Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted October 18, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2013 The FZ1 fuseblock is a 30 amp electrical distribution box. You can run 6 constant or 6 switched circuits that are fused inside the box. However, like any other circuit there should be a main fuse in-line to protect if the relay shorts or anything else. What you have circled is the 30 amp main fuse between the battery and the FZ1 block. You can install the fuse closer to the battery if you want, this was just a convenient place I found to install it. Red is battery +, black is battery -, and yellow is the trigger wire for the relay ran to the OE switched power port under the left hand mid fairing.

Yeah I installed one last night. the same fuse block with their installation kit. Just had a different line fuse hence the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an outstanding unit Charles, I really like them for the size and also having the relay built in. I made my own main harness so I could custom fit it like I wanted and use a waterproof main fuse holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted January 30, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 30, 2014 Getting a little servicing done while the weather is crap. Oil, filter, and rear differential fluid changed. Just got the revised pair plates installed that I got from Justin at powderkeg racing. They fit perfect. I also loaded a new map in the PCV that a fellow member provided after he had some dyno work done. It is a different bike now. Even after installing the PCV she was still a little jerky at low speeds. Now I can almost idle through the parking lot and not get bucked off. The low speed on/off throttle transition is also gone. I can actually hold 30 mph and not feel like I am riding a bull. Now to wash and wax when the weather straightens up a little and she is ready to go.

lshark Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 how much difference do the pair blocking plates make ?? i already have Z bomb, Zfi remap, K&N and Akro and it runs great....is it worth it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted February 2, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 2, 2014 Arrow, I did initially get the plates for the VTR1k but do not order those. Justin did not change the design on them. He is making a kit that has the front plate which has not changed for many years and the 2 back plates that he has revised to fir the 1200. Hopefully he will have it all set up and posted on the site soon. Ishark, The pair mod really does nothing for performance. All it does it keep the system from dumping air into the exhaust. Some people will hear a popping on decel when the pair system is active, depending on which exhaust they are using. Also, if you plan to run an Auto tune module or have the bike custom mapped you will have to block the system. It will also remove a bit of crap from the engine which makes it a tad bit easier when servicing. Other than that, no gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousDave Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The pair system is just there to help oxygenate the catalyst so it can do its job. Some popping on decel is just a side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerousDave Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 And to pass emissions in certain states .. ...by helping the cat do its job. You don't have to have a pair system to pass an emissions test. All that matters is what's coming out the exhaust, although they do generally check for physical presence of a cat if there's supposed to be one there.

I think In Cali they check to see if it's working, mite be wrong but I remember a member writing about the emission nazi's checking the proper operation of it .

Don't know how they do it unless they use some sort exhaust gas analyzer ..It mostly comes down to the exhaust analyzer. They do generally check for physical presence of a catalyst on vehicles so equipped. They may also check for engine diagnostic trouble codes, as well as checking "monitor status" to make sure you didn't recently clear any codes that might throw up a red flag. Beyond that, I don't believe any states check functionality of any emission sub-systems like EGR, or air injection, but rather let the tailpipe sniffer be the final word. I would be very surprised to hear of any states that go beyond that. Although where Cali is concerned, I suppose nothing should surprise me.

I have read some stuff in others sites where guys had swap motors left it off and I guess they know by the serial number of the motor its be change, they left it off and Cali emissions station caught it . Now the fix was to install it and re submit it for emissions testing and as long as it passed you were ok. I think I read you have 3 tries to pass.
