    FZ1 exhaust recommendation

    My R77 system on my '08 didn't rub a thing that I could see. It held up well through 10K+ miles with only the carbon fiber showing any real signs of wear, which was the typical light fading. I was satisfied with my R77. I'd buy from Yosh again. :Rockon:

    FZ1 Front brakes

    My pistons did this on my '08 FZ1, my '95 Speed Triple and my '03 883 R. It isn't at all uncommon on 4 pot calipers. Most of the time it's only noticed by "hard" or "late" brakers' as the brakes still work, just not anywhere near 100%. My fix was as simple as holding in one side/bank of...

    FZ 8 to FZ 1 Parts Interchangeability

    I have a set of '95 Triumph Tiger risers on my '08 FZ1. They are black and were just taking up space in the carriage house. They look identical to the new FZ8 parts which are much shorter than the FZ1s. I think many different model risers would work. I'd check the local salvage yard prior to...

    FZ 8 to FZ 1 Parts Interchangeability

    That's an option but it doesn't get me into the rear set geometry of the newer FZ8 pilot pegs. FWIW, I did find a new (a few) FZ8 at Beechmont Motorsports this past weekend. I eyeballed them and finger measured, I think they'll bolt up and still allow the through frame shifter rod. The...

    FZ 8 to FZ 1 Parts Interchangeability

    My immediate interest is in the black passenger foot peg hangers and black rear set pilot pegs/shifter. None of my local dealers has a FZ8 yet. My concern is with how Yamaha routed the shift rod on the FZ8 and if they modified the frame at all to get the rod through the frame. I know a lot...

    Daytona Bike Week 2011

    Great shots! There's a decent restaurant across from the lighthouse you pictured. I can't remember the name off hand but you eat in/on old boats on the deck. It was a regular locals hangout when I lived down that way in lat '90s early '00s.

    FZ 8 to FZ 1 Parts Interchangeability

    Anyone think we could start a parts interchangeability list for the Gen II FZ1 and FZ8? I know the frames are supposed to be the same and the FZ 8 has rear sets (as compared to the FZ1). :tup:
