maybe yammie dun encourage you to pull out your own tank...

they encourage you to bring ur bike to them for them to pull our your tank...

hahahahaha!

 

this is polished liao... but i was wonder wad is that stain look-alike thingy there...

[skateboy]

then that is not good. no matter wat, we need to life the tank for servicing. but that dun deters any one. if there's a will, there's a way..

 

my FZ1 oso have this stain. dunno is it caused by heat or wat. my metal polish oso cannot remove the stain of my bike's headers too.

my method is best la... u can even lift up your tank till 90 degrees! then u can do ur works freely... more freely compared to 45 degrees lift...

[skateboy]

har? urs can lift to 90 degrees? mine cannot leh... near to 90 but not 90...

[Yatz86]

does the original headers in this color?

it seems like there's certain "thing" or "solution" on the header and when it heat up it turn out to be such a manner.

Hmmm I'm been using autosol, its a very good polish and restore stainless steel shine easily. If those burned marks too tough to be remove, perhaps ya can try sanding it with very fine sand paper. Very satisfying.

.......................

 

 

I use fine sand paper for stubborn stain, autosol to polish, and normal wax to maintain.

 

Are you talking about the one with coolant hose connected one ?

The one is heat exchanger between engine oil and coolant, Yamaha call it oil cooler.

[pichudot]

har? urs can lift to 90 degrees? mine cannot leh... near to 90 but not 90...

 

yup can... tested and proven...

you are right, never use autosol, using sandpaper is a killer,..just use normal car-wax, not polish...the trick to keeping it nice and great shine is after every ride, just do a check and see if it is dirty, if it is, clean it immediately after it is cool enough...mine already 5 years but still like new

if not glued.. using force can remove it.. but can just go to your favourite bikeshop and borrow the air pressure gun.. lol.. the problem is my clutch grip too tight, they glue to the handlebar.. i tried using the gun also no use.. need to cut..

agree. some autosol polish have abrasive 'beads' that will scratch the shiny headers. invest on liquid metal polish. i'm using turtle wax all metal n billet polish platinium series. so far not bad. sandpaper will only scratch the headers.

 

the trick is to maintain the cleanliness of the headers from day one. polish it once with good polish for the 1st time, then subsequently, just use water to clean it when its dirty. that can last for very long b4 the next polish. if super long polish one time, i can say no use cos all the dirt are stuck at the headers with heat treatment everyday while riding the bike.

joking only la bro... hehehehe~

i'm not that siao go change the whole set of headers on such condition...

 

but, i seen a DRZ with yoshi blue flame full system sia... super nice...

wonder is there blue flame titanium for headers & mid pipe or not...

[maxxmadness]

 

bro ah, where got time like you to polish/wax it after every ride wor? alamak~

 

actually very little work..like skateboy say, just have to make sure after every ride it is clean, these are little things you do where it dont mean much initially, but down 5 years, your bike will still look brand new..

Hi

 

Does anyone here send their Fazer to Hong Leong for the 5,000km servicing? Already done the 1,000km and 3,000km at Hong Leong and it's time now to switch to full synthetic oil(strong preference for Motul 300V). Is it necessary to go back to Hong Leong or any reputable bike shops will do? Thanks.

[fir_chan]

nwae,

qns: what are the recommended spares/any specific tools to bring along for touring with an fz1? other den the compulsory tyre repair kit...

 

Few things you want to consider, spare brake/clutch levers, clutch cable, cable ties, duct tape, chain lube...

 

Where you heading to?

a little effort after a rainy ride or 2 to 5 days of normal riding, just use clean water to wipe the whole bike including headers, u will realize there is no need for shampoo wash or polish that frequently. mayb a few mths one time for a through wash down. if paint work got wax coating, even easier to maintain.

any shop can do the oil change. as long as u know what to change can already. oil filter is recommanded to change at the 5000km interval. some kiasu riders will change the spark plugs n coolant when they hit the 5000km but its not necessary. subject to individual preference.
