OK so I have been toying with the idea of getting shiny down pipes. I was just wondering if they are worth it?

Discuss! :lol 

Does anyone out there use Osram Nightbreaker plus bulbs in their FZ1/FZS?

Just asking to see if they're worth buying as I do quite a bit of night riding. These standard headlights are a bit weak :rolleyes

Hi all.

I have agen 1 bike with 137k on the club.
About 12k ago I put atop of the range tsunami chain and sprockets on the bike and have had to continually adjust the chain since day 1 of fitting.


My main Yamaha dealer mentioned to me that if you retain the Cush drive rubbers much past c30k chain wear be accelerated.


As I still have the original Cush drive rubbers on the bike I am putting two and two together and am wondering if this could be the reason for the continual chain adjustments?


Any comments would be appreciated.


Happy Xmas one and all

:b :b :b

Had my tyres replaced on Friday.  As I watched the mechanic remove the rear wheel, a lot of water ran out of one side of the swing arm.  Difficult to tell how much, but from the size of the puddle and the time it took to stop draining, I'd say about a cup full.


Anyone seen this before?


This can only be rainwater, but should I be concerned about it?  Should I be trying to locate the inlet and plugging it, or maybe drilling a drain hole?

Looking at buying an FZS, and was wondering if there was anything I should be looking for? As far as I can see throughout the model life span there wasn't a massive amount of difference, just the later ones had black painted engines and swingarms, and some didn't have a headlight switch? Anything else I've missed there?
Not really sure what I'm looking for price wise really either as there's a fair bit of variation. My preference would be for a black engined one as I feel they look a lot tidier, and I really like the black/red fading paintwork on the 05 (?) models - would also match my leathers then  :lol
There's a few though that are higher milage and pretty cheap, what are the engines like on these things for long life? There's a couple with about 30k miles, later black engined models that look pretty tidy for about £2300 ish, how's that sound? It's either that or go for a black/red one without 20k miles for £3000 ONO.

I'll be getting a test ride before I buy anything (or possibly because of my age my dad may have to) - is there anything FZS specifically related I should look for/test for before buying? I'm quite mechanically inclined so not too worried about having to do a little bit of work to a bike I should buy, if it were cost effective for me to do it.

Ta fellas,

Joe

Hi guys,

My names Joe, and I'm a 20 year old student studing Management & Finance at the university of Leicester. Been riding for 4 years now, and until about 3 weeks ago I was the very proud owner of a lovely red and black Kawasaki ZX9R E1 model. However some buggers nicked it, and so I'm now looking at getting another bike. Much as I loved the ninja it did miss some practical aspects, so I thought I'd have a nose at a FZS1000 (my uncles got one and loves it, and my dad owns the FZ1 and seems to like that as well).
Imagine you'll be getting a bunch of questions from me fairly soon about what I should be looking for/paying for one, so will speak to y'all more then 

Joe

Hi Guys,

My gen 2 2002 fazer 600 has started playing up yesterday.

It was a very wet day yesterday and while out on my bike it started misfiring and only running what I think is either 2 or 3 cylinders.
it was running rough at tickover and when trying to accelerate it wound not pull and was misfiring badly, I thought it might be dampness so I made it home and put it in garage,
I started it this morning and it seems to run on four cyclinders on tickover but when I go out on it, it seems to be misfiring so I have put it back in garage , any ideas would help, thanks

Morning all and merry xmas,im wanting to fit some hot grips(daytona) to my fazer8 does anyone have a wiring diagram as im wanting to wire them into the loom not just to the battery,any hints and tips would be good thanks.
