Having bought a mint 2006 FZ1S I got it out on the road today for a whizz round. Did 147 miles before the low fuel warning, and as that wasn't riding like a saint, I guess it's ok.
One weird thing, and I have no idea if this is normal for these bikes.
Stuck at temporary traffic lights for around 5 minutes, and noticed the temperature gauge rise from the running temperature of around 70-80 degrees, to almost 90 degrees. It dropped again once I was moving.
Rode home, but on an empty stretch of motorway wound it up to see how it pulled for about a mile? Happy with that, and then cruised the last 3 miles home at 30-40mph.
Pulled up, hit the kill switch, looked down, and the fan is blowing like a good un, and the temperature is reading 110 degrees. It slowly dropped, but took about 3 minutes for the fan to cut out.
Not having had this happen on any previous bikes, I am a tad concerned that I may have a blocked rad, or duff temperature sensor. The bike has done 9000 miles.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers
Rob

I went for a MRI scan recently (for my knackered neck) As its a noisy procedure for the scan i was given some ordinary looking ear plugs. Hard to objective at the time but they seemed much better than the shaped plugs I use for the bike. I mentioned to the nurse that the ear plugs seemed very effective and she gave me a couple of pairs to try, I used them whilst riding home from the scan on the fazer. the difference over my previus conical plugs was quite dramatic , reducing my noisy exhaust can to a pleasant burble. Tried again today on a local A road and wind roar is much reduced. If I had heard some much difference in helmets I would have been very impressed! For the outlay of a few quid . the best improvement in ride confort, probably ever !
Just ordered a bag of 50 from Amazon £7 delivered .(Ear Classic soft)
Result of the scan was that my facet joints are badly worn. I was already aware of this from a previous flareup
Not good for sports bike riding !

Well after almost 7 years of ownership I have decided it's time for a change, so my immaculate '02 thou is up for sale.
It's metallic red, just under 10,000 dry miles and is in showroom condition.
Let's get the bad bits out of the way....it's ready for a new back tyre and there are a couple of tiny chips on the top of the tank where the previous owner dropped the keys on it.
The good bits -
Spotlessly clean, under 10,000 miles, 2 keys , all MOT's to verify mileage, original bill of sale, dealer PDI certificate etc.
It currently has the following mods/extras on it;
Datatool Alarm with 2 fobs, Ivan's Slip-on carb kit (installed by Mike), new battery in August, recent new plugs, last oil & filter change about 1500 miles ago. Now the expensive bits....Ohlins rear shock with remote preload adjuster and K-TECH fork conversion.

I have removed most of the extras and have advertised them in another post.
New Price.....£2695..........I saw an average/tatty condition, higher mileage 02 600 Fazer for this price in a bike shop today.
Taxed til end of Jan 2013, MOT'd til August 2013. Bike can be viewed between Nottingham / Derby area
Email me on aratcliffeATntlworld.com if you would like photos and more info, or ring me on 07931 924215
Just to add, the Ohlins shock has done 3000 miles (cost £534) and the fork conversion was done approx. 2500 miles ago (cost £367)
Thanks
Andy

Hi all just a quick question.

and i reset the clock to the right time.
for the first time.
but by the time i drove home and had a cup of tea and moved the bike
into the garage the clocks reset themselves back to 1:00am.
is something really busted or do i need to reset something or look for something
bike is a Gen 1 fazer 1000 04 plate.
