I'm surprised nobody started this already. Who's going? I'll be there Sunday afternoon.

Hi All It won’t be long before old man winter is here. Last year I bought a pair of Hippo Hands. Hippo Hands They really work great for keeping the hands warm but they are dangerous at highway speeds. They will blow back onto the levers and once it flipped my kill switch. I haven’t used...

Hi All I had a great 300+ mile ride on Friday. I’ve become friends with our town’s police chief. He has kids at the same school mine go to. Another one of the school dads rides but he doesn’t have a bike at the moment. He borrowed one from somebody. They invited me to do a ride to...

Dammit! I put a nasty scratch in the plastic fairing that’s located in front of the tank and behind / under the bars. I have no clue how it happened. It wasn’t there when I went out for a ride yesterday. But there it was when I came back. I have another scratch in the rear near the left...

Well, I have the famous buzzing sound on my 07 that comes after about 1500 miles from the plastic thing above and behind the instrument cluster. It's been discussed extensively on the FZ1OA forum. Just curious if anyone here has addressed it and how. Thanks

Hi All Here's a good link to the FZ6 forum. There's a thread there to sign a petition against insurance companies who don't want to pay for medical coverage if your injuries happen while riding, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. I urge all to sign it. Thanks...

Sorry, no earth shattering post here. Just wanted to mention I just had the 600 mile servicing done on my 07 leftover. It cost me $238. Hard to put a finger on it but the bike does feel more responsive. ( Or is it I’m just getting used to the FZ1 ?) It’s nice too see clean oil through...

I bought a new 07 recently. I know others here have too. Did you guys get a 5 inch rubber strap that has rectangular metal loops at the ends with your documentation? What the heck is it for? The dealer didn't know. It came with the documentation from Yamaha (owners manual, riding tips)...

About a week before I bought the FZ1 I was in the car with the family. I saw a cruiser approaching a red light. His brake lights were great. He must have installed a couple extra lights and they flashed quickly and brightly. Real attention grabbers. I thought “ I gotta get those.” OK, so...

I think I'm ready to start talking numbers with a dealer on a new 07 leftover. I'm not much of a haggler so any help on what a good price is here in NJ would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi All For those of you who read the FZ6 forum this is pretty much the same thing I posted there. I’m from central NJ and considering a new FZ1 or FZ6. I've been on numerous bikes but there's nothing like a Yamaha ! I’ve been riding a 93 Seca II since it was new. It’s a great bike but...
