I know about the Simoniz engine aluminium enamel spray paint, but is there any good match brush paint?  With the headers off I have  removed all the grease with good old gunk and cleaned the front of my engine and it's not too bad as the bike only has 11,000 miles on it.  I don't want to remove the engine for obvious reasons. Been told you can use a sponge type brush too good effect by dabbing it on the slightly rough cast finish at the front.  Any ideas.

Just giving the bike a clean while it was ticking over and heard arcing so checked the leads/plugs and noticed arcing between the bottom of the caps to the head but the rubbers are a good tight fit over the plugs. All 4 are the same, any info be good as got mot soon. Cheers

Hi Peeps.


Anyone know where to buy Yamalube combustion chamber cleaner from in the UK.


Seems it like rocking horse shit.
Only seems available in the USA, but there's issues sending pressurised canisters via airmail & the dreaded shipping costs & don't lets forget the feckin rip off import duty when it lands in blighty, oh what joy it is to live in the UK.

So I took the FZ1 out for a spin today and upon arriving at home I realised that the previous owner had done the old "for the disc lock on the front wheel" and snapped of bits of the front mudguard on both sides. Its purely cosmetic with no damage structurely, but if I can replace it, I would like too.

So does anyone one have a front muguard in Black or DRMK (deep-red-metallic-k), it can be off a FZ1-N or FZ1, ABS or non-ABS as the part numbers are for this purpose identical.

I found one on FB.

Hi guys, I’m recently just after taking out the clutch on my 2003 600 to inspect it and decided to purchase a newfren clutch plate and friction plate set, now iv heard people say use oem springs there much better but would they be suited to the newfren plates?
