My 2003 FZ1 which I just purchased screams like a banshee--when it's fully warmed up. When it's cold however, it's sometimes a bear to start. Then once started, and even after letting run for a few minutes, there is still a slight dead spot when I blip the throttle. Again, after riding on the highway a bit or whatever it takes to fully warm up the engine, the flat spot seems to disappear. The only after market mods it has is a Yosh pipe. It may have been re-jetted but I don't know. It only has 18,000 miles on it and physically it's in superb condition with nary a scratch on it. So, waddya think? Are the FZ1's so cold-blooded that they act the way I have described or should I be looking for a problem? I see wiring running to the carbs so I am assuming they are heated carbs, is that right? BTW, I have yet to read the owner's manual but that's next on my list as well as purchasing a service manual.
Thanks in advance for any help you all can offer and I'm glad to be a member of this forum.
