Sorry, been busy for the last couple of days. The washers weren't sticky, just small fiber washers from one of the cases on the fastener aisle at H-Depot. Just remove the screws and add the washer. The hole in the washers was slightly larger than the screw shaft, so I had to center the...

Mine did this, and my cluster was replaced under warranty at 7K miles. New cluster did it even worse. Once the bubble is formed, touching it will only make the black face at the bubble fall off. The best fix I've found is to put small fiber washers under the screws. You can find some black...

Ha, ha... saw this thread and thought that somebody was talking about removing some useless part. When I clicked it, boy was I surprised to see I started it. Seems like a hundred years ago......

And that's that! CC is back to operational status. It's been a long time since it's worked, but I do seem to remember in it's final days that I had to sometimes hit 'set' a few times before it would go. Today, one tap and it was locked. Guess I need to see if I can contact the owner of the...

I have fully verified that all things outside of the servo are a-ok. Sounds like my fix is to change the dip switch setting. I will ground my b-light relay and change the dip switch setting. Should be ready for road test maybe tonight or tomorrow depending on my other 'chores.' Thanks to...

What I meant about messing with the ABS is that I'm not going to try to eliminate the milli's coming from the ABS module on the circuit other than at the cc unit. Some years back, before the cc unit addition, my ABS failed without warning. Turned out to be the main valve block. $1000 for...

My initial checks showed ~110 millivolts at the brake light line with the brakes off. Soooo.... to be sure I put a relay in-line to insure that it was zero ( at the cc only ) with the brakes off. Not happy with that, but it was mainly for test. BUT.... I did not hook the NC relay pin to...

This is probably more info than anyone cares for, but...... Been pissing around with the servo circuit board on the bench. Seems I can get it to work if I set dip switch #7 to off and supply a square wave input. Switch 7 sets coil or ECM signal as input. I'd like to believe that the ECM has...

Did you ever figure out what happened? Mine quit working sometime back too. Thing had probably only been used ~20 times. I had started looking at it when you started this thread. All the controls and wiring checked out ok, so I finally opened the servo up last night. I'm impressed with how...

You could just look for the 'abs' warning light on the instrument cluster. If the center warning llight has 'abs' on it.......

Hadn't checked this thread in a while. Rebuilt the forks and used Bel-Ray 7W, seems to work fine. Not overly cheap at $15 a litre. Bought it at Cycle Gear, so I probably could of got it cheaper somewhere else. Leak is gone, been riding the crap out of it. Just got my Fz1 back together (...

Yeah, checked the top 10 google results, but nothing clear on the correct weight for the oil. Just like the cool thread you linked, no mention of the correct oil viscosity. Eh, if nothing clearer comes up, 10W it will be. $90 is just to much for 2 liters of oil, unless someone can verify...

Blew a fork seal, so I'm going to replace the seals and bushings. Yamaha recommends '01' fork oil, which they are really proud of. Local dealer wants ~$90 for the 2 cans of oil to do my forks. Dealer has no idea what '01' oil is as far as weight, and the manuals only tell you to use '01'...

I usually don't post, but I though I should post this as kind of an 'alert.' Yes, I know, just because it happened to me doesn't mean much, but.... Out on my gen1 abs the other day, I dragged the rear wheel. Not a big thing, as I unintentionally do it on my fz1 on rare occasion, but wait a...

No. My gen1 fz1 doesn't have it either. Must be some kind of Euro thing, not much use for it here.

If this was a true rotation bearing, then I MIGHT worrry about it. But, it's just a limited movement, so a repack should be good. The needle bearings are not loose, and whatever came out was not a cage of any type. It did not maintain any space between the bearings, they were touching on all...

Year round riding where I live. I have two bikes, so one can be down for a while without interruption to my happiness. FjrTech says you can flex the exhaust, so I went out and tried that. I see the pics where he got his out, but mine doesn't want to bend anywhere near enough. Maybe I missed...

WIth 34K miles and a shot rear tire, I figured it was time to grease the rear swing arm and components. I had done this on the fz1 with little difficulty about a year ago, and found it to be in real need of lube with only ~24K on the clock. So, after much work, I get the swing arm off and try...

I'm a little late, but I 'spect that was me. White, no bags. Okay, I'm sure it was me. I spend alot of time on those roads, zipping to nowhere.

Wasn't my intent when I painted it, BUT I do have days where people just move out of my way. There were alot of ST coppers around here this summer, so I do think some people mistake me as such. I just need a white helmet... ah, I'd probably get shot. Nothing quite like coming down a road...
