I tried to search for something on the issue without any luck so I apologize if this is posted somewhere else. I'm getting ready to winterize my bike and part of that process includes changing the oil and filter. My question is I have a little over 500 miles on my last change do I really...

Two issues with the bike. I have a 2001 that has been jetted per VArider's thread, yoshi slip on, and airbox mod. Except for those items the bike is stock with some minor cosmetic changes. I also performed the vaccum port crossover connecting port one to 4 and port 2 to 3. I disconnected the...

I just synced my carbs a couple of days ago and it feels like the bike vibrates more! All carbs are pulling right around 10 in and I know that's more than the stock spec. In screwing with the vacumm could I have messed something else? My EXUP valve is off by a little bit but no more than 1/2...

If I disconnect the AIS from carb 4 will it cause engine problems? Or should I just wait to remove it later? I was looking at Pat's site and was thinking of removing the coolant lines to the carbs and conneting carb vacuum lines from 1 to 4 and 2 to 3. Has anyone completed these mods? What...

Okay I know I'm complaining about noises but I don't want anything to hurt my baby. I'm preatty convinced that I have a drive sproket problem. It wines when I'm driving but when I pull in the clutch it goes away? Has anyone had their sprockets or chain go bad on them, can you tell me what is...

I have a 2001 FZ1 with just over 22,000 miles on it, 500 of which I've added over the last two weeks. The issue that concerns me is I hear a light clicking coming from the motor. It sounds like rockers but I'm not sure. Anytime I think car motor and clicking I think crap but is it different...

I'm was about to undertake the Fuzzy mod and va-rider's hoppy tailight conversion when I started thinking about state law and not wanting to get pulled over on every outing. On the AMA website (Missouri state motorcycle laws) it states that MO doesn't require mirrors or turn signals to be a...

I just bought my bike two days ago and I got a nail in the rear tire coming out of my apartment complex. It's a 2001 FZ1 with Michelin Pilot road 180/55 ZR 17s. The question is should I try and patch this whole, try and find a dealer to patch the hole, or trash it and buy a new tire. I know...
