    Gen 2 - Can I put on a 180/55/17 instead of 190/50/17

    Can I put on a 180/55/17 instead of the stock 190/50/17 tire size on the 2009 FZ1? I am sure someone will be curious as to why I would want to do that. The reason is I am thinking of riding the Denali Highway in Alaska later this year, and want to put on Continental TK70/TK80 tires for the...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    I thought that moving to Texas would afford me more riding time. I thought the weather change from NH would entice me to be out on the bike more. I thought, since I'd bought a brand-new home, I'd have nothing but time on my hands with no projects to do. I was wrong in so many ways... on too...

    Front brakes are sticking.

    So I just put on new tires and I took the wheels off to do so. Well, I noticed after I got it all put together that my bike was harder to push around. The rear wheel spins fine, but the front wheel barely spins (front wheel in air). As soon as I push to rotate it, it just stops and doesn't even...

    Dyno Day scheduled

    Well I finally got around to booking my Dyno tune at the end of this month. I will be taking my bike to Dyno Services - Ryan Schnitz Racing He is well known around my area for his tunes and racing so I think he would be one of the best to go to, at least locally. I am hoping for 140 to 150rwhp...

    2017 sv650

    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!

    New member from Michigan

    Hello All! I just wanted to finally take the time to introduce myself. I bought a stock FZ1 back in August after having an FZ6 for the last few years. She is a 2009 in granite gray. She had about 8000 miles on her but I have since put on about 1000 more before tucking her away for the...

    Question about brakes

    So my brakes are not as strong as I want them to be... I put some new HH pads in which made a bit of a difference, but I still have some softness in the braking. I see the threads about the R1 calipers and M/C but I am not going to put on an R1 front end so that's out of the question. So...

    Rear set removal Gen II

    So, I'm looking to do some more part swapping between one of my R1s and the FZ1; more specifically, I'm aiming to put together some hybrid rear sets. The Right rear set on the FZ1 has me a bit puzzled as to how it comes apart - eg: just how would I remove the foot peg from its bracket? It looks...

    WTB: Gen II Centre Stand (FZ1)

    I misplaced mine because I usually remove it over the summer, and only use it for storage in the winter. Poor baby is currently parked sideways in the garage because I don't know where I put the darn centre stand last time I took it off!! :spank2: Anyway, I'm in need of a centre stand and was...

    2008 Sat for ten days, then would not start

    Anyone encounter this? The bike turned over and over this morning but would not start. I have not been on the 08 FZ1 in 10 days. I normally ride her to work on Monday and Thursday. I always put it on the Battery Tender Jr "the night before," a ride. It ALWAYS starts in 1-2 seconds. I have...

    Can't stop scraping the peg

    So besides new rearsets... What can be done to prevent scraping? I don't want to hear slow down or body position. I want a mechanical fix. Has anyone tried to put a super sport peg on and did that help? What about raising the pegs?
