Anyone tried balancing their wheels at home? Was it a success or a waste of time?
I don't have a static balancing machine but videos on YouTube suggest it can be done without one so I am interested to try it....unless the experience on here suggests otherwise.

HELP...............Stator rotor grrrrrrrrrrrr
Hi everyone i own a 2007 fz1 that has just chosen to lose the magnets from the rotor phoned yamaha dealer mega expensive.
Does anyone have 1 for sale or know were i could get one part number   
2SH-81450-00-00. This is the refined part .

A mate of mine is selling his custom Fireblade, the bike needs recommissioning after 18 months of not being used, info as follows

• 1999 carb model fireblade
  
• 4 into 1 into 2 exhaust
  
• radiator under seat
  
• R1 front end, upside down forks, 17" wheel
  
• KTM projector headlight handlebar fairing
  
• single seat
  
• Front discs/pads, both tyres less than 2000 miles
  
• Various one off's on bike
  

• quieter, more modern cooling fans on radiator
  
• cosmetics tidying up
  
• will need servicing & POSSIBLY carbs cleaned
  

I went to a shop this morning to talk to someone there about another problem I'm having and one of the guys mentioned that when I turned the ignition on the temp display said High but the fan didn't start working. So my question is, since I can't seem to find this info in the service/owner's manual, when does the fan exactly kick in?

Dunno what happened beforehand.......but the biker was being a dick and paid the price, in my opinion.

Just got to say what a brilliant little bike the FS6 is, I've had mainly bigger cc bikes inc a gen 1 fazer thou but I've just got a FZ6S2 and its so easy to ride, nice and comfy too ! wished I'd have got one years ago :lol

I am looking to buy an FZ1 Fazer, 08 onwards, to replace my well served ZX9R which I had for 12 yrs.
[font=]I have read reviews and it appears there was a fuelling issue which may have improved on 2010 models. Is this the case? Would a pre 2010 model with a Power commander or ECU remap be better or is the 2010 version onwards  OK? [/font]
[font=]I have contacted Yamaha UK who were not very helpful and would not pass on information of the engine serial number onwards which would have had an official remap. I don’t want to get a late registered model which does not have the official remap.[/font]
[font=]Any help would be appreciated.[/font]
[font=]With thanks,[/font]

The speed is slowing down again.
Why does this happen I am a few forums bikes and others but this has to be the slowest of the lot,
Below is a post from the MT09/FZ09 forum which I have just been on. It is as fast as fu-k any chance we can change.
Oh must admit the MT09/FZ09 forum has not got the craic or banter that we have here. I am not moaning as I enjoy being on here , just asking the question.

Hi Everyone. I just moved the site to a new faster server with SSD drives. Let me know if you notice a difference in the site speed or if you notice any bugs

I've been having a bit of a problem with my wrist and was wondering if any of you guys use a quick action throttle on their Thou' and does it make for an easier ride?


Thanks,. Mickey

Hello there,

I've just come back from a long run up to the lakes on my 2009 Gen 2 FZ1S and gosh, my bottom is sore! All those poorly surfaced B and unclassified roads. I need a better padded, more comfortable seat. I hear mention of a factory Yamaha 'Comfort seat', but cannot find any for sale anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one, or are there other options?

Thanks in anticipation, he said, somewhat stiffly.
