Hello. I have my FZ1 2004 from one month. I have tyres Dunlop Qualifier. I am not quite happy with them.[/size]Before i was ridding YZF600R for 6 years. I have on her Metzeller Sportec m1 - one set, M3 - one set, M5 two sets. I love them all and M5 are my favorites on YZF600r.Now i want to have the same confidence on my new FZ1. I ride quite agressive so i need grip. Also tyres must be good on rain and on dusty roads.Please tell me how good are Metzeler Z8, Metzeler M5 and Michelin PR3 on ZF1?For an agressive rider?Sorry for my bad english.

Replaced my rotten pipes with a set of motad Venoms and genuine Yamaha gaskets but cylinder 4 is popping at the head :'( . Don't want to tighten them any more as I will snap a stud so it looks like all the pipes off and another set of gaskets but can I use a bit off assembly paste?
Spent ages soaking the nuts with Plus Gas so they came off fine then ran a tap through the nuts before I put them back on with plenty of copper grease. Feeling very pleased but the sod started leaking.

Is it possible to easily repair the ignition switch on a 2001 gen 1? Mine is knackered, works when it feels like and if you just touch the key the engine cuts out.

So ive decided to go for the sp engineering XLS big bore on the groungs that if its good enough for kosmo its probably to good for me. Then i read that a shorter exhaust gives more top end power but less bottom end and visa versa for a longer can. Im not really looking for more top end power just a better sounding and looking exhaust. My problem is i dont want to loose any lower end power so the burning question is do i go for the 300mm (prettier) end can or the not to shabby 380mm one? Oh and the longer one is a tenner dearer.

Hi,
I'm looking to sharpen up the bike without going overboard! I have done some minor changes already:
1. Delkevic end can (mainly for sound purposes)
2. Wheel rim tape
3. Higher darkened screen
4. Anodised screen bolts
I have also just picked up some stainless downpipes for £40 from a t reg fazer, I'm hoping they fit my foxeye!
What are people's thoughts on:
1. Stainless radiator cover
2. Smaller indicators
3. Further decals
Any other suggestions to improve the bikes appearance?
