Hey all,
Newb just signing in.
Just bought a 2002 FZ1 Black with 27K which seemed to be neglected (chain gunked up, oil hadn't been changed, tires shot, valves need checked, but still runs like a raped ape under full throttle).
It came with a Leo Vance slip and sounds great. Definitely feels stronger than the R6 I came off from.
So far have just changed to rotella syn 5w40w. Next would be the valve clearance check or dealing with the carbs
My main concern is that from 5-8K the bike surges under throttle. I was going to do the Ravenrider 127.5 jetting and shims to see if it would help, but not sure what the real problem in. Any ideas?
Thanks all!
