or remove it will it make a massive difference as its shagged anyway?

Hi Fellow Foc-ers! (Is that alright to say?!)

So I have been using your info for the past few week helping me rebuild a 2001 FZS600 that had been off the road for 5 years.

It’s been a fantastic learning curve so far, but now I’m struggling…

It doesn’t like being in a low rpm and pulling away.

1st gear pulls away okay and the engine seems happy,
2nd gear, below 3,500rpm it judders quite viciously,
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, it bogs down below 5000rpm.

It would likely judder in the higher gears at a lower rpm, but I wouldn’t be in them at any low speed.

It doesn’t Idle without the idle adjust screw/butterflies opened a bit, but even then at 1250rpm it surges every couple of seconds.
Pilot adjust screws are set at 2 turns, though have tried at 1.5 turns and 2.5 turns which don’t make too much difference to idle speed.

Above 5000rpm the engine really sings now, and pulls constantly well especially after the work I’ve done below (previously it even bogged down at 7-8000 rpm), but none of the jobs have rectified the low speed rpm judder.

The clutch does seem to make a chatter on idle.

It does smell like a rich mix on idle, I.e too much fuel?

Soooo,

Following reason other people’s advise on here,

I have stripped the carbs,
cleaned/rebuilt/balanced/jets cleared/all pipes flushed. (Balanced visually when carbs removed and with a 4way vacuum gauge)
New orings fitted on main jet and float needle and float needle valve (remembered the 4 little screws hold the valves)
Fitted new air filter (though not k&n)
Fitted new iridium spark plugs even though originals were brown and gapped well.
Replaced cracked carb/engine rubbers
Emptied as flushed fuel tank.
Checked caps for sparking and they do all spark well or at least sound like they do, and don’t arc in the dark.

I have a new fuel pump (not yet fitted) as I thought it was fuel supply when it bogged down under high rpm.

What have I missed? Fuel/air mix? Float level? Clutch issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the bike is fab, just not round town and don’t wanna have people look down on the Fazer as I rev the nuts off it and feather the clutch at 25mph through town trying to stop the judder!

Many thanks!!
