Got it back from the dealer 15 minutes ago, after he did the following work:

new generator (ouch!)
new OEM rear shock and linkages
new chain & sprockets
new throttle cable
new fork oil
new oil and filter
HEL brake hoses
new brake pads
new mirrors (ones I've had for 5 years under warranty that I never got round to fitting)
beowulf titanium exhaust (baffle sitting on my desk  :eek )
new Bridgestone T30 front and rear (used to BT23s and these are supposed to be better)
deep clean

Since that lot cost a bit, I'm keeping the FZ1 for a few more years and will probably get a few more bits done - such as new downpipes and possibly an Ohlins shock.

Looking forward to riding it home. Have only ridden it 4 times this year since the floods affected things badly where I am.

What rear shock did the dealer put on and why did you not just a pay a bit extra for the Ohlin's if that's what you desire

I simply wanted to keep the cost down so made do with another Yamaha OEM shock for the FZ1. The earliest I'll consider buying a new bike is likely 2017. If I decide to get an Ohlins shock and the forks done too before then, I'll hang onto it for much longer.
