OK so I've had a few days with my FZ1 S and so far there are mostly things I like and some that I'm not so keen on, these have raised a couple of questions so I'd appreciate any tips.

Observations:

1. It's a bit heavier than my 600 and I nearly dropped it today after stalling on a right turn hill start (carbon can ordered, so that might help)
2. Clutch is grabby when the choke is on
3. Horn is usual Yamaha pants beeper
4. Side stand is very awkward to deploy when sitting on bike
5. Not much room under the pillion seat, can't get my disc lock and the tool bag in there.

Questions:

1. Is there a mod for the side stand to make the stubby sole catcher longer?
2. Is there a common mod for the horn?
3. My mirrors seem to be loose, should they wobble at the stem where it connects to the fairing?
4. I never used the standard pressure on my 600 - is there a recommended pressure other than the standard tyre pressure for the FZ1?
5. I changed the headlight bulbs on my 600 for Phillips Blue Vision, are there any recommendations for after market headlamps?

Had a bit of a garage clearout and have the following for sale:

1 x OE end can in excellent condition
4 x NGK plugs (CR9E) new
1 x oil filter new

I also have a Haynes manual covering  the FZS & YZF '96 to '03 in excellent condition.

Not sure how best to price them up...... I was thinking £70 for the lot, or make me an offer for individual items.

Wouldn't catch me near it.

Hi all, got a hugger for sale, doesn't fit my 1998 600, after looking online it seems to be for an 02/03 600/1000 as the attaching points on the swing arm are closer together if that makes sense?

It's on fleabay just now if anyone fancies making an offer. Its in fantastic condition with just very very light scratches which can hardly be seen.

It's a Pyramid one and is painted gloss black.

As a side line to the t-shirt printing business we have, we run after school clubs in our local area where the children get to design their own t-shirt and then print it using Magic Touch papers.

One school likes to promote their extra curricular activities and got the local paper in who ran a couple of short articles.

These articles then got picked up by the BBC and we've been invited to appear on a t-shirt printing segment on Blue Peter this Thursday!!

It's taken me some time but have just gotten round to fitting some bits n bobs to mey Fazer 8.
Powerbronze fender extender fitted - good job
SP Engineering tail tidy & indicators fitted - good job
Powerbronze Belly pan nearly fitted - looks as if the rectifier prevents the bracket supplied with the bellypan being fitted. I've gone back to Powerbronze with the problem and they are looking into it. In the mean time I've looked at some images of the Fazer 8 (naked & faired) and some show a rectifier behind right front peg and some don't. Does anyone know what's the story here regards a rectifier being there or not?
Thx
Paul
