Whilst not overly concerned about mileage (km) I will say my Gen 1 gets marginaly better than the Bandit 1250 at our legal speeds but better at 120 - 130km/h (confiscation speeds here) bastards! So over all the Gen 1 is better on fuel for me. Just don't ask which one I would sell if I had too...

You must have some fancy futuristic TV then because digital is digital @ 29.97fps Standard or HD its still the same frame rate.

Very nice. I like the high muffler. Black is faster though.

G'day all, I picked up my Gen1 yesterday and I'm impressed. They must have been a revelation when they came out. I've always liked them and recently I had the opportunity to add one to the garage to sit beside my Bandit 1250S. Just on 18,000km. Fully serviced and carb cleaned. New tyres...

No my Mobil 1 was bike specific. I guess we dont use the term "energy conserving" here in Australia. Most car type oils proudly announce friction modifiers. That explains my confusion. Thanks. :smokin2:

G'day from Gippsland, Vic I'm expecting to have my "as new" 01 in the shed beside the Bandit 1250S by next weekend. It's in Brighton having some work done due to lack of use from previous owner. Can't wait :cuss:

I'm a bit lost here. The op hasn't said the oil had friction modifiers. I used to run Mobil 1 full synth in my RF900R. It was fantastic. Providing it meets manufacturer specs I'd be leaving it in the bike.

Looks like SA roads are no better than VIC roads:jaw drop: Looks like a nice ride though.

Nice color but still has the "rolling shutter effect " I'll back my Drift Innovation HD170 any day. For normal playback there is no benefit in 60fps as digital is 29.5fps. 60 is handy when you're doing slow motion stuff as the software doesn't have to generate false frames as often. Use 30 and...

Well I scored a test ride on Friday and was able to ride roads I know well which was a bonus. The trouble is the new FZ came up under expectations. Dissapointing actually. Suspension was way too soft. Vibration through the seat. Huge throttle free play before anything happens. Screen was too...

When I'm pulled for a RBT I make the point of killing the engine. Putting the side stand down, getting off the bike, removing right glove, undo helmet and take it off, put I'd down somewhere safe then blow in the tube and they can't do a thing about it. They could do 6 cars in the time it...

I'm on my second set of PR2's on the Bandit 1250. The first set lasted 16,000km (10,000mi) The Bandits bigger and heavier and if i keep it I will put another set on. They grip right to the edge but need some heat into them first. How do you people get away with riding at 85mph? Our bikes &...

Glad to give you an excuse :lol: Thanks for checking using the fast (modern) numbers too :innocent0002: Anther question though. The brochure I have doesn't specify what chain except for O Ring well whoop doo! Is 530 chain standard?:confused0024:

Thanks gents. That engine speed is fine for me. I have had engines that are higher.

As I'm having trouble finding a FZ1S to test ride I need to start asking questions of people who can help. What RPM is the 2011 doing at 100km/h? For my US friends that's about 65mph. Our police say we will instantly die if we do more than that! :confused0024: I have searched the forum but...

I use a Drift HD170 and it's fantastic. I'm about to by an updated version so i can run 2 instead of doing several runs from different positions. My Drift has "gone down the road" and still works.

Welcome. I'm new here too. Looking to get back on a Yamaha via a new FZ1S but don't tell my Bandit 1250 that :lol:

Thanks. That's the sort of info I'm after :) Not had a test ride yet. They are hard to come by in regional Vic. Might have to go to Melb but would prefer a test on roads I know what the Bandit feels like to compare. One thing I know for sure. If i get one it will be black (again) as "once you...

Thanks for the info. The warranty question came from a line on the Yam AU website but happy if it's 2yrs. Touring range could be a bigger issue. Others regularly get 350km out of their Bandits but I have never managed more than 280km. Maybe I'm more of a bad arse than I admit. I still want a...

Not noticed and AFP don't deal in traffic matters.
