That’s the reality exactly. I just want to give props to anyone that left that start line. I think by posting my struggle I’m also prepping myself for the redemption story. In the end tho I will never be afraid of failure. I am more fearful of not trying at all.

Yeah there has been 100,000 acre fires left and right up here.

Well thank you you’re too kind. The soder I’m not too sure of but I can show you how I soder. I have the heat underneath the wire until the wire is hot enough. Then I put soder on top with heat on bottom and the soder gets sucked down into the wire.

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 I picked some up yesterday and will give it a go.

No actually the Big Red has a completely different motor, clutch, and transmission. I have another video of one I torn down.

Thanks!

Yeah that’s Hondas spec for that bike. Seemed high to me too you’re not the only one

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 is it .28 or .18 for exhaust? Manual says .28mm. Witch is what I measured at. Bike runs horrible and has almost no compression so if .18mm is actually correct then that’s a good thing for me lol

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 you may wanna fix your description so someone doesn’t adjust to .18… everywhere I’ve found is .28 I’m assuming it’s a typo ?

I don’t have anything bad to say about Rotax engines. Not sure if I would own one but opportunity hasn’t risen I guess

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 Like tractor engines...they sound sorta industrial.

Thanks for your comment. Glad she’s back to top notch and ripping again. They really are great mini adventure bikes.

I want to do another video for you guys because I don’t think I can answer your question clearly. The groove of slot on the plunger slides into position in the fuel pump body with a little dowel locator in the body. I will post another video in a few days if you want to hold off for a bit

He explained towards the end where he saw the pin fell out. The small pin aligns with the groove just below it and keeps it in place. Don't tilt the pump and lose that pin or you'll have a bad cylinder. GREAT VIDEO!!! Can't wait for grizzly to do a 4 cylinder with geared rack as well as when the rack is frozen where slide pin doesn't match engine opening. Stuck. There's the side fuel adjust secret 😉

Sweet I’m glad you found that useful. I’ll be having the FZ1 back in the shop next week so let me know if you need a certain video of anything on the bike

I love my bike for the places I get to go on it. Wouldn’t catch me hiking and 4 wheels is just not that fun.

You know I think that same thing sometimes. I’ll get frustrated and something would give me trouble so I take a break, wooo saww, then when I come back I get it right away. It is a mental struggle sometimes. There is a book I have been meaning to read. “Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance” I think it would shine light on this topic.

Can you hear your fuel pump prime when you turn the key on?

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 yes of course

Thanks for your input

You got that right!

Sorry for the late response. I just got back from my week ride in Baja. I can do the work no problem. 408 630 0809. Ashton

First generation FZ1 2001-2005. Second generation was 2006-2015. This here is a 2009 FZ1. Yours is carbureted this generation is fuel injected

Tell it like a story, I like that. Thanks for your input. I don’t say that sarcastically. It takes me awhile to get good at something but once I get it I’m good. Practice makes perfect and listening to constructive criticism.

I'd have to say it was very clearly described if you were a little familiar with the mechanics of the pump and have some understanding of the parts. Great Video. Actually one of the BEST! 😊

Alright! I’m glad to hear that! I find so many videos useful on TH-cam. It feels good to be apart of that community. Your comment gives me inspiration to keep making videos so thank you for your comment.

Lol only one I want thinking of me at night is my honey

I got it from eBay for $185 For YAMAHA FZ1N 2006 - 2015 Fazer Headlight Set Head Turn Signals Light Assembly

Yes unfortunately the owner of the bike went down. It was pretty bad and he got knocked out and doesn’t completely remember the crash. He’s an older gentleman past 50 years old. He recovered and back at it again.

Yeah she does. You found one of my very first videos

Type into google bayou 250 service manual pdf. There is a manual you can buy online for $30

It was the touring style so slightly taller. The FZ1 rider actually went down and I have the bike in for repairs but no windscreen on it. I think he has it at home so I asked him and I’ll get back to you

Great info and thank you for taking the time to give such a good detailed reply. My 2021 model is fairly new to me so I'm trying to get a feel for what to expect from my bike. Mine has 28 hrs on it. I suppose Beta put the hour meter on these at some point because mine has it built into the dash unit. @@grizzlymotomotorsports1029

Haha yep just having a little fun
