Hi guys, I'm putting my bike up for sale and would love to see it go to a forum member. There's only 5160 mile on it! New tires last year to! I linked the add below. I'm North of Dallas. I'm asking $4500.00 hit me up if your interested. Thanks Eric Yamaha FZ1 2003 !!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to stay in the FZ family don't over look the Gen 1. The riding position for me any way was was much more natural than the Gen 2 I'm 6'3". MPG is better, all though I have never seen anything over 39mpg. But my commutes are short with a lot of on off throttle. I'm doing the Raven...

When drilling the slides which size do I use and why? The wright up says "#32 or 2.7mm" When I looked them up on the drill chart they are not the same size. Or should I just stay between the two sizes? Since the two are close. I was thinking 7/64" witch is in the middle but to the smaller end...

1978 XS-650 I picked up for $75.00! then cost me $800.00 before I moved on Loved that bike though and would do It again if I found a straight one!

I read through this a few years ago when I had my Waggie. It's a post on International Full Size Jeep Forum and is Still being added to. The guy went all the way with powder coating so it would coast more than $300.00 but it will show you what goes into it. Eastwood HotCoat Powdercoating...

Those XS Bikes have a huge following. I started on an XS650 I picked up for $75.00. Then went to an XJ1100 witch was the blow out model of the XS1100, Yamaha put out to end the Model. I all ways preferred the XS style better though. The motor is a beast but the trans has issues so pick one up as...

FZ1Dan Is the a padded back rest? Where did you did you find it?I have the stock grab rails on my 03 but will be putting a rack on for sure. I just bought the Coretech 3 peace set and need to put the top box/bag on and still have a place for a passenger.
