I have a wonderful blue 02 gen 1 FZ-1 with 13k miles. I bought it a while ago from the most thorough person. He had had a new 01, sold it, then got the most cherry one he could, added an expensive Penske shock, Seargent seat, carbon muffler, etc. I found him on craigslist a a couple of hours away. Before I came up to see him, and I might not have shown, he put in new battery, oil, filter, and had it inspected! I have maintained it well and put on tires in October.It hasn't been ridden much.
It recently developed a rattle. I was told it was the cam chain,that there is a tensioner which if you run the bike would go to the next click and all would be well. I was then told that the noise is a real engine problem like a rod.
I am no mechanic and don't know what I am willing to get into. If you have some opinion, or would like to have this bike and fix it, let me know. Thanks and enjoy beautiful springtime riding.
