Too bad about changing color as everyone knows Black is Fastest!!!!!

One of the reasons to get a slip on and Ipod......clunking....what clunking and clanking

Going with Prostreet DID chain (x ring) and Renthal sprockets. And yes Mike's pricing is great offered fantastic discount as I am on this fourm.

Besides my truck and wifes Jeep here is my favorite out of season pass time. Next year the Nytro will be getting a Push 198hp turbo kit on it.....fun fun fun

I am slacking and have not ordered but I am going to call Mike at Riders Discount and go with a 16/45. I luv the 15/47 but as I drive so much highway miles leaning to bringing the rev's down a bit.

Now that the sled is parked for winter time to focus on bike, last fall I noticed when lubing chain a rubber o-ring on the floor so time for a new chain. I have been running a 15/47 combination but thinking of maybe going to 15 /44 combo as I ride about a 100km per day with 80% being highway...

Crap yes per year....lol $ 2000 per month and I might actually have to think about selling it.

I have stock, mid and tall. Here are pics of stock and tall. Use stock during hot summer weather and tall in spring and late fall.

You are complaining come move to Friendly Manitoba, 2001 FZ1 with my fantastic driving record is $ 400.00 (sorry not 2000.00) per month. And to add salt to the wound they bill this over 5 months (riding season) with the only other option being paying out in full. My snowmobile is $ 700. I am...

Mine was knocked over on a parking lot and did $ 1400.00 damage on insurance. Bent bars, repaint fairing, brake lever, yoshi slip, decals....adds up pretty fast. On this bike I would have to ask why is it not fixed, surrely if you spent 11g's you would have taken insurance. something does...

My Gen 1 which now has 49,000km uses about a quart in 5000 km. Now this being said I fill it to top of sight glass to stop the oil light from coming on, it seems to work its way down to mid point were it stays. Could probably go 5000 km with almost no oil if I could put up with the red oil...

Mine does same thing, keep it to top of sight glass and no problems. It is a common Gen 1 problem.

Nice Pic, here is one from Revelstoke

I actually do the same thing only drain the float bowls, easy and only takes a couple of minutes that way you are sure no fuel in carbs. Some winters I just start and run every few weeks and do not bother draining the carbs. Bike is in a heated garage so not a problem, usually start when I am...

I am still riding now with morning temp's in the -3 to 5 C range, could not do it without the heated grips. I use heater in combination with my Klim snowmobile gloves all good. In comparision to sleding were it is -25 hands are toasty. Also on the poll everyone forgot about the best accessory...

Remove seat, then side covers. Then the Allen key bolt from front of tank. Tilt up and remove the fuel line and 2 vent hoses. The remove rear mounting bracket and lift of tank. Air cleaner remove the cover and your done. Actually very easy on this bike.

Thanks that is what I am thinking probably one of those lines as I just recently had a valve check done.

Bought mine last year though Parts Shark, was am OEM Yamaha cable for the FZ1. We are talking if memory serves me correct like 30 buck range, was cheap enough that I just went with OEM

Just looking for some input as I am lost on finding the problem. The last couple of mornings riding in to work I have a small antifreeze leak, enough to make steam on the motor as well as a few drops along the side panel behind the carbs. This only seems to happen on the highway and lookes...

I too am 49 and have been riding since 16 and have to say my FZ1 is hands down the best all around bike I have owned. Sure I have been tempted after riding a couple of Ducati's and new BMW's but as soon as I get back on my bike those thoughts quickly fade away. I have mine geared down so you...
