Don't it's the plugs , replaced them this year. The thing that really baffles me is my inability to put the bike in neutral when it occurs, if it's purely an electrical issue then I can't see this affecting a mechanical system like the gearbox and selecto r.

Hey guys , I have a GEN-1 2003 model and I have experienced a mystery shutdown twice now and it's quite scary when it happens.This is what happens, the engine loses power and will not rev up and will go to a weak unstable idle until it shuts off.When it does this the neutral can not be found...

Hello fellow Newfie! I am out in Calgary and have a gen1 FZ1. The bike is a blast! I rode mine long distances with ease. I consider it a modern day Nighthawk S. Comfy ,smooth and powerful you will not need another steed.

For a cheap but effective repair remove the cowl and JB weld it from behind. It's a good idea to use a reinforcing web and several coats of JB to strengthen the bond. Fill the hairline fracture on the shiny side with touch up paint and buff it good, it will be barley noticeable and save you $.

Air Filter Solution Hey Guys, I recently replaced my stock air filter with one I fabricated. What a difference!! With the carbs re-jetted and Yosh can alone it was burning much too rich, I could smell and see it. I examined the stock unit and discovered it only had a 1 inch hole to let air in...

The thing that scares me about synthetic oil is it's effect on the clutch. Has anyone noticed clutch slippage when using a full synthetic?

Mine snapped as well, the cable is horizontal which causes rust on the cable as it retains moisture in this configuration. Replace the cable before you break the handle bar switch.

Hello FZ1(Gen 1) Riders: I was wondering if anyone has installed and dialed in the FZ1 6Sigma Jet Kit that I purchased on Amazon recently. I was wondering the optimum setting for a stock bike with just a Yosh can slip on? The instructions provided indicated 2 turns on the idle jet screw and...

Thanks justpassinthru, now I will just need have to find out how to wire in a relay to this circuit , should be a video on youtube showing how to do this. I already have a fused plug wire coming off the battery for a tender, perhaps I could integrate this wire for grips use as well, I love dual...

It would need to be connected to the key switch in case they are left on it will drain the battery, I thought the starter wiring might be a good choice given the higher amp rating of this wire.

Hello Guys: I just picked up some heated grips. Has anyone installed these before? I want to know the best wire to tap in to for the higher current draw. Please advise I have the GEN 1 machine.

Thanks! What's up with the dim instrument gauges? Sent from my LG-M320G using Tapatalk
