    Hello From Torbay Newfoundland

    Just picked up this 2008 on Sunday. Always wanted an FZ1 just never came across the right deal. It only has 14000km on it and its all stock. Needs a set of tires and I'm gonna put a new set of brake pads on it for my own peace of mind and an oil change. Looking forward to putting some miles on...

    My New (to me) 2014 FZS10

    2014, ~7,000 miles, Needed tires; the rear was original (!). Did an oil change immediately, put new Dunlop SportMax Q3+ tires on it yesterday. Cleaned the RK gold chain up (it was disgusting and STIFF). Put the rear "fender" assembly back on for the new tag. Back together and ready to ride...

    Tire question about year of manufacture vs installation date new...

    A tire shop was trying to say my tires need changing because the year stamp on one was 2012 and the other was 2013 but I got them installed in 2015. I would think tires get manufactured and stored then the slow boat to the USA, sitting in a warehouse, then purchased by tire places could be a...

    Pirelli Angel ST tires

    Hey there my fellow FZ1 friends, I just recently had a set of Pirelli Angel ST tires put on my 2010 FZ1 and I definitely would recommend these tires in heartbeat. One note is that I did change the rear size from a 190/50 to a 190/55. For me, the handling has dramatically improved and the...

    Can you run Michelin Commander's on a Sport Bike?

    I recently installed Michelin Commander's on my Yamaha VStar 1300 Touring. The tires seem to last nearly 20k miles on a big heavy cruiser, and feel very planted at high speeds and in the twisties. Can tires like this be installed on an FZ-1? Will any shops install them? I am really more...

    Hey guys, need tire advice (Pic included)

    Hey guys. So I have the stock tires on now with 4,300 miles after I bought her in May and it looks like its time for a new rear. I'm just going to replace both as a set though since I really don't like the front all too much. It slipped out on me twice in a hard stop. I want to either grab the...

    Getting tires black using no slick products

    I don't like to apply products to my motorcycle tires, like Armor-All or TireBlack for obvious reasons, plus shiny motorcycle tires just look wrong. Is there a washing method or soap you can recommend for getting the brown look off tires and make 'em look flat black again. Have you tried any...
