Great stuff. Buying a 2011 on Thursday so this is just what i needed

Thanks for the video. I have been needing to recheck my chain tension on my 08 FZ1 for the last few hundred miles and was looking for a good refresher video. I can only procrastinate for so long.

Great stuff , I've got an fz1n 2007 and you can bleed the front brakes through master cylinder because all the pipes are vertical and air rises it works perfect if you push pots all the way in when changing front pads on bikes , but if the pipes are horizontal the bleeding from the nipple is essential 😉👍🏼👌🏼

Thanks for your video. I will apply it to my 2012 Fazer 800. There might be a few changes but relatively, they’re almost the same

Nice vid! I have an ‘07 in blue and I love it! Only thing I would add is when you pull out the oil filter, put down a piece of tin foil and your pipes don’t get oil on them.

Brilliant video, great help,definitely saving your vid ,fair play ,no nonsense and to the point, 06 FZ1owner 👍👍👍

GREAT vid! Thank you.

Thank you! I started riding a fre yrs ago and this video was not on there at the time! Ty I also have a fz1 🙏

Great video! Cheers!

very useful bro

I appreciate the video I have the same fz1 bike and like to learn anything about it

Thanks. I bought a FZ1 2008 in uk. The front lights and another things are a bit diferent them your bike, but the rest it is the same.

Just bought myself a 14 fz1 and I’m loving it. One of my favorite bikes I’ve owned and I’ve owned numerous sport bikes. What tank grips are those?

Proper guidance sir! How much oil do you put inside the oil filter before screwing it back? Have ordered oil + filters for the job!

I use 80w 90 gear oil because it seemed to out perform others but can flick off on to bike if you put to much on but I'd rather a healthy chain and sprocket to maximise life , there's a guy on KZfaq that does an independent test on all chain lubes and it's really interesting. 80w 90 seemed to perform much better than dry waxes from keeping water out to preventing dirt sticking and many more . But all chain lubes , waxes and oil companies don't have a legal standard like a lot of other products so I could melt down butter and sell it as chain lube without any problem which isn't great .

I was thinking of a zrx …I still may ….but now that I’m getting close to the proper amount of $$ saved ,in my research the fz1 keeps getting my attention …. And of course you have a video on a fz1 (as well as the one(s?) on the zrx…question(s) I have is / are… was hoping to spend @ around $5k for around a 10 (or so ) yr old used standard / naked street bike …seems now $5k on a used zrx or fz1 seem to have what use to be considered a lot of miles for a bike, 20,000 or more …i see for less miles ( in the 10-15k miles or less)prices seem to be Closer to $8000 . Granted bike is typically mint and a lil newer …but I digress , I’m wondering if 20k miles is still like it was in the 80’s or even the 90’s …where 20 k miles was similar to 100k miles on a car ? Or I was told that back then any ways …I’m handy but I don’t know exactly what to look for as far as possible issues with a used bike aside from obvious oil leaks or a loud knock or general appearance of neglect and or hard ridden etc… if a bikes 10-15 yrs old ,like a zrx and fz1 in particular , is 20 k+/- miles really bad if the bike looks ,sounds and rides generally good? Or is there a issue I out right look for with bikes of that era ? Sorry for always long commenting on your vids, you seem to be well informed “from experience “which is what I trust more than many others lol …love the repair / maintenance aspect video…I’ve not wrenched on my bikes in the past , but any future rides will be mostly self maintained/ repaired etc …so I appreciate these how To’s….oh and what type of gauge was that you used to measure the pads and tires ? Great content

What's the best way to go about looking for an early 80's Japanese bike? Specifically... 1980 Suzuki GS750L. Thank You.

How do I get the front seat off this thing to access the battery?

No mention of the exploding flywheel rotor issue?

I can’t get my seat off. Sounds weird but I can’t figure out how to take it off

Back again on a great video, what do you use to keep your headers shining and clean?

I currently own a 07 model Black n Red.Its very help to see another rider with my bike doing services. I changed the spark plugs on mine when I purchased along with everything you did in video. I have a sae converter which shows my battery voltage and it’s at 14 around idle like yours. I do have the stock stator (which has been known to malfunction because of magnets). Do you consider changing your stator?

9:35 another good tip when doing an oil change, make sure you don’t double gasket. make sure the old gasket comes off with the old oil filter. 16:27 also when it comes to valvestems, for the love of God, make your life easier and put 90° valve stems next time you get tires! My 2023MT 10 came with them from the factory, thank you, Yamaha!

your then second person that warms the oil before draining.....great throw all those metal particle all over the inside engine!! the purpose of changing oil is to get the old oil out THAT CONTAINS the contamients out! the metal wear and tear that takes out seals and bearings
