IMO the factory settings are horrific! My suspension guru reckons they are the exact opposite of what they should be. ymmv!

Thankfully my hands are xs according to Alpinestars so I should be ok, but i'll defo keep you updated. I really should get my hands on a manual, you are quite right... Fingers xed anyways. Gotta be worth saving £200! That's a new Arai, nearly. My Shoei has over 30,000 miles on it and...

Great advice (spelt correctly this time)... thanks guys! Ordered my feeler gauges and spark plugs etc so will probably do it all next weekend. Love this place :) Nix

Brilliant. I figured it would be easy enough. Even a girl like me can change the oil without issues :) Just looked at the book, and its spark plugs replacement time.. how tricky is it? Nix

Hiya! My bike is now out of warranty, and its due a service. The Yam guys want to charge over £200 for the 12K service. Ouch! I think its just an oil/air filter change. Seems extortionate. Any reason I can't just do it myself, or is it necessary to use the computerized doodads they have to...

Suffolk here... anyone here head out to Finchingfield on a Sunday? Off there in a few mins :)

It was immense thanks!!! :) Only my second track day, perfect weather. Just brilliant. I'm off to the next one on 27th Sept, won it through Bennetts on Facebook! There's tons of pics on MSV photography's website, but I'm too cheap to buy them!! (plus they are well embarrassing as I'm...

I'm one.. an FZ girl that is... :) Glad to see there's a few of us about ! Nix

Hi all, Off to Snetterton for a track day next Thursday... anyone here going? Its only £75 for the day, total bargain imo. Love the new Snetterton track! Nix

I hardly ever use the clutch on upshifts, unless my chain is too tight, in which case i'll run home and loosen it off right quick. it's so much smoother and faster. Maybe in traffic... The suspension is sooo much better with a loose chain. I don't get booted out of the seat on nadgery roads...

Hiya, Mine was running a bit rough, and the guys at the dealership put it on the diagnostic unit thingy and reset it, which helped tons. Apparently the stock set up is rubbish. Might be worth a try......

That's kinda what I thought, sounds expensive! Trouble is the screw is steel and tiny, the housing is aluminium, so we're worried about messing the whole thing up by retapping it. Think I'm gonna hit a wreckers and see if they have one! Thanks for your help. :)

forgot to mention... Me again! Forgot to mention, when we were getting the clutch sensor switch off, the tiny wee screw that holds it onto the clutch lever housing sheared off.. so I think I need to get a new housing.. it's cable tied on for now. Anyone know of a parts list for UK models so...

Fixed! Hi again, Just to let you know, my dear bro fixed it yesterday... the problems were within the 2 switches (clutch sensor switch and main ignition starter switch).. they were both full of rubbish and not connecting properly. So Happy!! Thanks for your help guys.. :) Nic...

You guys are amazing! Thanks for the quick responses... As for turning the bike off with the key.. I'm an instructor... and that's what we are programmed here in the UK to tell our guys to do.. something to do with load on the electrics (don't ask me I don't do techie... can you tell!!!)...

Hello! New here... well I've been watching for a long time but never plucked up the courage to ask a q till now... I have a 2008 FZ1-N, UK version, had it since new.. never been dropped.. I have Oxford heated grips installed (yes, I'm a girl and a wuss!!), and an R&G tailtidy (hated the...
