engine

I've been using Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic in my FZ1 for five years with no issues. It's time for a spring oil change so I dropped by the local Walmart and picked up the familiar blue gallon jug of T6 for the usual price of $21.36/gallon. Upon inspection in my garage I see the designation...

How does the 2004 FZ1S read speed for the speedometer? is there an induction line from one of the wheels to the speedometer or is it some how measured inside the engine?

Suzuki Cycles - News - 2015 - 11 - 2017 SV650 Suzuki has brought the SV650 name back. It's really just the Gladius with a round headlight and a few changes but it looks like they really put some effort into refining that lovely engine a bit more. I like it!

Rode for three hours...when I got home there was...what I believe to be oil all over the right side of the motor...I also noticed the two black half circles were not flush with the engine anymore....I pushed those in. So I assumed that the oil came out of those half circles? But the bigger...

Hi all, Glad to see there's help out there for those of us returning to the 2-wheel world after a long lay off :) (Honda CB250 1976-78, Suzuki GS550 1978-1982, Kawasaki GPZ550 1990-1993). I have just bought a 3rd hand FZ-1 (first registered in 2008) and the guy I bought it from had fitted...

Well, as some of you may know, Lytehouse recently got a new bike and I have been returning the FZ1 to stock. Part of that process has been to remove the MIVV exhaust and put the stocker back on. Unfortunately, that has not gone without some complications. I've got it all back together, and...

The noise is only with a cold engine. It goes away above 120 coolant temp. It oddly starts a second or two after the engine starts. Im ASSuming its the stator but im not sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LqiarK2oxQ

Just picked up a used 2006 FZ1. Already own a ZX-6R and CBR 500R and ride daily for commuting and then the canyons on the weekends. Anyways, the previous owner had the stator explode on him at the 87,000 mile mark. I picked it from him after he realized the bike needed more work than he had...

Hi all. My FZ1 has too much vibration through the foot pegs and handlebars? It's worst at 4000 - 5000 RPM. I've tried the 'loosen the engine mounts, rev engine, re-torque' thing. It worked a little but not enough. I'm not looking for electric bike smooth but my hands go numb after 20 mins...

Dear all, I am from Brazil and I am writing because I am looking for some help with my bike. A Yamaha FZ1(S) 2007. My bike was imported and here in Brazil we have just a few bikes like that, this way I decided to look for the solution in the US... :) My engine is making some strange...

Hey all. First time poster, novice rider. I bought a 2001 FZ1 this summer and was having blast until an accident. Needless to say I only had liability on my bike. Along with a rod in my leg, I also now have part of the engine case missing in the side of my bike. Before I take it to the repair...

After putting a conrod through the side of my motor I need a new motor for an otherwise perfect ride (or should I say "push"). If anyone in Australia is wrecking a Gen I with a good motor I would love to hear from you. Thanks. Dennis

Just curious if anyone has done any internal engine mods. I am in the process of doing a cam and head gasket swap, and found that when i put the bike back together the first time I hag both cams off one tooth, and the bike would only start a wot and even then would only run at wot( no idle)...

Hi everyone, I found this site online. It goes against the manufacturers suggestions but it seems to make a lot of sense. I showed it to a couple of my friends who are mechanics and they agree with this guy and this is how they themselves break-in their new engines. The author clearly...
