    Strange high pitch vibration from the front, maybe brakes?

    Its a different vibration than that, another member told me that you can fix that vibration using some sort of kitchen ties. I believe mine is the dust cover , or absence of, the dust cover on my front brake. There is a thin sheet of metal that I believe keeps hitting the housing.

    Strange high pitch vibration from the front, maybe brakes?

    yea, Ive set some time out today to do just that, odds are its just a clip or something but it is definitely somewhere before the triple so there not a lot it could be.

    Comfort

    you have probably already found this out but where you sit on the seat makes a big difference in posture, I have an aftermarket seat which does help but don't expect a different bike after you get one. try a different seating position, but (and I'm being dead serious about this) make sure you...

    Strange high pitch vibration from the front, maybe brakes?

    When I bought the bike a couple of weeks ago there wasn't any noise now every 5 minutes or so from around 4-5k there is a high pitch vibration almost like loose metal tapping each other very quickly. Anyone else have this problem and have a solution???? PS: It happens on acceleration but it...

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    there are notches that prevent the movement of the parts you mention and I really don't want to cut anything....I don't know how permanently I want to attach the mirrors. Thats what I was afraid you would say, Im trying not to cut anything.... but you never know.

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    nope, though you can't see directly behind you. you can see whats in the left and right lane behind you and anything 50+ Ft directly behind you, the view is underneath the arms.

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    Are the mods worth it?

    I'm debating doing the mods on my 08 fz1..... I just don't know if its going to be worth it, when I modded my old drz it completely changed the bike from a granny scooter to a race ready track bike. But I can't see these mods being that effective.... I know there is a bunch and I have the means...

    Any have this tailight?

    I just installed the same thing on my fz1 a couple days ago, the turn signals are pretty dim, seeable but they arent going to grab anyones attention in the middle of the day, the other lights, (running and brake) are ok at best, all in all this plus a tail elim makes it look much better

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    That's exactly what my old man said. He didn't like the unfinished look, as for the wires you can tuck those away pretty nicely. If you wanted it to be permanent, then you can make to so you couldn't see any more wires than you did before. The main cluster of wires fits very nicely between the...

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    My thinking was turn it on about a mile before I get home to help cool it off before putting it in an already warm garage. I just cant work in there if its 100+ degrees haha it would probably be a small difference in temp. anyway...

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    Has anyone hooked up an auxiliary radiator fan switch, Ive noticed the bike has been getting a little worm 200+ up to 223 deg. to me this is a little warm and Ive noticed the fan kick on and would like to mount a switch on the bars to turn it on a little before I pull into the garage so its not...

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    this is really just a temporary thing but i believe it can be permanent if someone wanted it to be, the stock fairing has slits in it that would allow air and rain to pass threw and hit the gauge from the back side so even though it would be more exposed this way, I don't think there would be a...

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    yea it kinda looks like a bug or something with those giant mirrors, Im definitely going to have to pick up bar ends or something if i stick with this set-up. on a different note, taking the fairing off stopped an annoying vibration at 5k so thats good.

    So I did something about the upper fairing.....

    What i did took no cutting, fabricating, rewiring, anything, just removal of parts and repositioning of parts. so tell me what you think. Also everything is just as functional as before, mirrors turn signals ect..
