Really cheap to adopt a replacement.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Even though I am not here much any more and have not had an FZ1 for 2 years (I can't believe it has been that long) this place still feels like home. What a great group of people!

I had that cursed idle issue. From everything I have read we will have that issue every so often. Was a combination of three things. Stepper motor being gummed up (they do not lube the shaft at the factory), throttle bodies way out of sync and fouled spark plugs. Never would have guessed I...

Knobbier tires would help but not enough! :) According to my invoice the Ohlins is a TTX36 but I am not sure that is right because I only see a piggyback and inline option for that model number. Has to be the TR120. The following is what I will do to the front at the end of the year...

Happy happy birthday Pete!

Went for a 3 day 480 mile DS ride known as the East Texas 450. Everything started out great. The areas where you were normally plagued by deep sand were packed down from recent rain. The red clay made it hard to see where ruts for but simply made things a bit more exciting. I ended up...

You definitely want ABS turned off on gravel. It will take 3 times as long to stop with it on. Since it looked like you ran off in a turn I thought maybe ABS was ON and you were not able to slow down enough to make the turn.

Are you turning ABS off when off-roading?

So after receiving the replacement tank I realized the previous fitment problem was my own. I had read everywhere that the tank fits just fine with radiator guards installed. This go around I realized the tank was butting up against the left hand radiator guard. So I had to cut the guard and...

I just made things more complicated. It is now a 4 way tie. lol

Installed some iRC lowering links on my wife's CBR 250r. Should make her feel much more comfortable when we continue her training in the next few weeks. It is finally cooling off enough for her. New compared to OEM so that you can see the crafting difference. Also installed an adjustable...

I used TechSpec and never had an issue. One of the others here used Stomp Grip and had to replace it periodically.

Finally sorted out. I had several issues all affecting each other which is why I was having issues diagnosing myself. 1.) Spark plugs were black with gunk - replaced 2.) Stepper motor shaft for electronic idle is not lubed from the factory. Over time with dust it starts having trouble...

My rear is happy. Front will be by the end of the year.

08 no hesitation. Better color too! Sorry Billy & Eric! ;)

Ordered an Ohlins rear for the Tiger. Hoping to get the new Ohlins adventure cartridges at the end of the year.

Need to get it in the shop. Now my check engine light is on all the time. I need some proper diagnostics. :)

Seriously? Who cares?

Having issues with my Tiger. It will not idle. Went for a 200 mile ride and towards the end it just would not idle. I have had it taken apart for two weeks trying to figure out what is going on. Chasing down every internet lead I find but nothing has worked. I am just going to have to cave...

Close race this month!
