That Fender Mustang looks like a good amp, although I have never tried one. If you do more research and decide to look at all tube amps, Blackstar makes some great sounding little tube amps the HT-1 or HT-5 but they don't have the built in effects like the Fender Mustang. There are lots of...

Do you remember what size vacuum caps you used for this? I checked at my local auto parts store and they come in a few different sizes.

One of my carburetor coolant hoses has a pin hole leak. The hose I need is the one that attaches to the left most carburetor on the outside of the carb. I was wondering which part number I would need to order on the Yamaha microfiche. I was thinking either number 60 or 61? Thanks!

Still for sale, I dropped the price a few hundred $$.

It seems to start fine when warm. I will try starting without the choke next time. Thanks!

Hi, I have an 04 FZ1 and been having problems when starting. When the bike is cold, with the choke on, it takes at least 3 pushes of the starter to get it going and I have to crank the throttle a little, or it wouldn't start at all. Does this sound like a carb issue or something else? The...

Sad to say, I have to sell my 2004 FZ1 Gen I. Bike is located in Bismarck, ND. Only 6400 miles. New rear tire installed this spring. There are 2 small dents on the tank, both from a previous owner. Throttle lock cruise control. Battery tender cable installed. One tooth smaller countershaft...

I really enjoy working on bikes, but like to know what I am doing before I start so I don't wreck anything.

After watching the video, I found it was fairly easy to do. Thanks!

I just purchased a 2005 FZ1. Great Bike! I would like to inspect/replace the air cleaner. Just wondering what the simplest way is to move the tank out of the way to access the air cleaner? I have the manual but it isn't much help! Thanks!

I picked up my 2005 FZ1 last week and let me just say it is awesome. I paid $3500 for it and it only has 3700 miles. It does everything the FZ6 does but better. The riding position is more comfortable, the engine vibration is less, acceleration is quicker, I love the analog gauges-looks and...

The bike that I am looking at has been at this dealership all summer. They were asking $3995 and I told them all I had to spend was $3500, so they said they would take my offer. The NADA places the value between $3400 and $4500, so if it is as nice as the photo, I think it is a pretty good deal.

Here is the 2005 FZ1 I am looking at. I am going to try and test drive it tomorrow. It is in a town about 100 miles from here. Not crazy about the exhaust. Is there anything that can be done to shorten it, etc?

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to test drive the FZ1 this week, it might be in my garage by the end of the week :sport12:

Hi, I am looking to purchase either an FZ6 or FZ1. I love the sport touring motorcycles! I can get a really good deal on either an 2004 or 2005 FZ1 for around $3500. Just wondering if there are any cons to getting these years. I know they are carbureted instead of FI, but just looking...
