Just came back from about a 150 mile ride and about half-way thru noticed an ever so slight shudder / stutter when I'm starting to accelerate. It's just a second or two and then it revs freely and smoothly. This stutter only occurs under load and and revs perfectly all the way up to redline...

Just put them on and they work great. After searching a multitude of posts I chose them over the ProGel grips since a few said they were a little thicker, plus I have a pair of the mtn bike version on my mtn bike and liked them. I cut off the old ones as I could not pry off the left side due...

Everything went smooth for my first oil change. Went w/Mob-1 10-40W 4T and Walmart supertech 7317. I have the lower fairing so I had to remove a few bolts to get at the filter and 17mm drain plug. Couldn't tell if crush washer was good or bad so left it on there. Used the new 'plier type'...

Just want to make sure all is ok. My new '05 has 9700 miles. I started it and let it warm up and about 2 min later the radiator fan came on. Didn't think anything of it. Went down the road about 2 miles and saw the coolant light was on, then it went off and never came on again. Anything I...

Has anyone tried both? I've still got the stock ones and am wondering which is the better way to go.

Any tips for one person to get center stand down? Where do you put left and right hand etc? I've tried 3x and can't get it to work. I'm on my garage floor and it just keeps sliding. Tried concrete drive and still no luck. Am I not pushing hard enough?

Just noticed that I am missing the rubber insert that is on the inside of the left passenger foot rest frame work. I can't figure out what the purpose of this is. Do I need it?

I have a headlight modulator that I used with my Roadstar. It plugged into the light and into the existing harness and pulsed the high beam in the day light. It really gets you noticed in traffic. I'd like to use it on my new '05 but since there are two lights I'm not sure which harness / bulb...

Just picked up my 05 with 9500 miles, mint condition, adult owned. The bike runs great and I can't wait to start getting to know it. The only thing it's missing is the owners manual - I hope I can find it here somewhere. BTW, how do you get the seat off:embarrased: It has the lower fairing...

Looking at an '05 w/9k and plugs haven't been changed yet. Runs great but I see Yami recommends changing at 8k. Is it ok to wait a bit? Pat's how-to's says the easiest way is to remove radiator rather than going in through the top w/all the socket conncetions. I'm not a wrench but this looks...

I've found an 04 out of town that has low miles but apparently sat unridden for a long period. Seller says it starts and runs great w/choke on but dies the minute choke is turned off. I'm willing to drive and make an offer but wouldn't want to get home and find lots of other probs. He's an...

Finally got to ride an 03 (Black & Yellow). It was nice, - shifted well, handled well, (it had motocross bars that felt very comfortable), had an aftermarket exhaust (D&P??) that sounded good but not too loud. Also has new tires. My only concern is it has 18k miles. The guy has had it...

Interested in the FZ1-Gen1. Have tried an FZ6, it was nice, but just not enough power down low. Anybody out there with a Gen1 in the south east, preferably Chattanooga area that would allow a short ride? I think it's the bike for me but I think I'd know in just 5min in the saddle. BTW, I'm...

I'm coming off an 05 Yammie RoadStar 1700. It was a great bike but I'm tired of the bulk of the cruiser and want something lighter and more nimble, with some torque / HP down in lower RPM's, and also so you don't have to go above 10k rpms to get any usable power. I want to stay w/ the Yamaha...
