[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Hi All,[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size]I have just changed my rear brake pads on my FZ1 and bled the system afterwards. The issue I now have is there is no feel at all in the pedal. When bleeding there was no bubbles in the line at all but after spending a hour on it, it is no better. I have noticed when operating the pedal the caliper moves/rocks from the piston side, is this normal ? as I've only just noticed it after trying to troubleshoot my issue. Both caliper mounting bolts are in and torqued up correctly and I have fitted the shims off the old pads but also tried the pads without them either way doesn't make a difference. Any advice would be a great help.[/color]

What do people use to clean them up?  I'm after something that hopefully doesn't include hours of arm ache as my fibromyalgia won't allow for that   Any magic potions out there?

Genuine Yamaha touring screen for Fazer 1000 Gen 2.
As new
£35.
Prefer collection as obviously fragile.

Yesterday was my third ride out on the Fazer since I bought it. The other two it pissed it down  non stop and my mint bike got covered in shit and salt.


But yesterday set off with wet damp conditions but the sun came out and dry roads what a difference. managed a decent ride out about 140 miles. We are not far off our glorious British summer (hopefully  ). There are times during the winter when I think I wish I was in a warmer climate country. But when the sun comes out here I.M.H.O there is no where else I would rather be than riding around our roads.


There is a fantastic friendly motorcycle fraternity throughout Britain. Your never far off a café or brew shop and someone for a natter. Roll on better weather and I hope all you guys managed a ride out.

Hi Guys,


I ordered a new coolant drain screw for my FZS1000 90163-06002 this seemed to supersede 90153-06029, it just does not look right though, looks far to big. But thats what fowlers says.

The radiator drain cap looks a bit perished at the rubber, do you think this will be ok?

Looking for a new slip on for my fzs, want something thats short and comes out low.
I have looked at some types, but can't decide what to choose.


Anyone with similar exhaust? Or other tips on exhaust? Dont want some big and bulky can.


Something like this is what i had in mind.

Hi,


I have been having issues with the bike just not feeling like its got the power it should have....


It also seemed hard to start, always needs full choke and even after warming a little is easy to stall, unless its been ridden for a while and its red hot...


I have checked a few things, Carb Sync, all but one are spot on, cylinder 3 shows a little less reading than the rest, 20 less, so is an issue there.


I also took the chance to measure the cylinder compression and get from 1-4 readings of 110, 100, 115, 102, so varied and well off what the service manual states.


Will be trying to pop some oil in the cylinders tommorow or Monday see what a re-test shows.


Engine has done 47K, and i had to replace the Water Pump and rear wheel bearing when i got it, not well looked after...


I also changed all exhaust studs and replaced the cylinder head gasked whilst in there, replaced spark plugs also.


Anyone any comments, do these readings seem well out or reasonable for a bike of this mileage/age
