Check the sidewall on the tire for max pressure and go close to that. ( probably 42-44psi ) Contact the tire company if in doubt.

They are taking the...... whats the cheapest way we can get out of our liability without getting sued approach ! The lawyers did the math and here we are !

The " right thing " would have been a recall years ago :) !!!!! The frames should be stocked and ready to go !!!! Yamaha knows they have an issue ! They should be in the USA and ready to distribute. I've had fishing equipment and motorcycle parts shipped from Japan in less than 10...

You're going to want to run a bit more tire pressure with a passenger as compared to solo and find a good suspension setting with the extra weight. The extra weight will put more heat in the tire. Higher pressure will help them run a bit cooler. When both of you are ready make SURE to...

Great race ! Bummer about the engine development freeze. Marquez on that Honda had such a clear power advantage with Lorenzo making a valiant effort, beating him on the brakes then losing out to the power, over and over until Marques finally made it stick . Best rider on the best bike, indeed...

Wow ! two possibly more months to fix :banghead: Totally unacceptable , they would lose me as a customer for LIFE if that happened to me. That and I'd go out of my way to let everyone know how I was treated.

I agree that with all the time and money invested in my FZ1 even if Yamaha came out with my dream bike I'd still wait 2-3 years to buy. That and I'd like to avoid any possible issues with a new model. Look at the 2006-2007 FZ1's as examples. Cracked frames, bad valve stems , horrible fueling...

Have not heard a peep concerning a 2015 FZ1. Personally I'd love to see a 1050-1200cc triple along the lines of the FZ09 but with a half fairing like the current FZ1. A lighter bike with a sweet triple, gobs of torque and at least 140hp at the wheel and I'll be a happy guy. I'd also like to see...

Great advice so far, I'll repeat that the passenger needs to wait for the signal to mount and dismount the bike. You also NEED to practice panic/emergency stops with a passenger. Its MUCH different with a passenger.

Kind of hard to tell from the pics but I's say the generator cover is leaking,,,, maybe at one of those bottom bolts. I'd clean it up and re-torque all the bolts on the cover and see what happens. Sometimes a gasket shrinks or a fastener comes a bit loose with time. Try tightening ( gently...

Good to hear you're OK ! Friggin deer, I just missed one yesterday in my truck !

The price is a bit steep, but also thousands in mods, if they are appealing mods its worth considering. Even if they are not you can sell what you dont care for. ( he has all the factory parts ) Those bags , full exhaust and pcv alone probably add up to $2500-$3000 ( new ) . Doubt the bike...

Ivans flash changes the ignition timing and opening rate of the secondary butterflies , among other things. The fueling has to match those changes and that is done with the power commander. Opening the flies at different times and rates will change airflow to the engine. Change the air and...

The ign module did not help my hot seat issue at all, bike does run a little cooler, maybe 10F. Your better off trying to insulate the under seat/tank area for the hot seat issue. No noticeable increase in mileage ( but I don't record mileage ) Doubt you're going to see more than a 2 or 3...

Considering your so close to Ivan and like his past work, I'd really consider his flash and the power commander. If budget is the issue you could always get the PCV now and add the flash later. I've come to value the opinions of a few guys on the forums after a few years you get an idea of...

I'll also add anecdotal member feedback on the two forums seems 99% positive for Ivans flash and in the neighborhood of 70% positive for the other places.

LOL, no I don't have sales data............. but members posting on this and the other forum stating they have a flash from Ivan out number the others by a vast amount. I'd say at least 8 to 1. So I'll correct my statement . Ivan's flash appears to be the most popular on the two FZ1 forums I...

Ivans flash requires a power commander. Some of the less popular flashes from other places do not require a power commander.

Good advice, The flash from Ivan will do everything the ignition module would and MUCH more. I'm not sure of pricing but doubt it's to much more than the ignition module alone.
