picked my fzs1000 up weekend and now having to move across the forum from fzs600 to thou. 2 issues i've discovered, the left hand lower fork adjusting screw is proper mullard and seized, so has anyone tried drilling these out and what lies behind, as in will the fork oil pour out, currently soaking it every day with oil but hold out no hope. Other issue is handling not to my liking, have played with rear shock and bottom adjuster was 43 clicks out?? , so have it currently set on 10 out which improved things but still not right for me, so on checking it has rear tyre of 190, looking at specs its meant to be 180, also they are metzeler sportac. so, any ideas why someone would change to 190, as that may account for it seemingly dropping into corners. also are these tyres any good as i've never really been a fan of metzelers, will be used all year round , so whats more important to me is a good rain tyre

TPS sensor woes….

So, my taco was giving me the 0-3000 rpm TPS sensor issue reading. I purchased a jarg one from Korea, it didn’t seem to work. I then bit the bullet and have purchased an official brand new one from yambits (£100 quid).

I have followed the instruction to put the bike into the mode for TPS calibration/adjustment but am still only getting the 0-3000 reading as if it’s not connected or it’s faulty.

The bike is a 2000 FZS600 and am now wondering what the likelihood is the instrument cluster is goosed.

Does anyone know where the connection from the sensor goes? Is it connected via the wiring loom to the instrument cluster or does it connect to somewhere else on the engine?

This is my first bike and am going through learning to maintain and fix it myself, but this is tipping me over the edge!

Any advice welcome! Thanks in advance.

Sadly the big ol' girl has finally gone :'( , so I've a few spare parts for sale which have been acquired over the years. Pictures to follow.

• Memphis shades screen - This excellent screen is designed primarily for cruiser bikes and bolts to the handlebars. There's a long review of these screens on FZS1000 here.    This was the only screen I ever fitted to the Fazer which allowed me to do 300 miles in a day in comfort, with minimal wind noise, buffeting & turbulence. There are a small few marks on the screen, but no deep scratches. As a reference I am about 5'8" tall. £85 plus post.
  
• R&G bar ends - silver / black, internal expander type that suits renthal bars, no damage £12 inc post.
  
• Oberon Bar ends - no longer made, these rare stainless bar ends are the expander type that suits renthal bars, one small blemish £12 inc post.
  
• R&G Crash bungs - There were a used set bought off ebay, both bobbins have wear/ damage. £10 inc post.
  

• Left-hand switchgear - suits earliest 2001 + 2002 models with their front headlight setup, great condition £10 inc post.

Are there other yamahas that use the same clutch basket etc as i cant find a good one
I want to modify one and not have my bike off the road
Thank you in advance 

Could anyone do me a big favour and post a picture of the position of the tip sensor and relays under the seat? I'm sorting out my new bike and someone's been in and just either wedged everything in or left it loose.


I've had a good search through the web and can't find a pic. The workshop manual doesn't seem to give detais of where everything goes.


The tip sensor is just loose under the back seat...


Thanks.

Anyone know why the fan starts so soon after starting? On other bikes it doesn't run until the coolant is up to temp, in the case of my Blackbird about 102°C.

Any Fzs1000 gen 1 riders with a temperature gauge fitted. Riding my bike in 17°C the other day and the temp indicated about 68°. As the outside temperature increased the coolant temp increased to about a steady 80°. I thought maybe the thermostat was stuck open but I've taken it out and tested  it and it's working correctly.
On my Blackbird once warmed up the temp is a steady 79° to 83° whatever the air temperature.
Is this normal for the Fazer?

Picked-up a late-model gen2 yesterday and in the process of going through it. I had a good read through but did anyone find a printed manual, haynes or otherwise?


I like a paper manual, find them more practical in a garage with oily hands.
