Hi all
Bike failed mot on throttle sticking, replaced the cables ,W.D the spring on the carbs
Still sticking.


any ideas amigos ?

To anyone thinking of going down the BoosterPlug route....read on.


I watched AndyManCam's YouTube video where he installed one on his FZ1 and thought I'd try and find one for the FZ6. Well, it turns out that they are £129 a go brand new.....but the internal gubbins on all models appears to be the same. Just the plugs at the ends are different for each motorcycle model.


So, my solution isn't quite plug'n'play but very close.


I picked up a BoosterPlug off Marketplace for £60 and then grabbed some no-strip wire connectors off Amazon for £8 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DK7HBKR


It is as simple as it sounds - cut the female plug off the BoosterPlug (with a good 8cm of wire attached) and attach a connector at each cut end. Cut the female plug off the AIT sensor and swap 'em over whilst keeping the wire colours in the right orientation.


Works a treat! Much smoother acceleration and less jerkiness when opening up the throttle from idle in 2nd gear.


Still got half a tank of fuel so I'll fill up at some point and log the mileage for that full tank on Fuelly and see if mpg changes. By all accounts it doesn't change at all, but I'll find out for myself.

This topic has been moved to FZS600 Fazer.

Hi all


An Seat for sale - this has been modified by someone prior to me buying it. It is probably 1/2 to 3/4" lower than standard, some of the foam has been removed which has got rid of the angled edges of the original seat. Whoever did it made a good job of it.


Purchased for my wife to ride the Fazer, she never did, but I used the seat all the time as I found it more comfortable and preferred it to the standard.


£90 including postage


Best wishes

So like a lot of other FZ1 owner I am being iritated by the rattle on the front calipers

- https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=3139.0

In a nushell the calipers on the FZ1 dont seem to be of the same qaulity/design as the ones on my previous FZS1000. The rattle is caused by wear in the caliper body where the side of the pads touch the caliper.

From memory I think Gnasher said the best long term fix is to replace the calipers which those of an XJR or an FJ. before I start looking I thought I would ask if anyone found a work around for the issue.

I havent checked yet, but I think making sure the pistons all move freely may also help a bit (So when its not so hot outside, will so the push out, sctahcbright, push back on them)

I’ve bought a 02 FZ1 as a second bike.
Been looking for one for ages because of their reputation. But I’m disappointed in my bike.
It’s slow. For a litre bike. I expected a bit more tbh.  The handling is sketchy. Really sketchy. Almost dangerous when pushing on.

My bike is tired and needs some tlc and I’ll work though the issues.
This forum is a wealth of good tips for upgrades etc. here’s hoping I can make the bike I wanted.

Thanks for all the great write ups etc. Helped already with the sized exup I had.
