Yes It works and with over time as a rider we get used to some of the abruptness. I would suggest this mod first and over any of the flashing...

Good News... I seem to be the 2nd person to try this mod to get rid of the fuel cut. Bought 4 diodes 1N4004 from radio shack $3 and basically just twisted the wires after soldering the diodes and wires. I went for a quick test drive and then just kept going this felt too good to be...

Zady5 and Diblert....Been reading this thread and hope to try this method out. I have already got the Fuel Cut taken care of by flashing but I still have the throttle snatch issue and I have sync throttles, adjusted TPs to 20 from 16 but no full elimination. Give me couple of days and I will...

Why does my/(or all) FZ1 sound better with earplugs and a helmet than without. When I pull into my garage the sound of the engine makes it feel like a sewing machine and I dont like it :). I have a GYTR exhaust too :cowboy:

For anyone following this thread. I did change the oil to synthetic Rotella T6 5w40 and the bike is running smooth. The gear changes are smooth. It ofcourse did not take away all the notchiness but I can definitely feel it to be better than before. I have done about 100 miles on the bike since.

To all the Guys here who have these lucky ladies and the Bikes in their lifes. You are some lucky SoBs. I am so happy for you !

Thanks I got the Purolator 14610 oil filter recommended from the forum

Can I use Rotella T6 5w-40w synthetic on this bike ? Its a 2001 For some reason I read other FZ1 Gen 2 threads and ended up buying that oil. Not sure if its the right oil. I am CA and it gets about 80~100 in the summer :)

What does the engine sound say ? Hey Guys, Recently got this bike with 90k miles(lol) thats a lot I know . If I am not wrong seems like the engine sound is more than when i got it. What do your experiences tell you about the engine. The bike pulls great but the gearbox is notchy and not as...

Couple of points I noted already. The bike feels like its in the 5th gear but its in 6th...is that how they are geared The bike somehow feels it lags just a bit when i yank the throttle open ... anyway i could easily adjust the airmixture ? the bike engine brakes quite a bit as soon as...

Finally got the bike. Another person came along and bid $1500 and we decided to not overbid but flipped a coin. I won. Quick note on the feeling about riding it. I feel it needs to be still in overdrive while in 6th gear.

The valves were done at 78k miles and seems like oil was done regularly

Thanks a lot for the quik replies. Best forum ever. I can get it for $1200 I guess not lower. The reason I looked at it was coz it was parked for sale while I was driving by. The owner has 2 more bikes so I guess hes maintained it. I will be test driving it tomorrow. I will ask if the engine...

The bike looks to be in good condition except new seals required on the fronk forks. The bike has 90,000 miles on it with 2 owners. Its selling for $1300. I wonder if its worth buying. I will put at the most about 2-3k miles on per year. What could be the issues I should look for before...
