Congrats for your FZ1...! Welcome to the gang.

Thanks for the warning!

Nice work...! :cheers:

Will my ultrasonic dog whistle work. :poke:

Some riders don't seem to be bothered by sudden throttle response when re-opening the throttle although I can't imagine that a serious twisty rider or track rider would feel that way. It can be a bit unnerving to twist the throttle very gently and get a disproportionate torque effect at the rear...

He currently owns a Tiger. I can tell you that with routine intake and exhaust mods, remapped PC III, and a 16 tooth sprocket, my `07 shows absolutely no "lack of response" at low RPM. Indeed, I don't need any more engine response. However, it is an inline four (not a V-twin) and must be...

I am REALLY MIFFED that you guys would react to a picture of me that way. :shaking head: Okay, so I'm a little thin...

Yes, perhaps a good map "should" work well in all of them. But they don't work well in all of them. Production variations have a way of adding up to a mechanical Bell Curve with most running well, a few running exceptionally well, and a few running poorly. It's a well understood statistical...

Good show Sid... Yep--I installed mine with very deliberate actions (cutting into wiring harnesses makes me that way). I also thought the supplied crimping tool sucked so I carefully micro-soldered mine. That was 2 years ago with no problems at all to date and...it works perfectly as advertised...

Hi Joe, and welcome. I just dropped in to say that the advice in this thread is spot-on, good medicine. Pick the one you like to look at and listen to `cause performance will be very close among them all. Also, "loud" can be cool or obnoxious...depending upon how, when, and where you modulate...

Having a bad day?

I think it depends on how you ride, how sensitive you are, and what you want/expect in terms of throttle response. My `07 was transformed by Ivan's FCE (and other mods) but...I ONLY ride twisties where any throttle-snatch becomes readily apparent in mid-turn. When leaned-over near the...

For me, sometimes it's only one. Sometimes it's two or three. :confused0024:

Well...at least I seem to be in good company. :laugh2:

Ah ha...so some of you ARE as sick as I. :cowboy:

Welcome. That's a very nice Gen1. :tup:

Wow...you understand. Congrats and good on `ya for your comeback! ;)

Amen...I know. :cheers: I'm healing extremely well, thanks. I thought I was plenty tough but my doctor humbled me with triple coronary bypass surgery 2.5 weeks ago. I had little choice due to cholesterol buildup in my arteries--even a small blood clot could have been fatal. All those yummy...

It's an odd thing. No matter how pleased I am with my current, well-modded bike, these lecherous eyes still stray towards other finely-crafted machines. The latest distraction for me is a Ducati 1100S Monster--a purist's mountain twisty bike of little compromise. At 370 pounds dry, a Harley-like...

Gunny - Nice family. :tup: You're too generous! I can't do 150 push-ups anymore but I do manage to surprise young sport bikers in the twisties. Does that count? :poke:
