Hi all....:tup:
I've got an '03 FZ1. I want to adjust the axel back, I have several more notches to go, but adjusting bolt won't "unscrew"?:looseit:
WHAT GIVES??? Bike is bone stock, but bought used from salvage dealer.
Thanks for your time:cheers:

If gas milage is important to you....
I would leave the carbs alone!!!:noworries:
I'm getting 43 mpg with my '03 FZ1. I have all of the performance I can use on the street, and great MPG's. It's the best of both worlds. :sport12:

pauls chin spoiler ???
I'm a nooby here, and I recently bought an '03 FZ1. I don't know very much about my Gen I (A Clymers is on the way), and I don't know anything about Gen II's, but pauls "header fairing", sure looks like it might get burned-up, if not on the highways, then certainly in...
I might be out of the "Main Stream" cuz $200.USD is not very afforable to me!

Congrats on the new (to you) scooter! I just joined the FZ1 Ranks this week myself!:sport12: I got a 2003 with 15000 miles on it for 4 grand. It sounds to me like you got a very good deal. I'm not familar with the Gen II's but knowing Yamaha it's an excellent...
EFI is good also!
I havn't owned any carburated vehicles in the last 8 years. For the 1st time since I can't remember when, my hands have smelled of gas lately! The upside is that had it been my fuel injection system that was afflicted, it would still be afflicted, cause I can't fix it!:woot...
My 03 FZ1
I've had it since Tuesday. I'm starting to really like how it feels and performs!:sport12:
The paint is a custom Champange color, with all decals and badges gone.

Thanks for your lengthly replies!
I did research here and FZ1OA. For some reason my "search" here using the terms "carb leaking gas" did not turn-up any previous posts!
I got up this morn and opened the drains on the two leftmost carbs, did some tapping, turned the key "ON" to flush the...
I guess it could have been a BEE
I'm still learning about the differences and similarities.
I hope it stops leaking too. After reading the posts here on the subject, I can't hardly wait for daylight to start tapping, and checking the drain bolts!:woot:

Thanks All BUT.....
I had the FZ1 out today doing a shake-down run after adjusting a bunch of stuff ie F brake lever, clutch freeplay, throttle freeplay, mirrors, and I rotated the handlebars reward a inch or so.
I only went 6 miles or so but when I was leaving my local grocery I noticed...
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi All.
I'm too big and old for a proper sport bike:sport12:. I've always liked the Gen 1 style and concept. I found one nearby at an independent used-bike seller called GRD Cycles. It has relativly low milage with 15 thousand and change on the...
Hi All, My name is Earl. I live in Maryland, USA..
Yesterday I purchased a 2003 FZ1! :sport12:
I've been riding for years. My bike for the last 8 years was an Aprilia RST1000 Futura.
I'm sure I'll have more to say in the future......
