Hi, I just finally managed to get my plugs out of my Yamaha FZ1 - a physically impossible task if you have non-screwdriver arms. Here's how they look. Think they all need replacement? Do they tell you anything? I've managed to get just two replacement plugs so far. Would love for them to...

Likely buying a 2009 FZ1 with 7500km, planning on getting it thoroughly checked by a mechanic and certified at the same time. Everythings stock and unchanged including the tires, guy says he dropped it once while not moving but that nothing had changed I couldn't see it How much do you think the...

Hi people, My dashboard lights started randomly cutting in and out, but no other lights did Would I be correct to assume there's a weak connection somewhere therefore? And where would you recommend I check?

I'd just finished fixing the perpetual project that is my bike. I had a couple short rides, and didn't have any problems, then last night I came outside (light drizzle, doubt its relevant) and started her up with choke, was about to get on about 5 min later, noticed that the two big pipes coming...

Hi, posted something before and got a lot of help so here goes: My 98 EX500 was working perfectly, I had to remove the front wheel to access fender to paint it. Now that I'm done, I tried to replace the wheel, found that a brake pad had come out. I stripped a bolt trying to take the caliper off...

First post! So I got my first bike last season - 1998 EX500, 49k - and it refused to start already before the last season was over. I started taking it apart with the intention of working on everything possible before this season. When the weather was already "riding permitting" and I hadn't yet...
