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

morning Gents 
Albert from Spain with my new toy Yamaha fzs1000 2003 (full restoration is done)
hope i can help you and you can help me.
thanks 

Was in September actually but I have no idea what this is - was. Never seen a splat like it or that colour

     

Tyre change time, and tried to take the front wheel out.
Spindle requires a 14mm hex, didn't have one in my extensive tool kit (former mechanic).
No problem, I'll just use what Yamaha provide.
Now, I bought this bike secondhand, but unless someone has taken out the tool for the front wheel spindle, then I presume that Yamaha don't supply a toolkit that you can take the front wheel off.
My flabber has never been so ghasted.

Popped down to a local dealer first thing Monday morning last to look at a part I'm almost click and collected purchased the previous evening. Pleased I didn't as when I got there, a sign was on the door " No longer trading". So, off I went to another of that companies showrooms less than a mile away to find the staff all hanging around the back door, coffee and cigarettes on the go. One of them blocked my entry and told access was denied. I asked how long for to be told Id be informed. So I returned back to base and kept my money. Good thing too, as I later read they'd gone into administration. This is not the only one I've read of in the last few weeks. I suspect sales have stagnated further. Are the manufacturers making bikes that people want, or are they getting too over sophisticated, like the modern day motor cars?
