The Bike should be fine. The drive belt will last at least until 100,000. You are coming up on a valve clearance check and repacking bearings at 16,000 but you're fine for now. Bring rain gear if you're traveling in areas where it could rain. I also like to bring a pair of light...

Your garage looks like mine now: A Gen 1 FZ1 A V Star 1300 Tourer Check out Ultimate Seats for a replacement seat. They even have a nice rider backrest option. I looked at several brands and got the Ultimate. The pullback on the 2007-2009 is not as far as most people like. Take a...

I have these and love them: NoNoise Motorsport Noise Filter Hearing Protection - TwistedThrottle.com They block the wind noise but you can still hear your engine and have a conversation at lights.

This really helped smooth out the low rpm surging I was getting on my 1300 Tourer. Also: - When making changes - always go beyond the point you want to stop at on the pot and then come back to it. - After making any changes to the pots - disconnect the battery connection for about...

Normally this device is sold for use on Crusier type bikes and some others. I have one on my Yamaha 1300 Tourer. It is an inexpensive and easy to change device to manage your fuel system. Here are the directions from the 1300 Tourer website on how to set the pots to try to optimize your bike...

I saw one yesterday at Ephrata PA I was at the First Sunday Of the Month Breakfast at the VFW and I saw a Liquid Silver Gen1. It was bone stock. I looked around but didn't see the owner. I was wondering if the owner was on this forum.

I have used Goof Off and a hair dryer with great success on all my bike stickers.

When I bought the bike it came with the Givi V46 pod. I laughed and said that I'd never use it and bought the Cortech tail bag and it fit perfectly on the mounting plate. I use it for typical day rides. I have taken the pod on several long day trips and I was glad to have the extra space.

Give them about a week The "like Looking out of a Fishbowl" effect takes about a week to get used to. Just don't turn your head real fast the first few days or you will get dizzy. After that they were fine. I can't use them to watch TV because I lean back and then I'm looking out of the...

I had the exact same problem with one of the values I purchased from the same person. I replaced it with a regular one and all is fine. I don't know if this was a fluke or the beginning of a pattern. Unfortunately I have several others installed. I guess I'll watch them and replace them as...

I'm getting the Back Off Wig Wag this weekend for my 03 FZ1. I'm curious how your installation is going. Any tips? It sounds like the brake light wires are embedded in the tail pieces.
