Hi I have just purchased my first fz1 on a 2008 took it out on its first run and seems to be very thirsty on the fuel is it just the size of the fuel tank or is there anything I should be looking into that maybe a common problem  cheers

Hi,
Firstly apologises if this is the wrong place to post this or if this has been asked before and I’ve missed it. I did have a good look in the FAQ section.
I am going to view a 2000 FZS600 in the next week or so. I am 6’5” tall and just want to ask on here if anyone has any advice or experiences of a rider of my height on this bike. It’s a far drive away and don’t want to waste my time if I am just simply too tall for it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated - including if anyone has any ideas on modifications such as raising the handle bars or lowering footpegs to make it more comfortable for the taller, more normal size people.
Cheers.

So I bought my first fzs1000 last week and love it but there seams to be a flat spot in power. I beleve this could be improved with the ivans jet kit. If got a delkevic can on there but that's it.
My big question, anyone around the Barnsley area that could help me with the jets as iv never done this before or even send the carbs to someone and if so a rough idea on cost.


Thanks for your time guys

Had a test ride on the xr yesterday 3 hour test and what a bike never fancied a Beemer but this thing is amazing 165bhp fast as fuk electronic suspension is unbelievable and up and down shifter is like butter. 15k is a lot for a bike but I think it's worth it. Made me realise how much bikes have moved on  :eek

Just had my bike back from the mechanic, and he suggested that it would be a good idea to replace the rubber caps on the carbs, the ones that block off the pipe where you push the hose pipes onto when balancing the carbs.


Thing is i can’t figure out where they are on this drawing?
Any ideas?

Monday is bad enough as it is this time of year but was made a whole lot worse when my bike was purposely pushed over whilst parked outside my office window. Long story short. A carer was walking back to his car with a client, the client pushed my bike over stating that it was in his way. I rush out ready to knock 10 bells out of them both effing and jeffing. The carer was very apologetic, the client is down syndrome.......my heart sank, I took a deep breath and asked the carer for full details. The downs fella has public liability insurance but unfortunately will not cover all damage to the bike as it will cost more to repair than what the book price of the bike is worth. It's looking like I will have to put up with a ding in the tank and exhaust. Upper fairing will be replaced as will indicator, bar end and break lever. Rear fairing is being De-stickered, buffed and new stickers added. Crash bung won't be replaced either.
She's a right mess, like I said....gutted:-(

WTF ???
beam me up scotty :eek
I cant believe all this shit about being a man or a woman or neither.. maybe I am too old for this world
