    FS: Black '07 FZ1 (Ohio)

    SALE PENDING: Black '07 FZ1 (Ohio) SOLD This is somewhat of a feeler ad. I don't need to sell the bike but I'm considering selling it to pay off some other bills. I bought the bike this year over the 4th of July weekend from a local Yamaha dealership. It had just under 4,200 miles and came...

    Ok to use a 120/60/17 Front on R6?

    Hi All. My Buddy has a 2005 R6 and accidentally ordered a 60 front tire instead of a 70 from jakewilson.com. We were planning to change his tires tomorrow because we have a group ride on Sunday. I'm guessing it's just going to drop the front of the bike slightly? Is there any reason why...

    Help me get comfortable!

    I've had my FZ1 for about 6 weeks now and logged about 2200 miles. Most of the miles have been just regular commuting to work/gym/church etc. Sometimes I'll take off after work and just do 50 miles of exploring new roads in the area, etc. I've done a couple 140 mile rides basically to get out...

    Full system question

    My bike came with a GYTR Carbon Fiber slip-on. I'm considering buying a full Yoshimura system. Does the Yosh header exit in the same place as the stock one so that I can use the GYTR slip-on with the Yosh header if I don't like the way the Yosh can looks or sounds? Also, can anyone explain...

    Has anyone tried one of these collapsible tail bags?

    I've seen these on eBay and they look pretty cool. Would be good to throw a lunch in or a pair of gym shoes. I like the fact that it zips down for when it's not in use. Just wondering if anyone has tried one. 2006-2010 Yamaha FZ1 FZ6R Tail Bag Seat Cover: eBay Motors (item 110559679716 end...

    Will PC3 maps work with PCV?

    Looks like my PCV will be arriving today. I'm not going to do a custom dyno tune for awhile because I want to make sure I have all the mods done first, etc. I noticed there seem to be a lot more PCIII maps available out there to try than PCV maps. Will PCIII maps work on the V? Any good...

    Clicking sound under part throttle

    I've noticed a "clicking" sound under light throttle. It seems to correspond with my throttle position and is coming from somewhere in the handlebar area (I think?). It sounds like a small switch. If you were to go out to your bike right now and pull your front brake lever back and forth...

    Engine Braking

    I'm just curious how many people use the gears to help slow them down when coming to a stop sign, or if most people just pull in the clutch and use the brakes. I'm a fairly new rider and not sure of the proper "technique" or if it's just a personal preference thing.

    What do I have here? (Equipment on my bike)

    I bought this '07 2 days ago. Just wondering if these are the stock handlebar risers. They seem very high. Also, is this the stock seat?

    Melted Gauges?

    I posted up my intro in the intro forum yesterday. I have a new to me '07 with 4200 miles. I noticed (after buying the bike) that the gauges are a little melted. Is this outer bevel easily replaced? Is this a common problem just from sitting out in the sun? Also do my gauges look like...

    New owner/member from Ohio

    Hi All, I just brought home a black '07 FZ1 yesterday. It's my 3rd bike. Last summer I bought a cheap Ninja 500 that wasn't running. I fixed it, road it about 500 miles, then sold it. Then last winter I bought a pretty rough '99 VFR800 and did a bunch of work to it over the winter. I put...
