Hi Im Dave

Just got my 2006 FZ1s
live in Australia NSW on the central coast. Using the bike as a 200km a day commuter...but for fun as well....been a while since i owned a Yamaha, but have a big smile on my first after my first ride in to work.

First thing i noticed was that i can't set the clock. its 3 hours out. Any body got any ideas?

Unfortunately the bike didn't come with a manual.

Cheers

Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum! Congrats on getting the bike too!

Here's a digital copy of the 2007 FZ1S owners manual. I couldn't find the 06 book. yamahaownershandbook.com.au The clock setting instructions will be in there.

Oh and I'm up past newcastle, in Port Stephens.

Hello everybody.....

Glad to be one of the members here. I already introduce myself in the new thread. I'm Marl from Malaysia. My only ride is the FZ1 beside one moped. I used to owned a CBR400 & CB400 Super Four & stucked with 400cc for quite sometimes.. :rant: Haha...

Then I'm in 'hibernate' :zzz:mode after sold the CB4... (the last bike I have that time) to fully concentrate on my study...... After for about 6 years, my feeling to be a biker again raised... :laugh2: Just like the Transformers - Rise of the Fallen... lolup

I got 2 choices either the FZ1 or the VFR800. After doing some research, the FZ1 is the winner. I really care about choosing the right bike since in my country's tax for imported bike is high & we need to pay higher price. This FZ1 sell for about USD25k in my country. Some dealer even sell more than that & some less than that. But I think I had made the right choice.

Sorry friends... my english is not that good... :scared: hope you all can understand... :disturbed :eek:

Ride safe....:sport12:

Hello My name is Devon. I just bought a new 09 FZ1 Black/Grey. Previous bike was a yamaha Radian (1986) 600 cc and i've been wanting an FZ1 for about 4 years now. Waiting to get the bike home from the twin cities. I've been making many plans for upgrades such as exhaust therefore I've decided to Join the forum.

Thanks

New Owner

:DHowdy,

I'm a rider from San Antonio. Have had many bikes and am down to a 05' R1200GS and just picked up an 07 FZ1. I'm a member of ADVrider and a few other forums. I am all about MODs and Information. Right now my bike is unmolested..........I'm ready to start molesting:D

I've already ordered Sliders, Fender Eliminator, Radar LED display.

I need a windshield and am thinking about doing FZ1inNH's installation of the POD lights. I didn't notice if my blinkers are running lights too.....are they? I'm at work right now and can't access it. Anyways, I'm glad to become a member and look forward to all the info and advice I can get/ give on this site!

I'm up to ride anytime too....let me know if anyone is out in the Tx Hillcountry.

Hello all,

Thinking about going back to an inline four. Last Yammy I owned was a Seca 750 bought new in '81. Man I had fun on that bike. But got bit by the twin and Adventure bug.

Welcome to all you fellow riders! Another 6 on board with us here. Arlo, thats a sweet GPZ. Do you still own it? A friend of mine had the "Turbo" model and that thing was a monster!
 
Hello all!
My names Chris,
I got my FZ1 a few months ago in February, absolutely fell in love with it! But something was off about the front end to me. Then i saw the FZ1-N and i knew i had to have it! So i scrounged up all the pennies i could and finally got it, and installed it yesterday! That mixed with a Yoshi slip, and a K&N drop in with the airbox mod on It is a whole new animal!! I will get some more photos as the new bar and levers come in!
