    How to change Engine Oil on Gen 2 FZ1

    You could always use the K&N filters that have a nut on the top. That way you can use a socket or wrench to remove the filter.

    Hel brake lines FZ1n (routing)

    Had HEL on mine when I had it. Took a few pictures back then; They sat just right with no chaffing. I used the stock lowr holders but nothing under the triples.

    Wifey Wipe Out!

    It is Said. That if you don't crash in the dirt, you aren't trying hard enough. You also never expand your limits if you don't find and exceed them. That said, good job, and I'm glad she is fine.

    Finally...another bike for DenArnold

    Don't feel bad, only a full on dirt-bike knobbie would give you any amount of confidence in slippery mud. A TKC front would have been a bit better in that, but not much. Boys never really outgrow wanting to play in the dirt, do we.

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Not a bad backyard, I'll admit. I was cruising along one of the more spectacular back roads yesterday, thinking about how fortunate I was to live so close to such a beautiful place.

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Low Beam replacement After 45,600 kms, my low beam died (on the way to work in the dark). I have had to replace the high beam once in 102,200 kms, but this is the third low beam. I blame it on the off-road that I do. Just put in an H7 Ultra Sylvania.

    Adventure (ish) touring through wales

    Lytehouse looks after that and it will be up soon. You are a brave man with the FZ, and well done for not being afraid to get off the beaten path to get some great pictures! Wales is beautiful, it was my favorite area around England when I made it over there a decade ago.

    The Workshop - What did you do in Yours Today?

    I used to haul brisket to Texas from Alberta by the truck load. Little out of the way smoke houses. I loved the smell of those places! Tube steaks and Ketchup; remindes me of a scene in a Dirty Harry Movie with him showing his disgust at the combination.

    Weird ticking noise when key is turned "on"

    Just about all electronic tach displays do this as a start up test. My gen 2 did it, but just a single sweep. If the Gen 1 uses a facet fuel pump then the ticking is just how they sound. We have a Bobcat with a facet pump that does that.
