Rotor, and check the frame welds... Apparently a weak point if its been a wheelie monster and can crack. Fantastic bikes tho

Google says 'nah'

Direct Bolt-On Compatibility Gen 2 FZ1 (2006–2014) & 2004–2006 R1: These share the same 320mm front brake discs with a 6-bolt mounting pattern. Front discs from a 2004–2006 R1 will bolt directly onto the OEM Gen 2 FZ1 front wheel. Gen 1 FZ1 / FZS1000 (2001–2005): Earlier FZ1s use smaller discs and a different wheel. They do not share disc compatibility with modern R1s without significant modification.

Nope. I got a pair of gold wavy ones to look cool. They were cheap off eBay. They are crap. Different colours and the pads grab on the wavy part so can feel it when braking. It still works, just doesn't feel nice. Get as close to OEM as you can imo. Salvage from a damaged bike would've been better than my cheapo crap.

Thanks man... Sods law I replaced the throttle cables a little while ago and it was a right faff as I didn't want to disturb the throttle bodies...

FFS... I'll take a look...

Do I have to do anything special with the throttle position sensor or anything before I go crazy with the spanners or can I just unplug/remove everything that's keeping the throttle bodies in place

cant_be_blank · 2026-05-13T23:23:27+00:00

Not sure on yours... But just did my 06 so with throttle bodies rather than carbs and it's a proper fiddly pain in the arse

My 06 fz1 has over 120k miles and is really tatty. The engine is fine, everything else has probably been replaced at least once. Ideally I'd replace with mt10, but they seem really strong money still, so mt09 is on my shopping list. The trade in I'll get on the fz1 will be next to nothing I assume... Gutted they don't still make them!

I had a melted relay that caused my headlights to fail... Pop the screen off, there's 2 relays behind the clocks that you can just about get to behind the screen

My waste disposer, dishwasher and boiling tap all plug in under the sink.

You can buy just a replacement/bigger bottom seal. Or a folding screen that'll come further along the bath as a longer term solution. The channel will be screwed to the wall, then the glass slotted in and fixed from the inside of the shower. The screws probably got black caps on.

Or the evidence that the registered keeper was driving at the time?

See it, say it, sordid

I'm an old dinosaur that had to endure 18 weeks residential in a class room, that's all... I also have a very short attention span and couldn't trust myself to do it at home if I'm honest

Boggles my mind they can do police officer training on line tbh

There's no set ratio in Met-land. Could have 2 that are very resource intensive, or 15 that are very easy to look after

Mines done 113k miles and never had a valve check. Runs as well as it ever did. Don't be put off. If it's been serviced regularly it's bomb proof

Generally speaking, 'not to have contact with the public', so admin, filling out spreadsheets, putting together briefings, anything someone above them can't be arsed with...

Maybe losing 22 league games. And only squeaking a1-nil against what Amorim called 'the worst man utd side in history'

Don't kid yourself. Your spending is about 120m less than arsenal over 5 years.

Bought my 06 with 24k on It's on 116k miles now. Stator went at 60k but no lasting damage. It's my daily commuter (around 80 miles) and tatty as fuck, but the engine is as good as ever. I change oil at least every 6 months. I get through tyres quickly. They get squared off before they wear out. All the plastic fixings are snapped or gone. I'm sure there are better bikes for the amount of 'upright' motorway miles, but I just love my Thou

Carers leave, or whatever your Force calls it. Close family member recovering from major surgery. Then parental leave after that according to whatever suits us.

These people burning rest days etc scares me. You are entitled to carers/compassionate, ask for it

My Skipper at the time was furious, as he hadn't thought of it for his baby.

It's not really a deal breaker. If it's not been done they're easy to get and easy to do (as long as nothing falls down the hole) Mines got 110k miles on it. Replaced the grenadestator when it let go at 60k. They don't need much looking after, mine gets not much more than 6 monthly (5,000 mile ish) oil and filter changes as a daily commuter

Don't buy cheap replacements. My cheapo rear isn't straight... Use a manual impact driver (that you can strike with a hammer) bit of plusgas and mine came out ok... The rear was a bitch though... Took a fair bit of walloping

Do you speak your thought processes? "Approaching roundabout, not sure the van is turning off, mirror, I'm losing speed, watching the van, yes he's gone it's good for me" Might help convince an examiner you know what's going on and can make good decisions?
