Should you get an FZ1?......Absolutely. Should you get and FZ1 as a first bike?......Absolutely not!!!! The FZ1 is not a beginners motorcycle. KLR 650 is an excellent suggestion for a man your size IMO. Have yo done a motorcycle safety course? If not do so. Be safe...have fun.

I have no issue with the build quality. The feel, machining, fit, etc. are fine. It's just the color is fading slightly. If it gets bad enough I may get them powdercoated like someone suggested. As it is now, I don't think the color issue would even show on a pic if I posted it. I'm not...

Guys, you're thinking wrong. Not only are my levers less than a month old and my bike stored inside always, I also live in Newfoundland. We have so much rain and fog we have to take Vitamin D suppliments. UV is not the issue.

I've noticed that my black FDB's are actually turning a very dark shade of blue. Not too bad but will it get worse? We'll see.

LOL!!! Change the filter dude.

Anybody sporting these? I'm interested but I'd like some reviews from anybody who has them. The pics show the bags on an FZ8 which has a different tail section. Thanks. Parts & Accessories - FZ1OA Message Board

Installed mine this weekend. No ride report yet due to weather but the install was easy and they look great. I suspect the shortys will take a little getting used to. The difference in the inside diameter of the stack and FDB bushing was extreme on mine. All in all, I'm happy.

I actually have no idea.

Oldschool is right, alot of overregulating in Canada. I envy US gun law. I'm in Canada and own a Sprngfield Armory SD 9mm Tactical, Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum, Maverick Defender pistol grip tactical 12 guage, Winchester 16 guage cooey single shot, Mossberg 12 guage pump and a 75 year old Lee...

I just recieved mine in the mail and the bushing is in place but held there with a zip tie. It isn't a press fit, it would just fall out without the zip tie. Since I can't get a reply on what lube removed the anodizing what lube are you other guys using with good results, white lithium grease???

I'd like to know what you put on your levers so I can avoid it.

I have this mod done for over a year now. I had the same issue with the Stanley screw driver...crap. Twisted the head off a brand new screw driver on the first screw. At least the screw wasn't damaged. Where would you buy a jewelers screw driver? The mod is easy with a good driver and lots...

What type of lube did you use?

I'd be interested in hearing their response. Mine are ordered and on route, awaiting customs in Vancouver. All black shorties.

Opps, sorry guys. I thought there were rules in place to prohibit the sale of copyright material on e-bay. I figured it was legit and was trying to be helpful.

I see your point. My manuals generally end up full of greasy finger prints for the same reason. For the cost I could print it onto 3-hole punched paper and put it in a big 3 inch binder.

So I wanted a service manual. Chilton and Hayes only make an FZ1 up to 2005. The Yamaha one costs $135 Canadian, plus tax!!! Found this on E-Bay for $9.99 on CD. US shipping is free, only $2.30 to Canada. I'll let you know how it is after I get it. I e-mailed the guy and asked if it was a...

I'm VERY pleased with the results from my CopperDawg Flies. They're the shiznit yo. :cheers: (no I don't really talk like that) :nono:

+1 :noworries:

I can't recall exactly how long but it wasn't more than three weeks. I live in Canada on an island so it may take a little longer to get to me. The time it took to get them was very reasonable. The reason I bought them instead of cutting is to have the option of going back to stock......even...
