Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm selling my FZ1, to get something more suited for dirt roads. I really love the bike, it has been amazing, but I only have room for one bike for me and one for my wife. Here is my ad from the SF Bay Area craigslist. 2007 Yamaha FZ1 - Cobalt Blue - Tour/Commute/Sport - Well...

I have a BRZ. I picked it up on 5/31 after I pre-ordered it in March. I love it. It's way more practical than my old MR2 Spyder (MRS). I have driven with 2 passengers (3 total people including driver), several times, without any comfort issues. The truck can just fit two full-size...

Geno, Where did you end up setting the length of the shock and the position of the forks in the triple clamps? Are you using a 190/50 or 190/55 rear tire? Thanks!

Looks like our housing is external. There are tons of universal external thermostat housings out there that accept more common (GM, etc) automotive thermostats that have many different temps available. Best case would be that there are other thermostats that fit our housing, otherwise the...

Yeah, we are not faced with the same problems here on 45 degree nights and mornings. The stock cooling system does it's job really well actually. Tonight was pretty cold, and the temp was solid 160 with barely any fluctuation. This tells me that it the thermostat were 165, that it would do...

Things are not always designed perfectly from the factory. Hence the need for revisions on newer model years, or people getting good results from tuning/mods, etc.. Yamaha engineers have budgets, design constraints and compromises. It's common in the automotive world to run thermostats +/- 10...

Yeah, changing the t-stat is no problem... just need to find the right part!

First, a few notes: - It looks like the stock Gen II thermostat is 160 deg F. - On cooler days, it seems like a I am barely at 160. - On the other end of the spectrum, the fans definitely come on a little to late (more reactive, than proactive). - In general the range of operating temps is...

Thanks. This is one thing I am concerned about. We can obviously benefit from more ignition timing advance, especially in the lower gears. But, how high are they going? They can run more on higher octane.

Hellgate, What octane fuel did you have the flash tuned for? What octane are you running? Thanks!
