there is more to ear plugs than just a plug, look at the db rating first. as some plugs are just trash. first stop is a contractors supply house. can buy in bulk (box of 1000) at a low cost point for good plugs.
not e-bay, or amazon. avoid those two places.
believe me price point is not want you...
last week, turning east onto march ln in stockton, ca. forget time. looked like maybe a gen 2 fz1. nice bright blue bike.
good to see other fz's in this area.
i may be wrong. but i understand the fz1 crank is heaver than the r1 crank. done so for better street usage. aka low end. but all bearings might be the same. never looked into such.
i am in a bit of need for a number of shims for a fz1 motor.
does anyone have a totaled gen one fz1 motor that is kapute? i would like to buy the valve shims from you.
.
i have a flat plate mounted. and a pelican style case that attaches to it. and a set of soft saddle bag's. then a web thingy and back pack. all together i can carry a lot, and have done many a mile doing such, bike camping.
thought about doing a mod to a spare seat pan. gen 1 fz1.
i know decades old. but scout. yes on the Alameda county sheriff riding class. worth it for everybody young, old nu-be, long time rider. and yes use there BIG heavy bikes.
i have found in my life that normal bulbs ver led. does not matter. as the fools that rear-end you are not looking to start with.
but with the low output of the gen on the fz1. led's can not hurt, more than your bank account.
have you checked ALL the wire connections? they can corode even if unseen can hurt the curent flow enought to drop the voltage to prevent things from happening. sometimes a wire can just"go bad".
as a now retired truck driver 40 years behind the wheel. i have had a number of blowouts, one scattered millions of bits. one split the rubber from one bead over the tread to the other bead. but the hard wire in both beads kept it on the rim. even threw a gaiter and the carcass still held air...
sad crooks()-up the wiring. how long was it gone? crashed? visible damage? they could have abused the motor.
i say part it out and buy a "new" first gen FZ1. and triple lock it up.
he has stated a number of time he hates motos and believes they are only death traps. only time in the series it was a stunt double riding the bike. in the movie it was a hot rod not a motobike
