Went to look at an 2011 FZ1 with 21000miles on it last night with a friend who was interested in buying it. Immaculate except for a small tank dent like a knee dent and a small gouge on on the swinging arm, but nothing major. Didn't realise I knew the owner until we arrived to look at it. There was lot of traffic so the prospective owner just rode it around the car park. Owner offered me a spin on it, at first I declined as I had no gear but he gave me his jacket, helmet and gloves and said go on. Since I ride all the time traffic does not worry me much. I was surprise how quick it was, but a bit snatchy on and off the throttle in the traffic, got through the traffic to a clear bit of road, with a few bends, handled well even though it was a bit hard for my liking, but ruined by one pain in the arse bit, 'the fuel cut off system'. It was like driving a car with turbo lag. I thought this issue was sorted on the later models. If my friend does buy it, the FCE is the first thing I would tell him to fit. It ruined what was otherwise a very nice bike.
The burning question is, Would I change the FZS1000 for one? Absolutely not. The biggest turn off is the small tank compared to the FZS1000.
On the way home my friend gave me the key of his 340hp BMW twin turbo 535d auto estate with paddle shift, what a weapon, every time I powered out of a bend the traction control light kept flashing :lol tiptronic was surprisingly good very quick to change. Even on sport setting it was not great to hold the road as it rolled a lot, but a rocket in a straight line Enjoyed that :eek
He asked me if he could take my FZS1000 for a spin so he could compare the two when he takes the FZ1 for a spin on Sunday evening. Today we went out swapped bikes (he has an 97 TRX850) he came back with a big grin and his only complaint was it that it was heavy, but then compared to the TRX is weighs a ton. TRX was nice to ride with the riding position very comfortable for a bike with low bars and very very torquey. Took some time to get used to all the torque since I use the gears a lot. That was also a bit hard on the suspension but since he has 4 stone on me it was fine for him. The only issue I found was that the wheel bearing seem to be worn, but we will check them after the weekend.
Nice start to the bank holiday weekend
Hi fellow riders,
My name is João from Portugal, I'm 32 and riding only since last year.
I recently sold my first bike - a nice '94 Gray Diversion, owned for 1.5yrs with 59k km on the clock, imho the best nooby 0 XP bike.
A month ago I fell in love with Raquel, a 2001 Silver FZS 600 Fazer, pretty mint and stock except for the re-stuffed seat for added comfort, also with 59k
Since then I've only changed the original exhaust for a mivv titanium sports can and had her carbs synced.
The next mod is most sure do something about her eyes, those single low beam headlights are crap.
id like to sit a bit more upright, thinking about bar risers , up &back, anyone got them on, how much can you go up ? 1 inch up and same back or is there not enough slack in cabling etc ?
Good evening all!
Does anyone know if I can use an FZS 1000 tank cover on an FZS 600? (pre-face lift, 18lt tank)
Sadly, I can not test it before I buy it, and I was wondering if someone that owns both machines can answer this.
(Hope I post this in the right section, the forum is huge :b )
Thanks in advance guys
Enjoyed that :eek
