Good afternoon guys.
I've been riding street since 1977, small and large bikes, (as well as an 04 FJR-which was just way too "HOT" , physically).
I currently have an 07 FZ6 which I'm selling (and have some bites). I've owned it since 2009, did my share of mods, etc.
I have bar risers / set backs, open Scorps, etc (ie, don't do the lean forward on the wrist position-so risers would be on the list).
Question, as the FZ1 seems (engineering wise) very similar to my 6, what if ANY ISSUES need to be addressed?
I'm sure I'm looking at Spencers doing his seat mod (already contacted him), bar risers among other farkles
(helmet locks, power outlet, 590 GPS stem mount, etc).
The bike will be used for pleasure only, (no commuting) but would like to be able to do a LD trip(maybe 500 miles if need be).
I don't care for Power commanders(one more thing to break) but have heard a re-map helps drive-ability (does it hurt the crappy mileage?)
BTW, I have looked at other Yamaha's (Yamaha guy actually), but prefer the simplicity (and familiarity of the FZ1 with my FZ6), no ABS,
no linked brakes, etc..
Thanks, Scott
