its not the one for the EXUP valve , this one primes your throttle bodies but im guessing its gonna be hard to distinguish

fz1 n idle problems
it worked for me, the only other thing that caused me a worry was it ran a little uneven before i serviced it last spring . i ran it through winter and you shouldave seen the state of the air filter!! mines an 06 and runs about 1500rpm on choke and around 1100 normal ,weather hasnt seemed to alter it much,im running a pc111 (standard can and velocity stacs from an 06 r1) if any thing it runs crisper when its cold whether

R1 Power from My FZ1
as far as i know the 07 fz1 runs a 5vy motor (04-06 r1) with different cams and a hevier crank ive bought an 06 r1 engine and im reserching how to go on. ive been told they have a higher inlet lift but if i run it i will have to switch exhaust cam because the cam sensor lobe is in a different position. this guy was drag racing and had swiched heads he said it made gains too high up the revs for him. you apparantly gain some low end power if you tie back or remoove the butterflies at the top of the throttle bodies. ivans do smaler replacements. i've been looking at replacing electrics with the r1 engine if i can do it but its still giving me a head ache ivans also do a feuel cut off eliminator which gives hp gains accross the range (an electronic thingi) hope this might help chris

Riding in the wind
Half way home on a500mile trip p**s wet through gettin over taken by just about every car ,blown from one carridgeway to another and not in the best of humor,a kindly police man pulled me over and told me there was a wagon and a few trees on there side up ahead and i shouldn't be riding .i thanked him and carried on, i got home to find there had been 30mph winds gusting to 70mph .even riding at 30 mph didnt feel safe .you find yourself lookin for every gap in the hedge or buildings and every possible piece of debris dustbin or whatever in front of you . 200% concentration isnt enough to beat mother nature, i tend to check the weather now and avoid the worst .if you are out in it slow down read yer road surface harder than normal and watch for other road users with high sides gettin into s**t near ya!!

o-ring chain, to lube or not to lube
Out in the snow earlier this year . normally i would wash down the bike and relube the chain. i was going away for a week, rushing about forgot to relube chain . came back did mi pre ride checks noticed tight link!!!said to myself "i'll replace it next weekend (with sprockets!)" accelerating hard to about 70mph off the power on the brakes and the SNAP! , YAMMAHA wanted £700 for a new swinging arm about £400 plus for plastics ect not to mention the hole in my leathers and mi arse cheek!! if i had had a pasenger on they would probably have lost there leg!! ive certainly learn't my lesson PROPER CHECKS AND MAINTAINANCE A MUST!
