Hi I have an 07. Never noticed a vibration as bad as your experiencing. I think I noticed a slight vibration once or twice. Of course I had the bad vent vibration in the same rpm range. But I fixed that by shoving pieces of electrical tape between it and the fairing. Haven't been on this...

I'm close to Metuchen. I'll try to stop by. Thanks for posting.

I'm sure a hell lot more than a quarter Billy ! Congrats! Can't wait to ride with the FZ1 Forum crew again soon

I wish I had your skills to do a job like that Billy. Good luck with the cleaning. I can't wait to see the results.

Wow Billy, I'm just seeing this thread for the first time. Holy crap that was bad. Good luck with the cleanup. I'm going to subscribe to this thread. That was even worse than what mine looked like after the flood. I'm sure mine needs some extra attention still even though I cleaned up...

It was crowded this year. The only thing I bought was a rubber & plastic thing called a Cell Buckle. It used to attach a cell phone to the handlebars. My buddy took lots of pictures. I'll post them as soon as he emails them to me.

Anybody going tomorrow? I'll be there around 2:30 pm.

Terrible news. So sorry to hear. My condolences.

Congrats! I remember that feeling when I upgraded to the FZ1 from a 600cc. I could never go back.

Congrats! I remember that end-of-semester feeling. Especially the spring semester when I was young, free, single and the whole summer awaited me. But it's also great to be at the end of the fall semester and have the hoidays off. Enjoy. I did about 50 miles today in the lower forties...

I can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier. HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY BILLY!

Hi Tony Good to hear from you. Hope all is well. Admittedly, I still have a little uneasiness about the decision. We'll see what happens though. Thanks for the input. I hope to get down to some serious cleaning this weekend and a long enough ride to put fresh gas & Startron fuel...

Hi All I thought I'd attach a few pics. I rode back to the shop where I bought the helmet today and bought a new battery tender. The bike still seems OK. I started to clean it but I ran out of time to do a thorough job. I'll post more pictures once I get it all cleaned up. You can see...

Well, I rode it home tonight. First I went to a shop near me and bought a new Scorpion EXO-1100 helmet. It's a little lighter than my old EXO-1000 that got flooded and just as comfortable. I also bought a pair of Firstgear Kilmanjaro gloves. Really nice gloves! It's 41 degrees here...

Thanks All. I really appreciate the advice. Hmmmm, the 2013's are cobalt blue just like my rusted 07. Hmmmmm. I'll have to be extra nice to the wife this week. Someone else also mentioned to me about the salvage title. I didn't think of that. I guess that is a major consideration...

Well, they'll give me $6,100 if they take the bike. They'll give me $4,600 if I keep it. I just laid out money for two new vehicles so if the bike can be fixed I'd like to keep it. The $4,600. will certainly cover any repairs and buy all the replacement gear. But like you said, will there...

Hi All I have some great news but I also need advice. The insurance totaled the bike. I have to decide whether I want to take the total value and allow them to take the bike, or, if I want to keep the bike and take less money. I had it towed to the dealer I bought it from. They looked...

The adjuster just came here. They're going to total it. I'll know in a couple days what they plan to give me.

Thanks Guys. Hi Billy, I hope so. Shopping for a new bike in the spring would be fun but I'd miss the FZ badly. I hope it can be saved.

Hi All My block got hit with the flood badly here in central NJ. Lost the car and minivan for sure. Basement and garage were flodded but it stopped literally 3 inches short of coming into my living area. Due to a substation failure they tell us to expect power outages for another 10 days or...
