It's time to start getting my 2004 Gen1 sorted for the summer again.

Sorry if this has been done to death already!

Had the bike from new, and have always fitted OE pads.

But the last time I fitted a new set it was about 70 quid, and I doubt it's got any better.

So what's the best third party option?  What feels nearest to the excellent OE pads (anybody know who the OE maker is?) without eating my OE discs which still have plenty of life left in em.

Hi need front indicator as above. imports have slightly larger indicators  :'( or 2 standards front to change 
Cheers

Hi, I am after a replacement Square Eye Head light unit has the deflector mine has completely broken.


having a look on ebay as well.

Hi everyone,

I had my local garage wire the heated grips into the ignition today, and this evening I fitted a HID kit I got off ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380294129095?s...1497.l2649).

When testing the new HID, I noticed that the sidelight was on as well as both headlights (bike has headlight mod). First time I've noticed it, seems wrong to me.... any ideas what could be causing this? I can't see it doing too much harm - is it worth sorting out?

Finally, is it advisable to disable the headlight mod if you have HID fitted?

Thanks,

Fuzzy

Having removed the AIS (and failed miserably to tap the theads for the take-offs on the exhausts) I'm trying to remove the cylinder head valve cover.  Anyone have any tips on how to get the two large rubber coolant pipes off that pass through the cover into the head?  There doesn't seem to be enough room to pull them off the spigots.
Many skinned knuckes!

Putting the bike (Gen 2 FZ1 Fazer) away the other day I noticed what to my eyes looked like a silver 'direction arrow' on the outside edge of the front offside brake disc.
(I didn't have my specs on though and it was gloomy in the garage so I may have been mistaken).
Can anyone confirm if the front discs have a rotation direction bias?
If it's what I suspect then the discs may have been removed when I got new tyres and subsequently refitted to the wrong side of the wheel by the dealer!
That's if the discs have to be removed to fit on the tyre fitting machine of course.
As I was in a hurry at the time I haven't had time to recheck this as yet.
Any ideas?

Bought a battery and optimate - delivered to work as the bike with flat battery is there.  Bunged it on charge last night under my desk (bit cheeky but hey-ho).  Come in today and it's had a sticker applied to it - they've only been around the office overnight testing all the electrical stuff to make sure that it is 'safe'.  Good for optimate - but you have to question the test as there is a 12V battery with terminals you could put your hand across! 

hi need help got a replacement ind on ebay for my 2005 fzs 1000 and it is smaller than the standard ones can anyone advise me if they know if diff indicators on 05 as opposed to earlier models ?
