things

I never even knew about the cult family this bike has. I went to a bike night in College Station yesterday and there were several people who came up and welcomed me to the family. I learned a couple of things, such as this forum being great, and some guy that does an ECU flash, to fix some...

So my bike (an 04 fz1) now has about 17.5k miles on it and its not starting as easily as it should. Me and a friend are going to check the valves and do an adjustment if needed. This will be my first time doing this. I did order a Clymer manual and a shim kit but im wondering before i start if...

So I got in an accident on Friday. I was extremely lucky as I was side swiped by a semi (not even kidding). I was very fortunate to escape with a mild concussion and a sprained shoulder and my 07 fz1 also escaped with not taking a ton of damage. That being said, I am in the hunt for a few...

There is usually something that I am working on that doesn't really fit into the Non-FZ motorcycle category, and I'm sure that I'm not alone. I thought that I would make a place for things that you are working on in your Shop, Garage, Man-Cave, etc. My recent examples are improvements to my...

Except not for me......Took a buddy down near Detroit to look at a 2001 FZ1 for sale, he ended up buying it so we brought it home. Its a pretty nice Gen 1 but does need a few things (well, if it were mine). Fender eliminator being first, anyone suggest a decent but affordable one? Someone just...
