Depends on what type of dent it is, i.e. thickness of the metal, is it a crease, etc. I can see this working well on something like a car door panel or fender with a dent that's just pushed in.

I think you might be one of the first forum members to actually get your hands on those tires... From all the reviews that I have seen they seem like great tires for the money.

:wow: Bike looks fantastic. The '89 FZR1000 in those colors is one of my favorite bikes. If I could find one in that condition it would be mine in a heartbeat. Thanks for posting that pic :tup:

Nice bike Johnny! Congrats :D I understand about not getting another FZ1... Hey you should go and get this FZR1000 while you're at it ;) 1988 Yamaha FZR 1000

Well in my experience i;'s not the actual shift lever that flexes, but the mounting point of the whole rearset. Here's a quick and easy mod to "fix" it and it will improve the shifting... http://www.998cc.org/forum/fz1-technical/1204-stiffen-rubber-mounted-rearsets-cheap-fix.html I went with...

Good to hear you're making some progress. I wasn't able to do much last week as the heat was just unbearable here on the East Coast and Saturday I decide to ride the YZF1000 instead of work on the RZ350. Now that I saw your post about your grips, mine came in a swell so I'll probably get those...

Congrats of the purchase of the FZ1. It's a great all around bike. Now show us some pics of those EXUPs :D

My vote is in :)

I have not seen it done either. I don't think the lower cowl will work with those bars in place.

Pete, I know J-B Weld is tough stuff, but I don't know about it's use in this instance. Brazing those holes shut with a bronze rod and a torch is a piece of cake...well if you have the proper equipment. I would take it to a shop and have it done. It will take two minutes...

Wow Pete! Looks like you'll be busy for a while :D

That's a good mod for your Gen I, but the OP has a Gen II.

Ok, I'm in ;)

Send me a PM when you're around and we'll go have a drink one day :tup:

Well rode 140 miles in about three hours this morning. It was getting way too hot to be on the bike by the time I was heading back home. Every time I take this bike out it puts a mile on my face. Doesn't have the power of the FZ1, but it has more than enough to get you into serious trouble ;)...

Congrats of the FZ1 and welcome to the forum. Bike looks great! I just love red/white paint combos.

Doubt there's anything wrong with clutch or transmission. I wouldn't worry about it too much until you put some more mileage on it.

Thanks Billy! If I decide to sell them you got first dibbs :D

Well today the YZF finally came out of hibernation. So far this year I had only ridden the FZ1 and the Hawk GT. Made sure the battery was fully charged and she fired right up. Quick cleaning and she's all ready to go for a little ride tomorrow morning: Also installed some new black gel grips...

Mine is the same and actually got a little worse after I did all the mods. It helped to raise the idle to 1200-1300 RPM.
