Hi all,
I have a couple observations on my FZ1 that I'm not sure if it's normal.
First of all, when I start the bike without choke, it's start and runs/idle fine (usually).However, if I start it with full choke, it will start at around 2k RPM as expected, but then it will drop to 1 to 1.5k after sitting for maybe 2 mins in that config. And if I put it down to half choke/no choke without give some throttle, the bike will die. I set my idle speed at around 1 to 1.1k.
The other thing is the fuel consumption, for the past couple tanks I got about low to mid 30s. My light usually coms on @ 140 miles. I do ride about 90 to 95% city which I know will have negative effect on MPG.
The only mod that I aware of is the aftermarket exhaust. I also find out that the Mixture screw plugs are not present. However, my bike does has a little buzz going on at around 3.5k RPM which I believe the OEM jet will create (correct?) I ran almost a can of Seafoam a tank ago and doesn't seem to help with either issue. If someone can shed some light on it I'll appreciate!
