Hi all,dont you know whether the early R1 4xv rear wheel fits to gen1 FZS1000? I just like the look of the wider rear wheel.
Yeah, I tried 190 tyre in the original FZS rear wheel already, but the tyre was too bended in the tighter FZS rear wheel. Ok it was Pireli Supercorsa, which are pretty wide anyway.TIA

Hello guys.
I always thought that my helmet was really noise, but I just found out that its the original screen (FZS600 1998-99) that sends the turbulent airflow directly to my helmet visor. I confirm this by riding at about 60 miles per hour standing (so no turbulent airflow from screen), and there was absolute silence... So I have to either fit a smaller screen (which I think there is none) or a longer touring screen. but before paying too much for a screen that might not do the trick, I though of buying an universal spoiler screen extension https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Un...SwMl1fCHX2
Does anybody have an opinion on this part? How is the quality? To assemble it you have to pierce the original screen or you just fit it like a clip on? Do you have the same noisy issue, and how did you fix it?
Thanks

I reckon its a real good looking bike. I never understood the logic behind the major players making their supersport bikes so unsuitable for everday road use, and it looks like Aprilia are dropping into the hole left by the big boys with htis one. I hope it sells well, out of my price bracket though.

I have an issue with my oil level light on my 1999 5DM:
When I switch on the ignition, the handbook says that it should be on, going off when started up – a self test.
The only light I see when I switch it on is the neutral light.
I have checked the bulb and its ok (swapped it with the known working neutral light)
My concern is it wont come on when it needs to (low oil level)
Has anyone else come across this / fixed it?

Just finished replacing front brake pads and discs, and rear pads on the Peugeot 206. Total cost £91.


Got me thinking, how come similar parts for bikes are so damn expensive?


Example: FZ6 S2 2009: front brake pads, £25 per caliper, £50 total
Front brake discs: £153 each, £306 total


206: front pads, £17 for a full set
front discs £25 each, £50 total


and the 206 parts are more substantial in mass

So this popped on autotrader -

For the mileage/price I thought it must be mint, but no just another trader taking the piss -

• The rear grab handles are missing.
  
• The wheels are dirty and have dings, marks and scratches.
  
• All front & rear left foot pegs, swing arm, link pipe (which is rusty) and fairing infill's have all been stained by some cleaner.
  
• The handlebars are damaged, bars ends aren't stock and the brake lever has a worn end.
  
• The headlight bulbs have tinted bulbs that will fail an mot.
  
• The rear wheel looks like it has a rub mark from the rear brake house? or is that a reflection.
  
• The wind screen has a big scratches right across it.
  
• The drive chain looks like its rusty? and the rear axel nut has damage/corrosion.
  
• It has clearly its been dropped on the right hand side, the dent in the tank, the front fairing has been repainted (decals are missing). That also means the sub-frame, the right hand infill, the headlight mount points may have been tweaked/broken. And worse the bike could be a Cat-D.
  

Hi
I'm just putting in an endless cam chain and noticed that my Fazer has only one oil jet in the crankcase. In the haynes manual it seems to suggest that there are two. I dislodged another jet which is a closed nozzle with a spring and ball bearing which seems to fit on the right side of the crankcase parallel with the other oil jet. Both openings for these jets are slightly different.
Can anyone help please. Before i put the puzzle back together. I'd be very obliged.
Thanks

Im confused, after searching google etc I’m not sure if my fz1 2014 as this problem, if it does/did how can I check??

Here's mine..http://foc-u.co.uk/MGalleryItem.php?id=3456

Hi - just got a Fazer and want to get into maintaining it myself. Log shot, I know, but I'm hoping to find a cheap engine for me to play around with - dismantle, re-assemble etc. Obviously don't want to mess with the one on the bike until I know what's inside!! Could be scrap as I'm not planning to restore it.  Any offers considered. Thanks
