Icon Airmada Helmet - Solid. I bought an Airmada Gloss Solid back in January after my old Arai Quantum II finally bit the dust. Coming from a near $6. The fit: I have a bit of a wide oval shaped head so this helmet is tough to get on, but once you get in there it has a surprising amount of room on the inside. Cheek pads are snug but that's fine with me. Unlike my old Arai which had a tendency to move around on my head at triple digit speeds, the Airmada stays firmly planted. Noise level: Loud. This baby howls and sings to you at speed, the venting on the inside of the chin- bar doesn't really do anything to help this and once you get into the triple digits this thing makes a hellish racket from the side pods. I normally ride with earplugs in though so this isn't even noticeable. Weight: It's lite, not AGV Pista GP lite, but still lite. Gotta love it. Vision: Nice and wide viewing angle, good height of the shield too. No complaints here. As for features, what really drew me to this helmet was the small vent just above the face shield. I've had this feature on helmets in the past and I can't imagine living without it. The way it eliminates fog is just spectacular. Aesthetically, Kawasaki made great strides for the metric cruiser market. The first thing that stands out about the 2000 is the smooth integration of the headlamp. I purchased an iridium silver shield and second set of side pods to go along with the supplied clear shield and after about two tries of practice, shield changes are a breeze.

New tyres and new disks on the front, and some new handlebar grips. It has done a couple of thousand miles, although my better half probably uses it more than me (quicker and better handling than her GPZ5. All the best Keith. MG onwards please confirm the wiring detail for the ignition. There is FZ7. 00's wiring diagram presented and it should be the same as for 2xx FZ7. Tommi. 1. 3/0. 2/2. Re: 2mg wiring problem. Hi 2. MG is so diferent from others. Most of them use only 5 electrodes. The 5 of Or,Gy,Bk/W,R/W,Bk may be that you said though colors are different from others. In 3. GM or 3. KS's case, the remainder must be connected to earth to ditect some conditions. If it is mine, I would try to connect to the earth but no warranty. See also http: //d- suzume. I visited RD/RZ web site (www. Tokico calipers to RD/RZs. See: http: //www. Just wondering if those same adapter plates fit on FZ also? I don't know the differences between FZ and RD/RZ brake system but maybe some of you knows? You may well be right there Tommi, We need the dimensions so i can measure them up. Kev. 1. 6/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Tom cant get that thread up, link doesnt seem to work. Here's copy& paste from the RD forum: ********** . Large spacing ones are found on RGV's and GSXR's. They are made out of Billet Alloy and look absolutly ace. Small spacing ones are . Plates seem to be quite pricy. Tommi. 1. 6/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Hi New to the FZ sites and still a little surprised to find what's out on the net concerning FZ7. Anyway, back to calipers - I couldn't get anywhere with the link either so I logged on to the RD forum. One of the guys has started a business around mods for LC's and has his own site - NK Racing. Mail him at nigel@nkracing. I think this is different to the pictures posted on this forum but they are reasonably priced at . He lists plates for FZR6. Tokico 4pot calipers and will take orders for one- off's. Chris. 1. 6/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. If you can access the RD forum you may find the thread I was referring in For Sale section. The topic is: NISSIN/TOKICO BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING PLATES(Picture now on) the author is Simon. Chris, thanks for the info! Tommi. 1. 8/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. I contacted both Nigel(NK- racing) and Simon and asked about the dimensions for the brackets and if they know if those fit also on FZ. Nigel said that one of us (Kev, is that you?) has already contacted him with this same matter and they agreed that Nigel can borrow a FZ front end in order to test the brackets. Simon said that he is quite sure his brackets that are made for YPVS RD fit also the earlier FZs. He said that the calipers spacings are the same. To make sure he asked me to measure from centre to centre the bolt holes of the fork legs so he can say if they will fit. I will measure this next weekend unless some of you tell me the figure earlier. Tommi. 1. 8/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Tommi I spoke to Nigel at NK Racing yesterday. Apparently (he would name no names!)it is he who makes the adapters that Simon sells too, but Simon adds on a bit for himself! Nigel would need a complete front end plus the calipers that need to go on, and it would be . He is based in Leicester. He recommended the calipers from GSX6. Perhaps the brackets for the FZ would be the same as those for RD5. LC - they had the 1. If several of us were interested it would be cheaper. Chris. 1. 9/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Chris Currently I am just planning what would be needed to replace the original calipers (I don't yet have new calipers). Brackets are one thing and that's why I am looking if there already exist good quality, nice looking and reasonably priced brackets that would fit on FZ. Chris could you have a opportunity to do that test if it is ok for Nigel? Tommi. 1. 9/0. 2/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Tommi I'll measure up the forklegs and speak to Nigel again in the next couple of days. Not sure what calipers to use myself - Kev uses Nissins from GSXR or Blade and they are the same to fit as Tokico apparently - I'd be happy to go with his recommendation anyway. Not sure when I'd be able to get to Leicester either, although I know I'm just a bit closer than you! I think Kev might be interested in calipers too - I mailed him with info about his wiring problem and mentioned the brackets then. More news when I get it Chris. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Tommi, where are we up to with this im very interested in these brackets esp if i can keep the nissin cvalipers (i prefer them to the tokico ones). I cant get in touch with this guy the link does not work and i cant find the post on this forum. Kev. 0. 3/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Some progress has happened! Chris has contacted Nigel (NK Racing, http: //www. I have contacted Simon (kathrine. They both sell caliper brackets for RD and we have now tried to figure out if those RD brackets would fit on early FZ (1. I have taken a picture of my front fork and measured some dimensions of it. I sent it to Simon and Chris sent it to Nigel. We asked what they think; would those RD brackets fit on FZ. Simon answered me and he was very positive that the RD (YPVS RD) brackets should fit on FZ. I have now asked Simon that would it be possible if some FZ owner in UK could borrow the brackets and test their suitability, so we can be 1. Simon hasn't yet answered this. Chris has spoken to Nigel and they have discussed this same matter. Chris has told that he may have a possibility to send his front fork to Nigel by the end of this month, so that Nigel can test if the brackets fit or not. Chris, can you comment what is the current status from your side? Tommi. 0. 4/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Ok. Did you say what size disks the brackets are desgned to fit? Kev. 0. 4/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. RD3. 50(YPVS)/5. 00. LC uses the same size disc as 1. Tommi. 0. 4/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Nigel from NK is still on holiday and I haven't been able to find out if FZ forks, or lower legs at least,are the same as RD3. YPVS2/5. 00. LC. It looks like we may all be using different discs and wheels though, and need different brackets. Tommi has standard front end, I will have standard forks plus FZR 1. I was going to change brakes on both FZ's I have but I'm going to sell one as it is i. As soon as I have any info I'll post it - if RD and FZ forks are the same, then Tommi may as well buy the brackets already made up by Nigel or Simon - once you've decided on calipers. Kev - Nigel says Nissin and Tokico are made in same factory and have same dimensions. Did you sort your wiring problem? Chris. 0. 5/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. Ive got FZR1. 00. I got a FZR6 front somewhere tho. Not had a chance to fix it yet, tho i checked again Noud's and Tommis pictures and bother their bikes are wired the same, so im just gonna wire it like that and see what happens. Ive had carburation problems with my Guzzi, which has taken up some time, I got a horrbile shitefull little scooter in for work, yuk. I just wanna Fix my FZ!!! Kev. 1. 0/0. 3/2. Re: Brake caliper adapter plates. I got some valuable information from Rich (thanks Rich!), he said: . Tommi. 2. 0/0. 2/2. Interesting stuff at Ebat. Bay. ISAPI. dll? View. Item& item=2. Could someone translate that in english? Seems that there is tail riser for FZ. Tommi. 2. 5/0. 2/2. A quick question. Are the engines 2mg and 2kk the same? Lars. 2. 6/0. 2/2. Re: 2mg vs. 2kk. I would say they are the same but I am not 1. If I have understood correctly, 2kk was sold in Germany and 2mg in other countries in Europe. The power reduction was made by modifying other parts(carburator, exhaust) than engine, I think. Are you looking for a spare engine Lars? Tommi. 2. 5/0. 2/2. Gotta Sell my 8. 6 fz. Only 8. 60. 0 original miles. Has a mayer full faring, seat cowel and the original quarter farings go with it. Over all in great shape and runs like a new bike. If interested, I'm in Washington state. Regretfully Dan. 0. Which plastic type? It would help ( I will try chemical welding) if I knew which plastic type those parts have been made of. Does someone know that? My guess is that it is ABS plastic but it may also be something else. The type of the plastic should have been marked some place on the backside of the plastic piece but since my FZ is repainted I am not able to check that myself. Tommi. 1. 1/0. 3/2. Re: Which plastic type? Kevin Foote has written a part about repairing it. Can be found either on fz. Sean's site. Read a post on a Dutch site a few days ago about using some chemical that dissolves the plastic and which can be used to 'weld' any cracks. I'll see if I can find & translate it. Cheers, Dutch. 1. Re: Which plastic type? The Kev's text may be the one which is named Plastic repair on Sean's site but unfortunately the site is currently almost out of use so I can't read it. Yes, the chemical which dissolves ABS is acetone which is luckily very cheap. Tommi. 1. 9/0. 3/2. Re: Which plastic type? Don't know the substance, the guy in question mentioned you could get very high if not used in a well ventilated space : -D. Re: Which plastic type? I put very small fairing pieces in a jar and poured some acetone there. I noticed that those fairing pieces started almost immediately to soften. After about one hour it has turned to be like . I concluded that this stuff could be used to .
