True or false: It's safe to jack up with some foam under the exhaust manafolds to prop up the front wheel for removal?

So I am thinking of taking off the whole darn AIS system and put on covers. I temporarly blocked the hose for now after adding my Yoshi and scoped out the job down the road. Am I going to snake it out from the sides over the top of the cylender heads or do I go in for the kill from the top...

2 quick questions on a new Yoshi TRC slip on, 1-When re-packing it down the road, I assume the rear pop rivits (closest to exhast port) get removed to slip out the inner guts to re-pack? 2-I am using just a slip on, keeping the Cat in for now, blocking the AIS and no power commander for...

Anyone know someone making mirror blanks? Want to remove stock mirrors and cover the holes. Most of what I read, the guys just made covers themselves but wondering if anything decent sold out there. Thx.

So is it true that to change the front wheel, you put it up on center stand, put some hard foam under the headers and jack up the headers to raise the front wheel? Headers and their connection to manafold can take the pressue without defect? Thanks

So I got a kit from Pro-Bolt to replace the stock engine cover bolts with red ones. Maybe someone knows before I go ahead but on the left side pickup rotor cover, there are 6 bolts in a circle that holds the cover on. THEN, there is one more in the center (called the pickup rotor cover blind...

Wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket hugger in Yamaha red for my 08?

So before I go ahead and get a slip on, I hear that sometimes you develop a backfire with deceleration after you switch to a slip on.. Thus, you need to block up the AIS. Is backfiring common? AIS blocking needed if occurs?

Anyone know off hand what rider weight the stock suspension is set up for from the factory for an 08?

So I took advise to just remove my main fuse as a theft deterent. Issue is, when replacing back the fuse, you have to re-set the clock, which makes sense. Which leads me to think that the computer then has to re-set itself also. So...the local Yamaha tech says yes, like changing the battery, CPU...

So, thinking of installing a slip on. The power commander software for a Yosh slip on for example mentions with o2 sensor removal but nothing about with or without the cat removed. I know alot of guys remove the cat but is it better to leave it in, since the mapping assumes it to be in and...

Hi all, Maybe I'm old but I can't find my fuel filter on my 08? Can't see it anywhere in service manual diagrams either. Someone steer me right, unless it is incorporated in the fuel pump? Thanks for any help.

Hi, Can't find where the fuel filter is on my 08? Can't find it in service manual diagrams either. It's only mentioned briefly in troubleshooting, built into the fuel pump? I can't be that old yet that I can't find it...over 50 views so far...any takers on its location? Thanks for any help.

Hi, Never had any concerns of luggage but i am going back and forth between either a backpack or a small tail bag. I need to carry a average laptop, power cord, few papers etc. I never rode with a backpack. Can you last an hour or does drag eventually get to you and you shoulders start aching...

Still do not know if there is any conclusion of the thought of keeping the bike on it's center-stand and any ill effects on the rear or front shocks , since it is pulled out all the way? Some say keep weight on the shock or it can cause seal leaks ? Doesn't make sense to me, any takers on this...

Hi, I am thinking about adding a small hidden toggle switch as a anit-theft device (assuming they just don't pick it up and throw it on a truck). It's a 2008 FZ1. I was thinking about breaking the red/black wire off the engine stop switch with the toggle switch. Figured won't be able to start it...
