[Group] Yamaha FZ1/Fazer 1000

[tweety64]

ermmm.. my right hand is not lite at all.. apparently when i always go fast and high rev it.. the lower the FC.. and the more jams i encounter the slower i go.. the higher the FC... weird bike.. thats y i like to go damn fast and play with the cars with that bike

 

btw how far can the reserve go?? 30/40??

 

My Fz1s light on at 230km, try 70km when reserve with only 0.5L left in tank.

I keep my rpm at below 6k=130km max.

[CrossOver]

usually 220km will enter reserve. 3.4L remaining in tank

 

same as mine.. use to be 240km.. then change air filter, smaller sprocket and exhaust become 210-220.. like riding drz liao.. haha

[Gal_SGRider]

wow.. so to be on the safe side is 50 - 60km lah for reserve?

[DaBonz]

wow.. so to be on the safe side is 50 - 60km lah for reserve?

 

about there sumwhere but really depends on how u ride at the time.. goin 190km/h n I dunt think u can get 60km on reserve.

wah if i am on reserve i will switch to conservative riding, limping around 80 - 100 kmh trying to reach the nearest petrol station...but so far so good, never touch reserve cause when you ride with gen2 riders, the gen2 will be more urgent in looking for a petrol kiosk than a gen1..

[mokamoka]

wow.. my reserve lights come on about 160... MILES!!!...

 

On the highway, it comes on at 170.. Miles!!!...

 

But but... my is a gen 1 and my fuel guage is "out of sync" oledi...

[Addictive]

The FC difference between street riding and highway riding is quite drastic.

Previous job, I did 80% highway 20% street : Reserve blinking @ 230~240km = 16-17km/l

Current job, everyday squeeze traffic along clement road (100% street riding), Reserve start to blink @ 200, sometimes 190. = 14-15km/l.

since its on the FC topic, just gt my 1st readings... 212km hit reserve.. i reckon dats jialat?

oh jimmy almost gave chase thought you went hollanders with kevin with the double O o

Actually not bad, better than mine. My case, reserve can start to blink within the range from 190~240.

 

IMHO, I think there 3 main factors affecting FC (Using Stock as gauge)

1. Traffic Condition

2. Throttle habit

3. Bike Run-In Process

 

But have to accept the fact tt it's a litre R1 detuned engine which make fz1 a drinker. But who cares when it's so much fun riding on this torquey monster.

[PaLmEr]

Normal SG riding = 220km open reserve

High Speed riding (>180km/h) = 130KM

[tweety64]

Normal SG riding = 220km open reserve

High Speed riding (>180km/h) = 130KM

 

Urs really a drinker.

My Normal SG riding = 220-240km open reserve

High Speed riding (>180km/h) = 190-210km

 

Guess it still depend more on Throttle habit.

[swat_]

haiz looks like i have to readjust petrol stops on the nshw if going for touring...

 

used to ride an AT, GP->sg besi no top up no prob

[MuNkyFooT]

oh jimmy almost gave chase thought you went hollanders with kevin with the double O o

Bekok is a town located at the eastern side of the district of Segamat, Johor, Malaysia. Bekok is well-known especially among nature lovers since Bekok is the western entrance to Endau Rompin National Park as well as having a refreshing waterfall known as Sungai Bantang Waterfall. Besides of the waterfall and also the entrance to the largest state park in Johor, Bekok also houses several aborigine settlements (Perkampungan Orang Asli) like Kampung Kudong and further inside the forest Kampung Kemidak. Pekan Air Panas is another settlement near Labis.

hmm. you shouldnt lose so much km when you are on high speed, at most maybe around 40 km..unless you are on 270 kmh all the time..

anyway to me around 180 to 200 kmh is normal touring speed, high speed is like above 240 kmh, now that drinks!!!

qns: whats the recommended selling price for a used remus hexacone for fz1?

[mokamoka]

maybe 400 bucks?

[swat_]

400? from a brand new price of 1100? dats a lot of depreciation hahah

[maxxmadness]

2nd hand exhuast got no value..usually lose more than 50% of original purchased price
