After 4.2k miles, the OEM tires had to go. The front was cupped and very wavy. Just can't seem to drive in a straight line. There was some left on the rear, but the front was so jacked that strangers noticed it from a distance and I could feel the handling deteriorate. I bought these Dunlops...

The chin faring and new seat make the bike for me. This is one of those threads that could become historical for a generation. Lots of answers already figured with decent pictures and technical information. My questions are: 1. Are you swapping ECUs or getting the new one reflashed? 2. Is it...

You need to make a video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyv-HR2hnXs&list=UU5arGHnQvc6_HiRNJy6DNKg

1. Did you do any other mods? 2. How was gas mileage impacted? 3. Which flash did you use?

1. Change the coolant. 2. Make sure the coolant reservoir behind the right side is filled up. I have been running a nearly empty reservoir until summer's heat forced me to do maintenance. Now we run perfectly.

It was car, but no additives. Look on the rear label.

Great timing since it has been 2k miles and one year since my last oil change. Got the 15w-50 on sale and changed this am. Bike top end is less noisy and shifts smoothly once again.

I did my own 600 mile service and that was 4k miles ago. Runs like a top. In fact, I did my own riser inserts and have not taken a bike to a dealer since 1997. The last trip I made was in January to get a quote in changing tires and they said $100 in labor per tire! Find an honest mechanic and...

Good thing Charles Manson didn't ride motorcycles.

The FZ1 is known as the gentleman's sport bike. It's not as popular as an R1, but a super sport is not practical for many people on the street which is why they ride an FZ1. Last month I was at a Honda, Kaw, Yam, Suz dealer and sat on 25+ new bikes. A couple of cruisers were comfortable, but...

Offer $6500 and skip the warranty. These bikes are nearly bullet proof. I paid $6500 for my new 2009, 0 miles.

Sure doesn't look chinese.

Should be easy to make new friends with all those bikes.

First thing I thought of when I read V-4 was Honda. Turns out it is a Honda. That particular motor is glass smooth, reminds me of the old Magnas. They can take the telelever fork and throw it in the dumpster. It's unnecessarily complicated with less feedback for more $ and only slightly...

+1 on the Vette' , but it is a different personality. The point in the video of Japanese reliability has been my #1 criteria when purchasing a vehicle since 1987. Then I think about styling and MPG a close 2 and 3. We have been spoiled with our FZ1s and I think a 911 might be more like a...

The 370 is more practical and less expensive to maintain. If you have a hard-on for a Porshe, why not, but I can think of many other things to spend $ on. A Porsche can be a money pit if you don't know what you're buying. However, don't listen too much because I prefer luxury cars over sport...

I have the same bike in the same color. I added an aftermarket seat and 1.5" riser inserts to reduce neck cramps. How is the touring screen? I agree the suspension could use some work, especially two up, but is much better than my previous Kaw 500r and Honda VT100 and nice and tight solo. I...
