What did you do to your FZ today?

[Hamie]

Rode to Good Luck Cafe for lunch with a friend...

 

[fzdnasr14]

Took the suppressor out of the slip on just to see how loud it is, holy catfish is that thing loud. I put the suppressor back in.

I found out the hard way how for I can go on a tank of gas.

AIS block off plates installed, pipercross air filter installed, slip on attached... Was doing all of this at night and then the outside light broke... Completed in pitch black

Went for a short ride to test my Fren Tubo brake lines. Spent some time in a parking lot doing "emergency" stops so I could get used to the new feel. Last few changes I've made to the bike have made me fall in love with him all over again. :cloud9:

 

[Hail]

Got a proper bath. Don't think the FZ had a real bath since our texas Hill Country ride in April.

Rode in a 220 miles benefit run for a local guy with cancer. Averaged about 50 mpg.

Then removed the center stand.

Well, not all today, but fairly recently:

Installed Fuze-Block Power Distribution Center
Replaced SW-Motech tank bag (from Twisted Throttle with newer model thanks to a generous return policy and serious fabric fading)
Re-wired power to tank bag to take advantage of the Fuze-Block
Added heated grips
Replaced Fuel Line (Fuel Line Mod)​

 

[FZ6R-Billy]

Odometer went to 10,000 miles and replaced the tires with Pirelli Angels. Ready for the next 10k.

EXUP valve Lub

Today I finally disassembled , lubed and adjusted the EXUP valve on my 2004 Z1, it was bone dry but in excellent condition, so clean with no hint of soot, the bike is stock & lean but runs great, will install the 4* timing advance after the bike cools down a little.
I hate working on this bike everything is so crammed.:wtf:

 

[theWolfTamer]

Congrats on the install!

Nothing, waxed the 700S though. Man she's looking good with that new paint. Been riding it every day.

 

[Damn Yankee]

developed a slight skip of idle over the weekend, at 25K
Changed 4 plugs/ inspected coils
good chain clean and adjust....
clean off bugs. repeat. :tup:

Put on my R6 shock (Thanks Stretch) and my 130mm dog bones. The rear is greatly improved. Now to fine tune it. I'm in the ball park so it shouldn't take a whole lot of work.

FZ8 riser on gen-1 FZ1

Today installed the shorter FZ8 handle bar mount on my 2004 Z1 with superbike bar, what a difference, love the increased control & the relaxed riding position.

a while back I tried a one inch riser on top of the stock lower mount & was surprised how more difficult controling the bike became & I removed it the same day, my thinking was a one inch riser with a superbike bar will do the trick but found out it made it worse. the lower rise of the FZ8 mount made a very positive difference.
Yamaha Part # 3Y6-23442-00-P2

Love White!

 

[rth1959rth]

Set the sag on the front to 30mm and the rear to 32mm. This was as close as I could get to 30mm on the rear with the adjustment notches on the shock. So, now it is time for the compression and rebound fine tuning.

Fix on the Carbon fibre yoke sticker today!=D

 

[Hammer47]

added more carbon fiber...

Added more carbon fiber by Leo Vince and a wash for my evening ride:woot:
