What past features do you wish you had?

[WMU_BRONCO]

What features that you have had on previous bikes that you wish you had on your FZ1?

For me it would be a drain plug at the bottom of the forks like I had on an old 1983 Honda VT500. It doesn't make sense that you should have to take your front end apart to change fork oil. Drain plugs would be simple, cheap, and really convenient.

Hazard lights.

Hazard lights.

My Gen II has them oke:

The index finger button to flash high beams.

 

[PapaGeno21]

I can honestly say I don't think there is anything on my previous bikes that I don't have on this...

The saddlebags on the VTX were nice, but otherwise that bike was a slow tank.

Hazard lights
Fuel injection
ABS
Decent fuel economy

 

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Self canceling turn signals like my 1990 Virago.

 

[Hail]

A real helmet lock.

My 2000 Kawasaki ZR7 has Hazard Lights.

None of my previous bikes have had Self Canceling Turn Signals. But I could really use them. I forget to turm them off quite often.

I love my Virago, I have taken some good trips on the little girl.

Yea, those two would be nice, especially the helmet lock. Oh and while we're at it a gear indicator would be nice too

Hard side cases is what I miss from my ST1300.

I know I can add them, but damn the $$$$!

So does my 93 Suzuki VX800. I used to accidentally turn them on when I locked the steering!

Oh yea, the Gen1 has a REAL helmet lock!

A comfortable seat would be on the top of my list. My 95 GSXR had a great seat for all day trips. Still looking for a good seat for my gen 2.

A really Hot Brunette would be the only thing I could think of!:sinister:

Maintenance issues......I prefer nice simple mechanical accessories:jk:

You must have powerful legs! I would love to see video of someone kicking over a 4 cylinder. I push started one on flat ground once, but I was much younger.

Larger fuel tank! I think they can squeeze over 6 gallons on the bike somewhere.

Given the CD Strike seat cowl, a helmet lock would be nice but those are very cheap to buy and install.

Self-cancelling signals would be a nice feature. And, BMW heats their grips, why can't Yamaha do the same for us?

Because most FZ potential buyers will complain of the increase in cost won't be worth the added comfort.

For my nothing besides helmet lock on my previous bike I would love. That said, Fuel Guage and Hazards were a welcomed addition to my FZ.
