Lovin it! I have been looking at the gen 1, gen 2, and the new V4 Tuonos since before I got my FZ1. When I sat on a V4 at my nearest dealer it did seem pretty tight for me as well as some of you others have said, but so was my Ya mama and adjustable rear sets fixed that problem right up so I'm...

if youre thinking youre too big for the fz1 and want a cruiser get yourself a triumph rocket, its a big ol 2300 150 hp 150 tq powerhouse you wont miss the power of the fz too bad, though it is a few hundred lbs heavier you may miss the easy handling. that's my other ride and the newer ones have...

I've somewhat recently found out those tar snakes not only get slippery when wet but also when it's really hot out. The only time my back end had ever gotten squirrelly is on somewhat older tires in 110+ degree weather on some good twisties. Real pucker moment when your tires slide at 70 mph...

This isn't a bad idea if you're really concerned. It won't hurt and we can give additional opinions if it sounds normal. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I read that seafoam is good but its old tech and there are better alternatives. I currently have a can of seafoam and some techron additive I was recommended. I also read a list by the Fcc I think it was and they had a ton of additives that actually damage engine part so be careful what you use...

You would think so. I mindlessly left them in when I got the new tires at cycle gear and they cant find it and I looked in my garage and car. I just ordered a new one from bikebandit.com. I'm a little bummed cause I was going to try out the new tires around lake Tahoe this weekend and it most...

I found the second one for the front under a seat in my car. Now I'm missing one for the rear. I'm going to call cyclegear to see if they have it if not I'm going to order a new one. Thanks for the help guys. I did learn a bunch I'll post some pictures when it's done on a new topic so I can...

I'm working on it now and it will fit in the hole in the wheel But the axle won't slide through it is to thick. The front installed just fine and no wobbles when I check it. I understand the point of a spacer but there isn't anywhere I can put this without it getting in the way of the axle. I'm...

Awesome. Thanks for the website that's much easier to follow than the Yamaha service manual. That arrow helps a ton diagrams only get me so far I'm not the best mechanic. I'll do that once I get home. Tony Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I just got new tires and am trying to reinstall them and have an extra part.. I think it came from the rear but I can't see where it will fit. Would any of you know where it goes? Next time I'll be taking lots if pictures. Youtube and the Yamaha service manual don't help. Also searching here I...

Here's mine in the first then a friend's in the second Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Wow. Freaking wow do those barrels spin when you drive? Bike looks great. Oh and I've got a first gen and have noticed a bit of a flat spot maybe in the same range, not enough to bother me much.. Yet.. but I have noticed maybe a jet kit is in our future. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Very cool I've never seen one in those colors Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Wow cork now that is a great idea I'll have to try it. sometimes it seems the best ideas are the most obvious ones out I should say should be obvious ones. I wouldn't have thought of that. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

My personal best for a gen 1. OK I cheated. On this ride I was way up in the Tahoe mountains and the light came on at about 170. I was so nervous I coasted down either in neutral or with the motor completely off for almost the rest of that. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
