As suggested, got all abrasive with the terminals and no problems since. Time will tell. Thanks for the assistance. Gee, that whole European Common market love-in seems to be working out just dandy.

Got a 2003 FZS1000 with about 55k on the clock and runs like a charm. However, like it's elderley owner, it has developed a habit of clearing the trip and clock memory all on it's own accord. The odometer is OK but it has happened about three times in the last 4 months - not a big problem, just a bit annoying. Seems to happen at start-up. Any suggestions? We would be most appreciative here in the colonies.

Will see what I can organise - tried to upload an image for my avatar but my smallest was still too big.

G'day. I live in the home of enormous boody great tropical cyclones. Been riding a 1991 GPZ900R for the last 17 years and 240,000 kms until it tried to kill me a couple of months ago. Sadly it paid the supreme sacrifice and has been carted off to the wreckers. For some time I have been contemplating an upgrade and what I really sought was the current equivalent of the old GPZ. That is, something I could load up with all my gear for a comfortable 7600 km round trip to Phillip Island - something I've been doing for the last 15 years or so. Had been thinking along the lines of the 1200 Bandit until a friend suggested a look at the FZS1000 and as it turned out, there was one offered for the sale in the next suburb. Anyway, picked up a 2003 model with 49,000 on the clock and in the couple of weeks of ownership, have been very impressed.
