I was sent offshore so it took a while to get back to this. No joy. I replaced EVERY standard fuse. I put a meter into the two coonectors on the brake side and tried the brake. No change in voltage. I tried connecting the meter to the two wires on the clutch side that would go perfectly to...

Hey effzed6, I was thinking about it, and I hope I don't offend by kinda putting you in spot for parts. Sorry about that.

I'm from the northeast US originally and there is no way I'm touching my bike in the winter if there's a chance of ice. The only wreak I've been in was with my very new car and black ice VS telephone pole. That said, it's a thread like this that makes me thankful I'm in the deep south now. I...

I've got mixed feeling about the sliders. I'm looking for something like a frame guard (not crazy about the "standard" one that's out there). A slider with a big metal ball that works like a roller at the end seems like a good idea:rof:. I went down in a tight left turn at about 28-35mph on...

Thanks all. Just to follow up. Both of the switch/sensors (kickstand and clutch handle) were corroded. After running it for a long while and relentlessly engaging the clutch until my hands hurt it was working great. I opened the filler cap and could see it move smooth and quiet. I also had the...

"Made in China" I got $$ on it.:rof: Good idea on carrying tywraps. I'm going to have to add that to my kit.

He is talking about these: http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i406/redsreboot/2011-12-04_21-17-18_257.jpg If he doesn't take them I'd be interested in both of them. Either way, what about the left stator cover. Oh and I'm also looking for a grab bars/pillion to swap out. Mine got ripped...

2005 with 5700 miles....wreaked:spank: from previous owner. $1,000. About another $500 in parts/acc. and I lost count the man hours and wrench time.

I have finished making cosmetic repairs to the bike and fired it up today. It had not been started in about 6 months, but aside from extra fuel prime time it started right up. The problem is that I have a squirrel in the clutch and it doesn't seem to be fully engaged. I put the bike on the...

I just received confirmation of my order:rockon::sinister:

I'd definitely still recommend the speedohealer if you want to get the best price should you ever sell the bike. Otherwise the inaccurate readings leave you with a speedometer that says you have more miles on your bike than you really do.

I think i'm too late, but if they don't get it, I have a stock 2005 seat I want to change out.

Where didyou get the givi guard and how much did it cost? I'm still trying to replace those covers because my sliders didn't save them.

LOL! I was cursing up a storm, but I managed ok. I'm 6' 1" and weigh about 250lb. So basically I'm pretty well built and throwing my weight on it worked well. I did use a "cheata pipe" as all my mechanic and oilfield buddies call em. Gotta love physics and pipe extensions.:rockon:

Sadly, my company is blocking the site the picture is from. Sounds like I'm really missing out.

It would have been nice if I knew that I needed a huge freaken adjustable wrench for the back tire without the tool kit and a 19mm hex to get the front off! That alone added a day to my tire swap.:spank:

You won't be 100% for a long time, if ever. I was medically discharged from the army because I almost died of pnuemonia. I had a fever of 103F for a week straight and almost fried my liver with all the meds they put me on. I still have scar damage in my lungs years later. It's the worst...

This may be a stupid question, but I always was taught to never use synthetic with that friction eliminator additive. Something about having issues with the clutch slipping if it gets coated in that stuff. I know a lot of us run synthetic though. I just switched mine to the Rotella stuff and...

I'm amazed the Fz is even legal in that state with all the exhaust, noise, and god knows what else they regulate or outlaw there. Always wanted to visit, but refuse to ever live there for this very reason.:spank:

I'm going to have to change my tires on the fazer for the first time this weekend. I did it on my first bike (81' silverwing) but that was an easy job because it is shaft driven. That one was just a matter of mating up the splines and resetting the axles. Anyone ever did a writeup for...
