I've decided to sell my Fazer 1000 2005. 16000 miles. Ivanised, R1 front end, r6 shock Carbon parts Mivvi exhaust 

Mary Christmas ? to everyone.!

Im thinking of purchasing front springs for my fzs 600 '03.
In my country where I live the price difference between the two is 40 euros the hyperpro more expensive,
not big deal tho.
Which one of these two is your suggestion and the reason why please so I can have a deeper knowledge of the difference between them.
My driving style is mostly solo in the city and a second person for 300~ km small trips.

My son was over and wanted to tinker with the Fazer so took the chance while carbs are off to do a few other tasks, change fuel filter PITA! Air filter no issue and spark plugs.

They came out OK a couple were tight one was only finger tight.

Son went to fit plugs i asked did he gap them? he said nah they are pre gapped and and look the same as what came out.

Explained that is not always the case, as the gap was tiny (0.2mm) compared to manual (0.7 - 0.8mm) so reset the gaps.

Fitted no problems asked him to bring the old plugs to we have a look, he was right they were gapped at 0.2mm and black like it had been running rich.

Anyone else come across this before previous owner had it serviced each year so he claimed, the air filter was actually reasonably clean tbf.


beginning to wonder how this old girl ran at all now carbs bunged up, plug gaps wrong. leaking exhaust and dirty fuel, they are certainly tolerant !

Question:
I’m trying to install a 2006 Yamaha FZ1N digital speedometer on my 2001 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer. Both models use the same 16-pin (2x8) connector, but the pin configurations and the wire colors seem to differ.

I have scoured the web trying to find something to help me and have spent many hours trying to figure out the wiring diagrams in the service manuals . However, as I’m new to this stuff, it turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought. The only diagram I’ve found for the pin layout is for the FZS1000, which I’ve attached below. As much as I understand from the wiring diagrams in the service manual, I believe this pin layout seems to be correct.

 Let me know if this link works?? I have never posted a post on a forum before.

I can’t seem to figure out the FZ1 2006 pin layout, though. I was really hoping it would be plug-and-play, but here we are!
Could someone provide a detailed pinout for the FZ1N speedometer, including wire colors and functions? If anyone has experience with this swap, how do I rewire the FZS1000 harness to work with the FZ1N speedometer? Are there any signal compatibility issues I should look out for (e.g., tachometer or speed sensor)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Talking screens here. 

I've got the power bronze tall screen and it's not too bad. Got one with the adjustable flippy thing on, but it's really bassy for me.
Anyone tried one of these?

Hi All,

My bike isn't firing on all cylinders.
At first cyl 1 didnt fire from cold sometimes. I swapped the spark plug cap with cyl 4 to try isolate the problem. Left it for a couple of days. Then when I started the bike cyl 3 was not firing.

I've now checked ignition coil resistance, spark plug cap & lead resistance and they were all normal. When I plugged everything back together, cyl 2 & 3 were not firing. I then swapped the plug caps around some more but still cyl 2 & 3 not firing.

However, if I pull the plug caps off the spark plugs a bit so that they are loose, the cylinders fire!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
CountFazer
