    Motorcycle Mods versus state law???

    Just wondering....so if you live in one state and ride your bike into another different laws apply? Do you also need a license for that state? Here in Europe, the rules are that if your bike is OK in one country then the police can not give you a ticket in another for not complying to their...

    Flasher relay mystery

    I believe that it is whats refereed to as an "electronic relay". meaning that it has an small timing circuit inside (probably some kind of IC with a built in clock). The good thing is that this makes it easier to change to some kind of LED flashers, since you don't have to worry about the...

    As long as your a Yamaha dealer you always get the manual as a PDF, the ILLEGAL part is if you make it publicly available.

    US vs non-US headlight

    But if you still have the US headlight it should be an instant MOT failure since the beam points the wrong way. Since as far as I can remember (has been 20 some years since I lived in the US for a while) you drive on the right side of the road in US and on the left side in the UK, or am I wrong?

    FZ1N abarth saddle

    Did a quick check and it will cost you at least 1600 USD to get the parts. I just checked the main parts but you will probably need a lot of bolts, screws, bushing and rubber mounts (and i forgot to check the seats). On the plus side the tail section does come in two different silver colors...

    Service Manual

    LOL, that is the ONLY way they distribute the manuals nowadays. Until about 2006 we got the printed ones but now we only receive CDs with the manuals (not burned CDs but actual pressed CDs) or we download them directly from the service server in Japan. Maybe Yamaha America use a different...

    Just wondering if a printed manual actually exists? I have never seen one (for the gen II I mean) and I work at a Yamaha dealership.

    Whats your gas of choice?

    So in my manual it says that it recommended to use unleaded gas with an octane of 91 or higher (gen 2 -2006). If you get miss fires then use a higher octane. Personally I use what we in Sweden call regular unleaded which is 95 octane, I have tried 98 octane and did not notice anything...

    FZ1 valve adjusting

    Be aware of the error that is made in the OEM manual when it comes to checking the clearance. On page 3-4 it states that you should turn the crankshaft counterclockwise, but this can not be done since you will only loosen the bolt holding the sprocket. I called technical support at Yamaha...

    Has anyone used a head wrap kit on your FZ1?

    I did it to my '06 since the previous owner never cleaned the headers and they looked awful. Here are some pics

    Brand new owner, how do I get at the battery??

    Unlock the passenger seat and remove it. Then you can get to the release lever for the rider seat and remove it. There you have the battery. At least this is how I do it on my FZ1-N '06.

    the error code 20

    What you have there is a component that is made by by IVAN (who is a well known tuner in the US). it is fitted to the bike to minimize a problem that was mostly common in the 2006 model. The problem was that the fuel was stopped pumping into the cylinders when you got of the throttle and this...

    the error code 20

    You can NOT test the sensors by removing them since this will cause another fault code. in your case 22 and 23 wich means that the sensor in question has a short-circute or is broken in som other way. The o2 sensor has nothing to do with this at the moment. this is from the manual...

    the error code 20

    looking at the part list I think it should be located under the front seat, probably between the front and rear seat. (sorry I do not have my bike here to look for it at the moment). According to the manual it should be quit easy to check the functions of the two sensors to determine which...

    Ohlins YA 906 Rear Shock Installed

    Looks nice, but if I want to order one I have to get it in the US since it's only about $1000 there and here in Sweden it's something like $1500-1600. Wonder why it's so expensive here???

    Yamaha launches 2 new bikes;998cc FZ1 and 153cc SZ-R

    At least here in the northern parts of Europe the 150cc bikes aren't selling anything. Here in Sweden we have always wanted more cc and more power. The only country in Europe that I have heard of the have any regulations against to much power is France where I believe they are only allowed to...
