Hi all, for those of us with a Gen 1 thou, the Certificate of conformity from Yamaha needed to exempt us from paying the ULEZ charge in London has now gone up from £60 to £75! Still cheaper than a garage test though. I applied for mine yesterday. A mate of mine recently got one for his Honda and his was free.

Hi all,


I had my bike washed a few days ago, and it seems that water got through to some loose wiring (the bike has alot of after market add on and shaddy wiring). When I switched the ignition key, the engine started on its own, indicators blinked randomly, and Check Engine and ABS lights came on.


I left it to dry out in the sun, and engine start, engine check light, and indicators went away. But the ABS light remains on (i think the ABS has stopped working) and even when I take the ignition key off, the fuel pump keeps buzzing, until it drains the battery.
But otherwise the bike starts and seems to run fine.


Any ideas what causing the fuel pump to stay on? I plan to lift the tank start disconnecting things until I find the culprit, but not sure where to start.

Hi Guys
Does anyone have any useful advice on changing from my FZ1S with top half fairing to a Naked single headlight, I have seen the kits on ebay and was thinking of doing it, I could always revert back? I think, what puzzles me is my S has 2 headlamps and the N only one, so what happens to the spare bulb and holder.

Who's responsible for this...?

I'm leaving the country and taking my 2006 FZ1N with me.

It currently has a private plate that I purchased and put on it which I will put on retention before I export it.

Anyone interested in the AN06 FZN ?.

£380 which will include the fees to put in on the recipient vehicle.

Cheers

I decided to fit a chain oiler but wasn't prepared to part with the sort of money Scott and the likes wanted.
I designed by own and the cost was less than £20.
It comprises of a small brake fluid reservoir (mounted inside the fairing), a fuel tap and a primer bulb fitted to a piece of angular aluminium. This was then mounted on the horn bolt. The pipes were fitted using plastic sourced from a busted old top box I cut up for the project.
I'm using 15w40 engine oil at the moment and a couple of pushes of the primer bulb is more than adequate to lubricate the chain.
I might tidy up some of the fittings when I find the time.

The most notable thing is the 3rd party shock with dial adjustable preload.

  I imagine quite a few of us remember winter (and summer) rides before the days of breathable waterproof linings.

just got myself a 2001 FZS1000
looking at getting the suspension updated
front forks to be stripped and serviced, new spring and re-valved ect,
rear shock has a few options
BMW s1000rr shock or new YSS shock with spring to match my weight but not sure what these units are like
what option would you choose?


if front forks come back cheaper to do than i ve put away i'll go for new nitron shock
