Good Morning All,

Had a search for this but wasnt able to find an answer for the 1000 so I thought I'd ask.


I recently changed the spark plugs on my fzs1000 owing to poor fuelling and bogging down at low rpm. When I removed the spark plug cap from the plug I noticed that a bodged repair had been effected with electrical tape. This was on the cylinder which was running the coolest out of the four (Mrs was not happy using her meat temperature gauge as a thermometer!)


Anyways, ordered some NGK replacements Model SD05F. Upon arrival they are considerably shorter and are not the correct diameter at the thick end.


Does anyone know the correct model spark plug cap for the thou OEM or otherwise.?


Thanks!

anything considered can blast and paint if needed thanks

Would someone have an idea of how much oil would be lost if I remove the clutch cover with the bike on the sidestand. Thanks in advance.

So as I needed some wheels bearing for the FZ1 I thought I would check if any of the spare bearings I still have for my FZS would fit, and some of them do -

• 1x bearing (ball)- 93306-20531

Hi everyone!


So I've been a member for around five years now when I purchased my 1000 from another forum member:

https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=1777...#msg205157

Since then I've put the grand total of a further 10k on her but remained a forum lurker. It hasn't been plain sailing- I found a crack in the engine casing which had been filled, sanded and sprayed over. However I did my first tour on her to Scotland and have done Wales, Ireland and France since. Even though she's not my only bike she's the one I won't ever sell.

Here she is now (attached)

Nice to meet you all!

Mark

Hi, my name is Jason and i'm from the Netherlands. I will introduce myself and my bike later but i bought myself a gen 1 fz1 from 2003 and found these wire connectors under the seat. I'm wondering if it's supposed to be like this or that perhaps something used to be connected to it. I hope anyone here can help me out.

So i was in a shop a while back and I saw the mechanic has a tank prop made out of what looked like a pneumatic car hood prop (see below) and I wonder if there was a shorted one for motorcycles..? Or Will have I have to make one out of a small gas strut & some rubber feet..?

On the hunt for more parts for my 2007 FZ1 -

• chain and sprocket kit
  
• complete rear wheel bearing set.
  

        A reasonable condition decal from the swinging arm that I can get copied. These used to be available new from Fowlers Yamaha.  Part No 5LV-21668-00.  But alas now N.L.A as many Gen 1 Fazer parts are rapidly becoming,  :\  (The Gen 2 decal is available)  If someone has a knackered swinging arm, the decal can be removed with little damage, see you tube.
