My fz1 is usually at 6k rpm while occasionaly going near redline as i usually only do a sport touring pace on it while i do my spirited rides on my much quicker zx10r.

The fz1 is only out of date if ya want rider aids, other than that its just as good as its rivals looks a hell of alot better than its rivals especially the z1000.

The cabot trail is a blast the best road in the maritimes as far as im concerned

Its a seargent seat a minor improvment over stock

I run road2s on my fz1 as i mostly do longer rides on it but when i do push it i never have a problem with them they grip well even with the throttle wide open in the first 2 gears in the corners and im getting good mileage out of them. On my zx10r i run pilot power 2cts i just cant trust a...

I just completed my first long ride on my fz1. I left Nova scotia last wednsday and hopped on the highway and drove through new brunswick and than got on the 132 west up to matane and stayed the night, the next day i stayed on the 132 and went east and went around the loop and back into...

A bit of an update, i only got 4000kms out of the dunlops, the front tire was down to the wear bars on the left side and the right side had a couple mms left, the rear was down to the wear bars all around, i dont know what happened to get so low milege i always kept the air psi at 38 in the...

I was wondering about this too i dont drive in traffic much so i havent seen high temps but on the backroads doing 120kmh plus my fz1 has a temp of 71-75c where my zx10r is usually around 65c and can go into the high 50s on a cold day and also my fz1 warms up from a cold start nearly twice as...

I finished breaking in my fz1 recently but i was bringing it up to 5k rpm during that time probably go a little higher now, my other bike is a zx10r and i usually shift at 6k rpm during casual riding and 9k-redline during spirited riding, p.s revving sportbikes/sport tourers near redline...

I put 300 kms on my fz1 today and completed the break in process as soon as i came home i did an oil and filter change dam that oil filter is hard to get at, now its time to see what she can do.

My donlop sportmaxs after the first thousand kilometers still getting familiar with the bike so i cant lean over as far as i want
