Well good news actually. I found that I only stripped out about a little more than a quarter inch of the threads due to the short plug i was using. I had bought a plug that had a magnet in it which worked well except that it was less than half the length of the oem plug. So i just put my oem...

So I'm not the only one? Hi, I think i've buggered my pan too. I tightened it up pretty good. Then found i'd put too much oil in so i unscrewed the plug, let some drain, and then put the plug back in except this time it never got to a stopping point so to speak. it is finger tight but when...

Hey thanks. Good to know and if I can't find someone who will part with their link for free or cheaper I'll buy that one on ebay.

Soupy's Soupy's is soupy BEWARE Bad Lowering Link - FZ1OA Message Board

good question! I don't know. I'll see what kind of reply's I get from the classifieds section. Guess I should have stated it was a GEN II. Thanks though. If I can find out if it fits I'll get back with you. Cheers!

YES for sure. My first thought was WTF! Then right after that I was thanking God cause that could have gone way worse. Like if I had the front wheel off the ground!

Dude. Fantastic. I'll PM you my address. What do you want for it? Are there any other little bits that I'll need besides the arm itself? Like the oil seals bearings etc?

Still got that OEM link? Hey TimeBombAZ do you still have your oem link? I'm trying to find one. I had an adjustable link and it went to crap on me. BEWARE Bad Lowering Link - FZ1OA Message Board

Looking for an OEM dogbone. The manual calls it the Arm. SKU: 2D1-2217M-00-00 ARM 1 Hoping some of you may have one laying around if you've lowered your rear end. Check out what happened with my adjustable link: BEWARE Bad Lowering Link - FZ1OA Message Board

wow. ok so maybe the tire was skipping. I'm really surprised. I would have thought that i'd have the tail want to lift on me before the front tire would skip. Is this a problem with my fork setup or am just breaking harder than I thought and lucky i didn't flip it?

Abs? Hi I have a 2009 FZ1 and on a couple of occasions when i've done hard breaking the brakes did this catching thing. I don't really know how to describe it in type but the only thing I could think of when i first experienced it was that it was ABS. So I called the Yamaha dealer and...

Ok, I just got this 09 FZ1 couple weeks ago and i pulled the front fairings off to fix the buz and decided i'd go ahead and take a look under the tank while i was at it. I found out that one of the previous owners did the air box mod and bmc filter. Thats nice, i don't have to do it now...

I'm on a 09 FZ1 Gen2, bought it used couple weeks ago. Far as I can tell its stock sprockets and chain. If i go to the 16T in the front do i need a new chain or can i run the stock chain on it with out cutting it or whatever. Thanks.

Do you still have em? do they fit on a GenII ?
