You could try lowering the shift lever. May not be moving the lever far enough with your foot.

First ride: BMW S1000R review - Road Tests: First Rides - Visordown

Sounds like BMW nailed it ! Just wish it had some wind protection :( Maybe they will follow it with a version with a windscreen. Like Yamaha with the the FZ1s And N .

Double check the free play at the lever. Sometimes its the simple stuff.

I'd probably put them in the same order they came out with the old clutch. Did you soak the fiber plates in oil before installation ? ( you should ) Does the service manual have a measurement for total stack height ? If so measure the stack and be sure it's within spec.

Happy Birthday !:D

Happy to hear things worked out ok for you :)

I'd start researching local lawyers that specialize in " lemon law " they will know the rules and regulations regarding discloser. I'd also print off, copy and save any advertisements that dealer had representing that bike as " new " before those advertisements are no longer available ...

One of the few criticisms of the FZ09 has been the REAL soft suspension. So in stock form it won't be good at all with a passenger.

:welcome: Think you'll find a decent bunch of guys and gals here and plenty of informative reading. The forums a little slow now with the colder weather and holiday season upon us. Just about any FZ1 related topic has been covered 10x already so make use of the search feature and your...

Try using the search feature with terms like buffeting, windscreen, wind screen, wind noise and brand names. You should find plenty of good reading. Here's one to get you started. http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-mods/13422-wind-screen-comparison-thread.html

Some of the guys that were data logging the air fuel ratio noted that the FZ1 ECU over compensates and makes the bike run rich in cooler weather. That MAY explain the slight loss in mileage and rich exhaust smell. Nothing to worry about, just Yamaha playing it safe and staying on the rich...

Concerning the valves, 2006-2007 owners may want to pay extra attention about maintenance and not go over the 26,000 mile mark. Personally I'd have them checked early. Some 2006-2007 models have had rapid valve stem wear. Yamaha changed the valves for 2008 and up because of the stem wear. The...

Really hard to say, it depends on a number of factors. ( Riding in rain, storing the bike outside, lack of lubrication and so on ) Check for fraying at both ends and see if its stretched to the point your using more than 60% of available adjustment.

Yep, probably some junk collecting on the exhaust, I've seen a few people mention muck,leaves collecting under the stock exhaust. Agree that it's unlikely your smelling a burnt valve

HAVE THEM INSPECT AND TEST THE COILS ( THEY TEND TO FAIL ) GOOD TIME TO HAVE A THROTTLE BODY SYNC DONE ( TANK ALREADY OFF ) CLUTCH CABLE IN GOOD SHAPE OR STRETCHED ? ( again the tank is off so good time to replace ) GOOD TIME FOR A COOLANT CHANGE . IF YOUR HAVING COLD START ISSUES HAVE THEM...

My expensive CRG levers have the same issue , time to bust out the file :)

:woot::woot::woot::woot::D:D

Honey I'd sell the bike but the market is flooded with used FZ1's. They are worth so little were better off keeping it. I know I'll get the itch to buy another bike in the future and this one is paid for. I'd hate to sell it for $3500 then turn around and buy a new bike for $10,000 in a year or...

I'm really just spouting off at the mouth about my " idea " of the perfect bike. Truth is for now the FZ1 hits enough of the right buttons to keep me happy. I'll do the Ivan flash over the winter and take her a step closer to what I'm looking for. Doubt the Tuono or BMW will have...
