My fz1 is usually at 6k rpm while occasionaly going near redline as i usually only do a sport touring pace on it while i do my spirited rides on my much quicker zx10r.
The fz1 is only out of date if ya want rider aids, other than that its just as good as its rivals looks a hell of alot better than its rivals especially the z1000.
I run road2s on my fz1 as i mostly do longer rides on it but when i do push it i never have a problem with them they grip well even with the throttle wide open in the first 2 gears in the corners and im getting good mileage out of them. On my zx10r i run pilot power 2cts i just cant trust a...
I just completed my first long ride on my fz1.
I left Nova scotia last wednsday and hopped on the highway and drove through new brunswick and than got on the 132 west up to matane and stayed the night, the next day i stayed on the 132 and went east and went around the loop and back into...
Sorry about the bike man glad ur father's okay, i remember when i bought my first bike the first day i had it my father dropped it showing off he hadent been on a bike in 10 years and he didnt realize motorcycles had gotten faster in the 10 years he hadent been riding lol, anyways he felt...
Have fun doing the cabot trail, i live in halifax and i try to do it every year its the best road in n.s. i suggest doing the trail counter clockwise because theres less traffic that way, enjoy

A bit of an update, i only got 4000kms out of the dunlops, the front tire was down to the wear bars on the left side and the right side had a couple mms left, the rear was down to the wear bars all around, i dont know what happened to get so low milege i always kept the air psi at 38 in the...
I was wondering about this too i dont drive in traffic much so i havent seen high temps but on the backroads doing 120kmh plus my fz1 has a temp of 71-75c where my zx10r is usually around 65c and can go into the high 50s on a cold day and also my fz1 warms up from a cold start nearly twice as...
I finished breaking in my fz1 recently but i was bringing it up to 5k rpm during that time probably go a little higher now, my other bike is a zx10r and i usually shift at 6k rpm during casual riding and 9k-redline during spirited riding, p.s revving sportbikes/sport tourers near redline...
I put 300 kms on my fz1 today and completed the break in process as soon as i came home i did an oil and filter change dam that oil filter is hard to get at, now its time to see what she can do.
Welcome to the site man, im sure u can agree with me when i say this extended winter in canada sucks i live in nova scotia i know u have it worst but im still getting enough snow and cold weather that i have only been out once this year on me fz1
Thanks for the opinions guys i think ill give em a shot for at least the first thousand kms, the bikes new so it has to be broken no shifting above 7 grand so im probably limited to 130kmh in sixth gear so as long as they stick to the road im fine if i dont like them after i can push it a little...
Hey everybody i recently bought a leftover 2010 fz1 and was wondering if the dunlop sportmax d221 tires that came with it are any good? all the bikes i owned before my fz1 were sportbikes and i always used michelin pilot powers because most of my riding is spirited, i bought the fz1 more for...
