Fuel line has an outer sheath and that is all the you can see. Line can still be kinked underneath the sheath. This is one of those <$20 mods that is easy to do and will eliminate this as a possible issue . . . Your problem could be any number of things including issues with FCE. FCE...

Bazzaz makes some nice stuff with some nice features. Traction control (for lots of extra $) for instance. That said their offering for the GenII is quite new and I have not seen any members here or on the FZ10a site give a proper report on it. On the other hand the Dynojet PC's (III first...

Atmospheric conditions and the type of dyno can have a significant impact on the HP numbers is produces. Uncorrected numbers even more so. 154 is probably a bit high (on average) for your bikes mods. Go here to see what the HP effects are to the different mods to the GenII Ivan's Performance...

Right on except I personally would get the full Yosh exhaust system as it provides large gains in the midrange and isn't too crazy expensive at round $750. I would also budget for a rear shock upgrade ($150 <adapter and R1 shock> to $800 <penske>) and seat improvements ($150 reworked by Mr Dirt...

Got my 06 for $3400 with 14K miles three years ago during the worst of the recession. I have added about $4k in upgrades and now have a machine that that has been transformed light years ahead (in terms of power, power delivery, handling, comfort, utility etc) of the stock GenII. See my...

Still don't see the point of moving the ECU. Ivan discourages the mod to reroute the wires out of the intake (says it doesn't do squat) and I would think similarly the that presence of the ECU isn't a performance issue at all. Its already got a factory engineered home safe and snug with the...

Yes, your first article GenI is stating crank horsepower while the second (GenII) is referring to rear wheel horse power. . . . In stock form the GenI has considerably more area under the curve in its dyno graph compared to a stock GenII. Once both are properly uncorked the two make similar...

Snatchy throttle (particularly on your 06) is not going to be cured by a Power Commander. You will need to address the fuel cut with either Ivan's FCE or better yet his ECU reflash. Go to the FZ10a site and read up on the reflash. That said, the fueling on your 06 can most certainly be...

It seems pretty clear for the GenII that given the immense improvements in power and driveability that are possible through bolt on mods that Yamaha didn't always have these criteria in mind when they designed the bike. An anchor of an exhaust system stuffed up with two cats and overly short...

Skeeny, Not sure I understand your use of the term "Fact." As already mentioned the airbox subject has been debated for years. PK's findings are good bit different than what some others have found including Ivan who certainly knows his stuff and really would have no reason (like for...

Aftermarket seats aren't going to help the heat issue much if any. I don't find any hot seat issues on my FZ1. My guess is that the lower coolant temps seen in bikes with the ignition and perhaps fueling mods ease the "hot seat" into a non issue. Some members have installed insulating...

FACT?? Like I already said this subject has been hashed over for over 6 years. Here's a thread that Ivan started many years ago on the subject. Read it if you like: Ivan's results - Airbox mod and BMC filter - FZ1OA Message Board

Bike has been around in essentially the same form since 2006. The air box subject has been debated in the forums for years. It is definitely NOT obvious that it is a waste of time as you indicate. The "awesomeness" you are experiencing could probably be improved significantly with additional...

I bought my 06 3 years ago for $3500. You are really paying 10 times that much in your part of the world for essentially the same bike (albeit new and naked)?? Damn!

I don't think his changes to the ECU require you to have a things like a full exhaust system or a modified air box / aftermarket filter. It's the Fuel map provided for the PCIII or V (which is still needed with his flash since he doesn't address fueling issues on the flash itself) is customized...

$7500 for an 09?? As already mentioned you can get leftovers with warranties for that price. Around here in the Mid atlantic you would be lucky to get $5500. NADA is worthless in this case and completely out of touch with reality. Go on Ebay and look for completed auctions to get some rough...

Plenty of info on this topic on both FZ sites. Search! . . . The EXUP on the GenII has no significant performance benefit but rather functions to help reduce the sound output of the exhaust system. You will not miss it at all when you install your slipon or full system. On the GenI and...

Go here: MORE SEATS - FZ1OA Message Board Mr Dirt Road really seems to do very nice job and has many happy customers on the other FZ site.

FYI, On my GenII, I rode a 180 series tire for a couple of years and then recently switched to the 190/55 size that has become standard fitment on many sportbikes. It turns in better and holds lovely traction while heeled over. Part of the problem with the 180 is that the FZ rim is just a bit...

A few thoughts . . . Frame cracking on the 06s (and some 07s) is a noted issue but it's occurence rate is small. Check the large welds in the side frame rails underneath the gas tank. You will be able to see the cracks if they are there. If the frame hasn't cracked yet there is good reason...
