Just introducing myself people. I have just bought an FZ1 2007 57 plate in green 20k on the clock, looks great but I don't get it until Saturday. I rode back in my teens and haven't owned a bike since so it's all new to me again. "Born Again Biker" I think is the phrase.  :lol


I'll be popping in now and again for advice etc.. and to put my 2p worth in on anything interesting!

Little bit disappointed that the riders didn't get around Lorenzo on the slowing down lap,he's never been the most popular rider but still a great racer I think it would have been nice to see him get a better send off by his fellow competitors. :\

Hi, has anyone on here had any experience of using these immobiliser bypass plug in units ?
I bought my Fz1, 2007 model, and it arrived with only one black key, no red master key, hence if these things work, I will do away with the factory fitted immobiliser and just rely on the trusty chain and huge padlock as I always have done with every other bike I have had.
Any info welcome....
Cheers

Just wondered if anyone wanted to express some thoughts, ideas, views, riding experiences etc as I am thinking of changing my 02 600 for a 08 FZ6 with Abs. 

Had a pamphlet dropped through the letter box yesterday for my electricity distribution network operator. It states that they deliver power to my home, and receive around 17% of my household bill, paid to them by my provider.


The question is, if the deliverer is delivering to my home, what am I paying the provider for, who is taking the other 83%?


Cant quite get my head around how this system operates

          Is the original FZS 1000 front sprocket, (as fitted to the bike when supplied) a silent rubber damped type?  If not, is it worth fitting one?

If you're anywhere near, free and its reasonably dry, why not join in.

Just bought a Fazer 8 .
I wondered have any of you retro fitted a centre stand and Data tool gear indicator?

Going to see an 04 Fazer 1000 this week on 36k.


Now I have read on here about the cam chain tensioner issues so a few questions regarding them please. I'd rather prevention over cure. I don't do many mile's.


Is there an upgrade auto tensioner, ie: first gen R1?


When changing the tensioner does the chain need tension applied while doing the job or is it just an unbolt and bolt on job. ( Obviously setup of the tension )
