Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions or input is appreciated
I'm looking to add a 1st gen FZ1 for fun rides. I already have a well used and heavily modified (black) DL650 that I'm keeping for long distance touring, light off road and 2up riding.
The 2 bikes I have come across are a 2001 Black model and a 2003 Yellow model. Both are the same price.
I'm leaning towards the higher mileage one due to suspension work and other little upgrades that are useful for me.
2001 w/ 66,000km:
• New chain & sprockets (Yamaha replacement kit – one-piece chain, bearings all cleaned and synthetic grease used)
• Suspension (adjustable) has been rebuilt (front and rear) from Traxxion Dynamics (happens to be set up for my weight).
• Front and rear suspension are adjustable (Compression, dampening and rebound)
• Throttlemeister cruise control and weighted handlebar ends
• Pazzo 6-position adjustable levers
• Handlebar risers
• Well maintained, new battery and carb service in 2021
• Never dropped and no scratches or damage
Extras:
• FZ1 Yamaha bike cover
• Wired for a Zumo series GPS that fits my Garmin 590
• Yamaha owner’s manual & Yamaha shop manual
• Extra touring windscreen & Tinted bubble windscreen
2003 w/ 21,000km:
• New tires
• New chain
• New brakes
• New battery
• Exup eliminator done
• Suspension is upgraded for better handling (higher spring rate)
• Yamaha owner’s manual & Yamaha shop manual
• Has a ding in the tank.
Extras:
• Spare set of turn signals
Thanks!
