2003 Yamaha FZ1 - 140k miles - Salvage Title due to dent in the tank from a car knocking it off the center stand in a parking garage. This has been a great bike for me and I hope it will continue to be a great bike for you. One of my photos is a list of maintenance records...
I have 139,000 miles on my Gen 1 - so it is very possible my gas gauge is having a problem.
For the first time ever I ran out of gas - but the Gauge said I was at 1/8 of a tank and the light did not come on.
My wife rescued me as I was on the freeway a few miles from home. Unfortunately she...
Ignore the goofy splash screen, this is an incredible watch and an incredible story. Highly recommended viewing.
I already loved watching these 2 in everything they do... this story just endeared me to them even more... just WOW.
Testing Season has started in preparation for the 2025 racing calendar. What are you hoping to see?
For me I want to see a return to a variety of Manufacturers and Riders winning races.
Jorge on the Aprilla means we will see it on the podium more often.
Yamaha seemed to make improvements all...
So on my commute home my GoPro filled up and stopped recording about 1 mile from where this incident happened which is a bummer cause it would have been crazy footage.
As I am sure many of you do - I do my best to be a good citizen when riding and notify drivers if something is hanging off...
looks like we have a few new members who follow the sport so perhaps we bring back this annual thread? Looks like we missed a few years.
I am pretty dang excited for COTA this weekend. I really want Rins to win it like he did last year - but Marc is going to be hard to beat now that he is...
To me the MT-10 is the third Generation of the FZ1, street fighter with a de-tuned R1 motor.
Lego announced they are making a Technic version of it and it looks amazing.
Hi there, I moderate on mtbr.com and would be happy to help out a bit on this site if you need more mods. I am familiar with this forums reporting and moderation system.
Happened to me yesterday on my way to work on my FZ1. Never seen anything like this in my life.
The thread looking stuff is the inside of the tire blown outward, this was after getting the tire off the bike:
Video of the event:
I recorded this back in April, but finally had time to edit it and upload it to the toobs.
This rider is the perfect example of why riders can be their own worst enemies. Not sure why he decided to flop over to the shoulder, rip on the gas and cut back into traffic....
I see this sort of...
Over the last year I noticed my rear brake was becoming "soft". what I mean by that is I had to push the brake pedal all the way down for full engagement. I thought maybe I needed to flush the fluid out, so I did that.
I am pretty sure I bled all the air our of the bleed nipples, but the end...
This is a great article about an impressive achievement:

You may recall in the Awesome series "long way round", Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman road GS1300's...
I noticed a small leak that traced back to my thermostat housing and the seal between it and the plastic part the connects the radiator cap to the cooling system. I pulled it apart of the weekend and did not see anything glaring about it. I was surprized that it is just a rubber o-ring style...
If I recall correctly I had to pull my radiator off to get my plugs changed last time I did it.
It is time again and I am considering just having the shop do it cause I recall it being a pain..... am I remembering this correctly?
I just did the plugs on my V-Star and it was a 10 min job.....
So, with all the craziness this last year we forgot to start a 2020 MotoGP Discussion thread.
Maybe we can get one going for 2021 and recap any thoughts we had on 2020?
First, Marc Marquez.
His need to win at all costs finally bit him, and it bit him hard. His display of ability to race...
Another forum where I am a moderator just changed over to the same platform at 998cc.org and because I moderator over there I have been digging in deeper to learn more about the software. The previous version of that other site (mtbr.com) had a reputation system that was important to a number of...
So I feel sorta dumb, but also not dumb.
Lemme Explain.
a month ago or so I noticed one of my tail lights was burnt out (not bad considering I have 120k miles on the bike) so I pulled it out and took it to my local shop. I handed the parts guy the bulb and asked for 2 new ones.
He brought...
