I am again considering purchasing a Gen2 FZ1 and am in the process of researching mods and upgrades available for it. I researched all of this years ago when I was considering the gen2 so
I am pretty familiar with the issues with the bike and the proven solutions one of which is the exhaust replacement. If I remember correctly the Yoshimura full system was the best system to help correct the midrange flatspot and Ivan was selling them from his web site. That Yoshimura R77 system seems to be discontinued now though so I contacted Yoshimura and they verified that unfortunately... I also contacted Graves and they have also discontinued their full system for the FZ1.
The only system I have found is the Arrow but reviews have shown that the Arrow system does not provide the midrange power of the Yosh. Is there any currently available full exhaust that will work well with the Gen 2 FZ1?
I haven't purchased the bike yet but I will probably go with a later version as Yamaha seemed to be constantly evolving the ECU tuning over the years. I am aiming for Supersport Touring for 2 up, getting older and my back doesn't get along with clipons anymore. I want it to be very smooth running with no major flatspots. We have no tuners where I live so I will probably end up sending my ECU to Ivan after I do any intake and exhaust mods. does Ivan do custom mapping on a dyno if you bring the bike to his shop? I'm not familiar with his shop and equipment and hes not local but I would take a trip there if custom tuning is an option.
