But we are still going to visit Lake Chini, right? A little shopping won't do any harm. Not sure what the others think. I'm okay with anything. Majority wins.

yup... I think I need to rephrase... not going to the town itself.. haha.. but then lake chini is our ultimate destination for that day... never been there also... ultimately, the choice lies on whoever is going...

[katana777]

no problem with mi, i just follow blindly

hahaha

[RS4]

that day really felt the power of my bike.... was in a bad mood then decided to thrash my bike with some heavy rev-ing/dragging... nearly fell and got wasted... the front of the bike seems too light.

 

i drag for the first gear, change to 2nd gear and pump in pertol , my bike wheelied unintentionally, was uncontrollable cause the handle bar kind of turn left and right on its own... any remedy too this....

 

after this i dun dare to thrash my beloved le.... thats just my expirence... pls feel free to share!!!

no lah. i go with my friends. just happen to met kenny there.

kenny go with big group, very scary.

i think you should go and try.just go there and take out your crash bar and enjoy the track.

remember just for fun, we are not pro.

[waiyuen]

yah loh, Katana shld buy a new crash bar, then corner can go lower, but MUST put a crash bar in anytime...last day bike fall down, luckly got crash bar protect...otherwise engine and tank all got sketch...sh*t. Might consider the H&B crash bar, like most protection...just like moka FZ1...but definitely over 200++

[RS4]

any body know of any one wanna see their fazer can pm me or drop me a email? cause my friend intrested in joining our group... that day lend him my bike LPC also shrink scare got tp hiding some where....

[katana777]

Hi guys,

 

Finally got my fazer 1 out. Great bike to ride. So used to riding a full fairing bike, it feels a lil bit heated on the fazer. Anyone care to share ur experience/comments. How hot will the bike get or how long will the fan start to switch on? kind of difficult w/o a temperature gauge.

 

btw, i'm looking for some accessories- rear hugger, belly pan, wind screen. so far i've only checked out motoworld. anyone can quote me the prices for the above? wonder where else i can look for the items other than looi's, biketech.

 

thanks, cheers!

Spotted my dream bike, a FZ1 at a bike shop and sat on it just to try out. Couldn’t try much of anything, but found the mirrors quite good and the steering quite light and neutral. So far so good.

 

However, with the bike upright, I find that I need to tiptoe with both feet on the ground. I’m 1.67m and 67 kg. The salesperson said I could soften the suspension. Can anyone advise if this is a good solution or if there’s any other way to get both feet a bit more planted on the ground eg adjusting the seat?

 

Also, for riders around my height, do you find any problem maneuvering the bike at slow speeds, pushing the bike either forwards or backwards while seated etc. I’m 80% convinced to get this beauty as opposed to the FZ6, as the looks and the power really bowl me over. I’m currently riding a specII, and find going through traffic on the highway a breeze. So, I’m also also quite wary about my confidence doing the same on a much bigger bike.

 

Thanks for any comments.

all bikes are difficult to control at low speeds...

 

The height isn't a problem as long as you are riding more then stopping...

 

the bike is super light, so you shouldn't have problem pushing it ard...

 

regarding breezing though traffic along highway, I would say that its a very dangerous thing to do... bu then if you can do it on a S4, then you can definitely do the same on this bike... as long as you have control over it...
