FZ1 observations and questions

[stevierst]

1. Is there a mod for the side stand to make the stubby sole catcher longer?
2. Is there a common mod for the horn?
3. My mirrors seem to be loose, should they wobble at the stem where it connects to the fairing?
4. I never used the standard pressure on my 600 - is there a recommended pressure other than the standard tyre pressure for the FZ1?
5. I changed the headlight bulbs on my 600 for Phillips Blue Vision, are there any recommendations for after market headlamps?

1.Some people have puts short piece of tubing on the stand sticky–out thing to extend it slightly.
2. Replace it with a more powerful one? It hasn't bothered me, so not done anything with it.
3. Mine do that too. The only way I found to tighten them is to take them off, and tighten the axis rivet with a hammer.
4. I can edge out the tyres with 36/42 pressures when solo, and im 13.5 stone on sports/touring tyres
5. Nightbreakers are the way forward, a huge improvement.

As for the stalling and jerkiness on cold start, mine does that too, you've just got to be careful until she's warm. The end can makes the bike more responsive and thoroughly more enjoyable.

Hope this helps bud.
