gas

The other day I was riding my 2004 FZ1 and on the lower RPMs it felt like it wasn't running on all 4. I decided (very stupidly) to tear into the carbs and clean them up. When I put it all back together, I tried to start it and it ran for about half a second, then died, tried again and there was...

TWM Keyless Gas Cap on my FZ10

I just took apart and cleaned my carburetors on my 01 FZ1. Put it back together, started right up and idles fine but dies whenever I rev it up. Revs perfectly when I spray starter fluid into the air intake so must be starving for gas. Is it possible that I mixed up the jets when I reinstalled...

A little gen 1 gas cap mod.... turn the key to open it, pull the key out, and you can push the cap closed without the key in it. Before: After:

Just reading thru my workshop manual for my 2008 Genll and i noted that section called "adjusting the exhaust gas volume" Does anyone know what this is for and what it is supposed to achieve? It doesn't mention it in the service schedule but its tucked away after throttle cable adjustment and...

My 2001 fz1 has recently been giving me some problems. The carbs needed cleaning and the fuel filter was gross. Finally got that straightened out and it runs great now. Besides when I hit 11,000 rpm's at full throttle. It stutters like it's not getting enough fuel. I just put a new fuel pump in...

Hi guys, Long time no post for me. I have an issue that has started recently. On Monday I filled up at my normal filling station. The only thing that was different is I wasn't paying attention and slightly over filled. I parked the bike over night, which it rained and the bike was...

Hi all, I just joined this sight and have a question that's been on my mind for a few days. I read recently, that an 2nd Gen FZ1 will get improved mileage with a power commander. I just bought two bikes, a 2008 and a 2012 (both were a deal and practically had no miles on them). Just...

Sorry my first post here is so negative, but I'm honestly baffled, shocked, and disappointed by how much I hate my stock '07 FZ1, a motorcycle I've been interested in for years. The short version is that it's the most uncomfortable motorcycle I've ever ridden, and it gets the worst gas...

Hello Fazers, My gas cap lock has been drilled out by a dimwitted shipping driver, and I've been waiting for reimbursement for the damage to buy a new one. In the meantime I've been using my trusty screwdriver to open the gas cap, which has worked until tonight. I went to get gas and the lock...

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum so I hope I don't break any protocol! I have a FZ1 which I haven't started for 1.5 to 2 years :( (long story). I am sure that there are many maintenance things that need done, but to start off I tried to jump my bike from a friends (Ninja 650) and when I start...

Sold! (01-28-2013) Up for sale is this blue tank from a 2003 Model FZ1. The finish is in excellent, if not, near new condition. I would say it was perfect except for two scratches (As outlined in the last three photos). Let's just say I bungee cord my ladder to my wall now!:disapproval: 2003...
