I'm selling a K and N high flow air filter for a GEN 1 Fazer FZS1000 01-05.

Part Number YA-1001. Brand new, in the box, including seal and stickers.

£40 plus postage at cost or collect from Marston Green B37.

just got myself a first gen 1000 fazer this week,   14000 m, red with full givi touring kit, its pretty standard but has had some bits done, ohlins front and back,K+N, double bubble. I had a silver gen 1000 when they first came out so know how good they are, its good to be back 8)

First off im not trying to start the "carbs vs FI" argument.

Im looking (and have been for ages) at getting a 2[sup]nd[/sup] bike. I want a dual sport or adventure bike (what ever you wish to call them) and it will probably be fuel injected (either a single or a twin…prob a single, for on and off road use)

Ive never been a fan of fuel injection. Why?...well, FI is a bunch of electrical sensors and injectors, and that means (to me anyway) when or if you have a problem you have to pay a stealer to sort it for you. (=$$$$$)

The carbs on my Fazer thou have been sound. Balance them here and there….maybe chuck some fuel additive in to clean them….once in a blue moon you can even take them out for a overhaul – easy!

I know the benifets of fuel injection but it’s the negatives that worry me. I know some people buy and sell bikes regurley but im the type of person that does as much research as poss, buy something and then keeps it for life. (like my trusty Fazer) 

So what "maintance" do you need to do to a fuel injected bikes…if any? Do the injecters need cleaning?....replacing?....checking? any one had any problems and had to have a dealer sort it out?

Im a simple person who likes simple things and bikes with fuel injection/ABS and so on just screams to me "this is gonna cost ya big somewhere down the line and if it breaks down in the middle of nowwhere you've got lesss chance of getting it fixed than a plain old simple bike".  8)

What are peoples views.....…do I need to change with the times & worry less? or earn more money so i can pay for the repairs?

Hi Folks
Just a quick hello, I needed a 2 up bike for a trip to Spain, Andorra, the Pyranees and Millau last Sept and bought a 03 13k miles FZS 1000 10 days before heading off, we covered 3000 miles in 10 days, fully loaded and 2 up and she performed brilliantly. Powerful enough to cruise at 100 mph, agile enough to do the Cols, rear tire wear was high, the front was low, due to it being off the ground most of the trip
Good old bike and the only one in our group that didn't have any problems,

  hi just joined ur community  so hello. Had some helpful advice already so thanks.

Bl**dy snow.

Not a flake at home this morning but like a different world by the time I got towards work in Leeds.

Went down on an icy stretch approaching a roundabout - witnessed several bumps whilst there.

Anyway, damage is left side and I need a front fairing (preferably black), inner lhs panel and a bar end.

Or any suggestions as to possible sources.

The FZ1 sounded a bit rough when I turned her over this morning. Blipped the throttle and she died. Left it for a minute, started her up. Let her run for a minute, and more smoke than usual came out of the exhaust. Left her for a few minutes and tried again. Same thing. Bike doesn't sound rough. Don't smell any burning. But it suggests to me she's suddenly started burning oil?!!! Bike had been running fine up until then.

I know its been covered before, this damn IPAD is no good for my aging eyes.
Anyone tell what they were as standard PLS?
