Yamaha Road Race Leather Jacket, Pants and Gloves I will be attaching photos this evening. Thanks

I originally want to make my 07 a high performance street/track bike, but I bought a GSX-R 750 for a track day bike, after riding 750 on the track I wanted one for street sport ride and my FZ1 for commuting/long distance riding but my wife wants me to sell the FZ1. A picture of the pipe is on...

I have had issues with chain lube fling or chain rust (Bel Ray Blue has worked the best form me but it collects a ton of dirt) to point that I have resorted to only wiping a clean dry chain with a WD40 soaked rag. I hate spending two or three hours every few weeks to clean my chain (and the the...

Wow! I was at a track day this summer and Buell had one serious demo rig, you could take their bikes out on the track and they hired pro racers to take track riders, their girl friends, wives, kids, anyone, for very high speed rides around the track on 1125Rs, I thought this was a good idea...

Throttle Response Issues On my 07 I do not notice the problem if I am riding aggressively, I notice it if I am in town using 3K to 3.5K as my shift points, 4K or above is just fine. Also cornering with a decent lean angle and rpm in the same 3.5K range, any throttle change can result in a...

Can I get some recommendations for the optimum front and rear tire pressures for both performance and longevity? The stickers on the bike and the owners manual differ on front tire pressure. In general the numbers seem on the high side (38 to 42 psi front, 42 psi rear). I weigh 170 and I ride...

Disconnect of EXUP on Stock Muffler I run my 07 without the EXUP cables and the bike runs perfectly fine, with just a slightly louder low RPM growl, my only concern is if the spring gets weak could the exhaust pressure cause the valve to flap or close? Thanks

I recently took off the EXUP cables from the stock exhaust, the EXUP butterfly valve is spring loaded and opens completely up once the cables are removed. This gives the engine a slightly deeper, lower rumble at idle and performance seemed snapper down low without any issues near redline...

Your setup look real clean. I have a Garmin eTrex Venture HC and use the Garmin handlebar mount and it works great, however it doesn't give turn-by-turn directions. The FZ1 has enough handlebar space to attach the mount without interfearing with anything, unlike my O8' GSX-R 750 which has no...

I have the Grave Fender Eliminator, it is a quality unit, I fished out and rethreaded the turn signal wires, not easy but you just need to be patient. the stock turn signals look a little out of place but they are pulled way in out of your way, Graves makes LED turn signals that fit the bracket...

I have the Yamaha GYTR Gel Seat and the Stock Seat, I am 5'10" 170# and I really think the Stock Seat for me is better than the GYTR, for one thing you sit probably an inch lower with the stocker, which does not sound like much but for more aggressive sport riding that one inch makes a big...

I am debating on using synthetic oil or not, I typically ride somewhat on the fast side and change oil (and filter) often (1.5K miles), 20w50 in summer, 10w40 in winter. Is it worth while to pay the extra for a 10w50 synthetic and extend the change interval? And what brand is best?
