issue

Severe jerking throttle Sorry for wasting your time.

I recently bought a first gen fz1, which runs and sounds good. When I drained the oil it looked milky, and when I put new oil in, there were white streaks that showed in the oil gauge. I also just replaced the filter, but the white streaks are still there. Not sure if it is water, coolant...

Hey all, new here, not to motorcycles, I was an FZ6 guy years back and am looking at a FZ1 to keep the F800GS company in the garage. The issue I'm having is the one I am looking at has a stuttering off idle and no power below 3k. I'm thinking coils, is there something else I should be looking at?

I recently purchased my first FZ1 (blue 05); been a long-time fan and came across a deal that would allow me to scratch that itch I've always had! I'm excited to get her up and running and want to thank you in advance for any suggestions or insight you may have. On to the issue - The bike had...

Well look who's bike made it in to the Readers Rides section of the July issue of Performance Bike Magazine in the UK!!!

I had a perfect running gen 11 2006 bike until the throttle cable broke last week. Being a competent technician of many years, I thought nothing more of replacing the cable, obviously no! Since fitting the cables I now have a misfire/ rough running issue between 2000-3000 rpm, bike runs and...

Hi All, I have just changed my rear brake pads on my FZ1 and bled the system afterwards. The issue I now have is there is no feel at all in the pedal. When bleeding there was no bubbles in the line at all but after spending a hour on it, it is no better. I have noticed when operating the...

I've seen this occur on other Yamaha vehicles IIRC the error code was 12 for crank position sensor however the bike runs perfectly fine once cranked. I do hear a click from under the seat every time I press the start switch which makes me think the starter relay is working fine (although it's...

Hi all, I bought my 2006 FZ1 last August, and I've been loving it. I'm mainly a lurker on here just to find information, but I have a minor issue I can't seem to solve. At lower rpms, say 3500 and below, it likes to make this spitting sputtering sound from the exhaust. This doesn't happen...

(Solved) Asking for help with electrical issue Hi everyone! I'm new to posting on this forum though I've been lurking for a little while. I'm having a strange issue with my 2002 FZ1 (usa, non-california model), it can't switch off... When I move the ignition switch to the off position or...

Hello guys, just wondering if anyone has had this issue, everything is working well on my bike but a while ago the license plate light went out, I ordered a new on and it's in the mail so I don't know if it's the light or something else. Recently though, my high beam and my horn went at the...

I have an 09 FZ1N with only 7500km on it, however I have noticed the right hand side front disc is wearing unevenly, in that the centre contact area of the disc has the original hone marks and there is just a 1cm wide band on the inner and outer of the disc where the pad is contacting...

Hey guys, A while back i had a retrofit done by Rabbitman109 on the forums - i tried private messaging him but i dont know if hes off the forum or what but the message wouldnt go through. Anyway... Ive been having an issue with my HID retrofit. I know he used a kit from the retrofit...

Extreme Long Term Test Well the end has finally come for my Frank Thomas Street Boots with the soles delaminating. This is no surprise when you take into account that the top songs on the charts the year of purchase were “Maneater” by Hall & Oates and “Down Under” by Men At Work along with...

This issue came up on Monday. I have about 66,500 miles on the motor now. She started up just fine (did my injector treatment a few weeks ago) rode to work no issue, let the bike sit for most of the day, about 7-8 hours. Went to start her up and it just turned and turned. made a few small pops...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so I hope I'm posting in the right place. I have clicking that seems to resonate from around the front sprocket. I haven't had a chance to pull the bike apart to see what malfunction there might be. As for the clicking, it's produced with the clutch...
