Hi all, I'm newbie to the group as I've just brought a 2011 FZ 8 N. Unfortunately on day 3 it has thrown up a error 43 code on the dash. I'm aware this a low voltage to fuel pump or injectors. 

Has anyone else experienced this and can point me to the solution please.

Hi

Just spent an hour wrestling to fit a new recon centre stand that I have bought to replace an old bent rusty one. 

Really struggled to get the holes on the stand lined up with the bracket on the bike. No matter what way I shoogled the bracket there was no clear line of sight. Is there a knack to doing this? Like maybe fitting the spring last? 

Also, realised that I will have to cut a bit off the centre stand to provide clearance with the aftermarket can.

Cheers for any tips.

Hi all, I live in the Isle of Man with my wife.  I have recently bought an FZS 1000, 2001 which is the first water cooled bike I've owned on the road, I have an FJ 1200 that has become too heavy for me which is why I've bought the FZS.  I retired early but don't seem to have more time to ride for some reason, how I had time to go to work I don't know.

Has anyone tried these on thier FZ1 -

- 4pack - https://www.amazon.co.uk/FIREMOTOO-Compa...merReviews

- 4pack - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Igni...70&sr=8-18

- 1 pc - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akozon-Motorcyc...66&sr=8-44 - for an R6 and the cap is a different shape, but rest of the stick looks like the same type/shape as the FZ1-

The price seems like these wont last more than a year or so...?

Hello! 

Been reading various posts for the last year and thought about time I should register as this site is my main go-to for all things for my bike.
Passed my DAS last year and absolutely in love with my FZS600 (2003). I live in Moray and planning to get into trials, even tho I am mid 50's.... ain't as flexible as I used to be... but I'm a determined and stubborn foccer!  

I always try to support the local traders as much as I can, even if its a few shillings more, you can typically walk out of the shop with the goods in your hand rather than wait 3 days for it to be delivered either when your'e not in, or to another completely random address. Some years ago now, I converted the clutch on the fazer to hydraulic to save my old arthritic hands from avoidable punishment. After much searching, the cheapest UK supplier for the newly purchased Striple was almost £500 (I paid approx £250 for the fazer conversion). I spread the search to Europe and picked up the same kit today for £280, vat paid and free delivery. Ive been looking for new helmets too, and the same scenario appears, massive mark ups for UK purchased ones. I have a feeling we are being rinsed here.

Hi, I noticed there were no breather hoses on my tank, so bought one off ebay which has a plate attached. Been looking in my manual and online, but can't find anywhere about where it attaches to and which of the 2 pipes it fits on.
Thanks in advance

So As Im looking at all the options when it comes to the forks on my FZ1, Gnasher reminded me that I could pontenially fit R1 forks on there.

So my question is, has any one done this? if so what model/year of R1 did they come off of? and were you able to use all the FZ1 running gear..? (mudguard, wheel, calipers, spacers, spindle etc.

I see 4th dimension are still upto thier useal tricks, I wonder how badly this owner got fleaced by them, as I cant see whats wrong with the bike -

So ive been having a look around online at fork refurb services, rechroming services, and before going to that route I thought I was ask on here if anyone has a set of forks in good contion that they want to sell.

Basically mine need new springs, new stanchions and news seals/bushes and all the refurbishing services I can find are getting of for being expensive. Even replacing just the parts myself isnt cheap. So hence looking for a good used set instead.
