Oh i bought used bike, not new. Pics of the rider seat below...

Attachment 247639Attachment 247640

U guys have this prob?

Btw, how do u move the mirror stems inwards to avoid letting them get hit by other bikes?

Eh ur pic is showing rider seat. Not rear. So ur problem is missing clip for rider seat? But i c e clip looks ok?

Might it be u "insert" e seat not "skill" enough. i also ve to insert rider seat a few times before get it. Pillon seat i put cloth so open often and use to it. But rider i not used so never manage to get it right 1st few times.

For ur side mirror, if stock type, u just need to use strength. But others ve advise me not to else over time will be loose. If u wan to "open/close" ur side mirror, can consider getting after market like rizomo? Got chiong type also. I think those easier to open/close.

Or just go jb during off peak.

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

I have the chiong type mirrors but abit useless coz u can only see ur fingers..

Ya my pics are showing the rider seat. What is the clip u're referring to?

I think i should make the pics clearer. The one below shows the scratches on the black plastic projection and the grooves cut into it. This projection is the part that u insert into the seat holder before locking yr rider seat.

The next pic shows the metal seat holder located below the rider seat.
IMAG0152a.jpg

Because i can't insert the projection into the seat holder, i hv no choice but to place the projection on top of the seat holder before locking my rider seat. So a small prob now is my rider seat is slightly higher.

Oh. Is i misunderstood ur first post on this issue. Dunno how i thought u were talking about pillon seat and clips. Lol.

Anyway ur pic looks just like mine of coz without e scratches. When u get e bike, e rider seat was it like now abit higher? Or it was fitted properly? I suspect it can be fitted properly but need to find e sweet spot. When i remove e rider seat first time, i had a hell of a time trying to put it back. *sweat*

Maybe can ask e experts here out for a cup of tea. ^^

When i got the bike, i can't remember if the rider seat is abit higher. Never notice. Yah i can't find that sweet spot...keep trying and trying then gave up.

Just now saw my tyres are dunlop sportmax. Are they ok on dry and wet? Stock tyres?

[pichudot]

hilfiger, it looks like either the previous rider or u had put the seat above the cache and ride with it, that caused the damaged.. it shouldn't be of much a problem la.. u can try fitting it back nicely and there u can go already, unless u can't live with the damage.. hahaha..

to know if u get it fit into the cache or not, v easy to know one.. by looking before u slotting ur seat into the cache or once u placed it, try lifting/pulling the front side of the seat up with small force, u will be able to feel it already..

give a try again.. else like what danielling1981 said, pay him tea to get it done..

no i don't move my mirror an inch becus of that reason.. any bikes hit my mirror & if i'm in a foul mode, he's prepared to get hit by my panniers shortly..

btw, i'm using stock mirrors & i have mirror extender some more.. this will enhance me to see more of behind without seeing my own arms.. hahaha.. in order to see wider, i have concave mirrors installed.. i can see TP hiding behind me anytime.. hahaha!

hi guys,

bought the topbox (with FZ1 brackets and railing) from mteknik on May 26th 2012.

IF you are looking for a topbox for FZ1, kindly contact me at 98512797 or PM me.

Please refer to the pics I have uploaded.

Selling for $650. Serious buyer only, low baller will not be entertained.

Thanks.

I can live with the scratches and damage, but just dun like my seat to be slotted in incorrectly...ok i'll take note of yr suggestions and try again...

[danielling1981]

@MonoWorld. Nice box. ^^ but too ex for me. Lol. Ur box can buy my (rack + base plate + box) x 2. ._.

@hilfinger. Best to sort it out asap. Sounds like safety issue. Scarly u higher spd or cornering e seat move and put u off balance.

[hilfiger]

There is a way to adjust the biting point of the clutch lever right? Just turn the bolt at the clutch lever? Cos my biting point is quite close to the fully clutched-in position.

When i turn forward the adjusting bolt at the clutch lever, i notice the clutch biting point becomes nearer to handle grip. When turn backward, the biting point becomes further away from handle grip. Is it ok to adjust clutch biting point this way to suit my style?

Just now saw my tyres are dunlop sportmax. Are they ok on dry and wet? Stock tyres?

Found out from the web that they're stock tyres for fz1 and reviews are not v gd. Hmm...gotta burn pocket soon...

Nice 52L H&B box.

Are you looking at "downgrading" to a smaller box?

I am using a 50L H&B box now. Regretted slightly after I saw it after I ordered it. I thought a 50L should be enough for me. But alas, it is not big enough for my NTUC goceries shopping or milk powder+diapers purchase.

So am looking at "upgrading" from a "HDB 4-room" to a "HDB 5-room".

If you are looking at "down-grading", we can always negotiate a deal and I top up the difference slightly.

But judging from your sales thread of wanting to sell the whole set of box + brackets for FZ1, are you looking at changing your whole set-up?

Are you willing to part with your box only?

Did you install a back-rest cushion for your 52L box?

Thanks.

[danielling1981]

like super off butt power side corner?

Super bike emergency eject seat.

My 1st choice is PR2 or 3 but quite ex. $430 and $460 respectively now. Used to hv PR2 on my gsr previously, used for only abt 9k+ km then trade in already. Now dun feel like spending so much again.

2nd choice is Angel ST but price is same as PR2, $430.

Any other recommendations? Cheaper abit...

[hilfiger]

@danielling1981, pichudot: Finally manage to slot in my rider seat properly..after abt 1hr of trying and experimenting...

Had to use penknife cut off some rough surfaces of the plastic projection, and then bend and bend the projection lower a no. of times...Then try slightly diff angles of installing seat and finally manage to push it properly into the seat holder with some force...Phew!


I hv an urgent qn...

If i fix sw-motech toprack with givi adapter, do i still need to use a givi base plate to attach a maxia box?
The maxia box also comes with stoplights kit, can the kit be used together with the sw-motech toprack and adapter? I'm quoted $230 for the rack and $65 for adapter. Ok?
Lastly, my bike now has givi sideracks. Can i fix the sw-motech toprack without removing the sideracks?

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

Got a question to anyone that diy coolant flush/top up.. Wha i read from the manual is that to top uP the coolant from the reservoir cap and not from the radiator cap. Im confused now..

[danielling1981]

@hilfinger. gz on getting ur seat in. "Sad" no more eject button. ^^

by right, sw-motech should have it's own rack + base plate that fit the box.. but the ques that i think most or all of us are unsure is that the sw-motech base plates comes with the stop lights kit or not.. if no, is sw-motech rack compatible with givi base plate that has the stop lights kit or not.. this is the ques where only someone here do have the same setup as you mentioned can answer you or the dealer to answer u..

for pricing wise.. no comments.. different rack, different base plate, different pricing..

fz1 with givi side racks? if yes, yes, you would need to remove the side racks again becus there is this piece of metal plate that is attached between the underneath of your tail & the splash guard aka number plate holder, it's different..

[0yuan0]

Sw-motech does not have the base plate to do together with maxia light kit. Only some givi monokey base plate have the hole/slot for the light kit.

While travelling on my 600 lamb on AYE 4th lane towards CTE at about 1745hrs just now, saw a FBD FZ6N followed by a FBF FZ1s2 with red and black "sai tao" riding past me on the broken white lines in between the 3rd and the 4th lanes.

I picked up speed and followed them behind the FBF FZ1. I picked up speed until 1++km/hr liao, but the FZ6 in front picked up speed and went ahead by leaps and bounds. Then the FZ1 also picked up speed and went ahead far far away. I tried to play catch up at close to 119 liao, still cannot smell their smoke.

I know it is the rider, not the bike. I scared of "uncle Sam in white Diversion 900 with side panniers", so I reduced speed back to the normal.

Just wondering if it was any one of U on the the FZ6 or FZ1?

Since I did not managed to catch up to say hi, just thot of coming here to say hi. Hahaha...

Ok tks for info, i might remove sideracks fr my bike also eventually.

Sw-motech does not have the base plate to do together with maxia light kit. Only some givi monokey base plate have the hole/slot for the light kit.

Ok...so if i use sw-motech toprack and maxia together, i'll hv to forgo installing the stoplight kit...
I find sw-motech rack is nicer than givi rack, that's why not considering givi rack.

No, the drain point is at a bolt at the engine case. Please refer to the maintenence manual. Usually in the left side of the bike bottom for most jap bike .
