    This is disturbing.

    Both parties are at fault. The bikers set out to be malicious by shutting down the highway to stunt. The SUV driver didn't want to be stopped in traffic so he put himself in the middle of them. He rear ended a bike, he then drove over more bikes and riders "monster truck" style and fled the...

    What rpm's do you ride in?

    :doh2: Thanks for the replies, I guess I should have been more specific and asked what rpm you "cruise" in or enjoy riding in the most. I was also hoping to hear from a few more members of Ivans reflash and how that effects where you need to keep it for optimum performance. Unless its a...

    East central IL-West central IN

    I think you will love them old Biker, def provides that much needed rest for the right hand. Knowing about the spacers is half the battle, but let us know how it goes. I have the stock bars but aftermarket grips (not sure what they are). But in hindsight strating with non and working from...

    East central IL-West central IN

    They are not difficult at all, but it does take some trial and error. It comes with two vital parts. A plastic shim that goes under the grip that has a lip the lock comes in contact with to lock it in place. If you don't have it, it will be a pita. It also comes with about 6 washers in different...

    East central IL-West central IN

    If its too hot for gear its too hot to ride! Its pretty flat over here, lake springfield is pretty small but its twisty, from there i like to head to lake sangchris.

    Thanks Troy, luckily there were no injurys for anyone involved. I agree it should be ones choice. Not wearing a helmet/seat belt puts no one in danger but Yourself. However I think your silly (being nice) if you don't.

    Lead by example!

    The unpredicted rain this morning was sent from God, to save my Dads life! He rides to work everyday, except today because of the rain. On his way in this morning a car turned left in front of him with zero reaction time. He t-boned a full size van at 55 miles an hour. If he was on his bike he...

    WTB: Gen II Mirror block off plates

    I am looking for a used or home made set of mirror block off plates for my 06 FZ1. I have shopped around on the net and it seems JDA Customs has the best price for new ones, but I fugured I would look here first. Im not picky any color or material will work for me, however I would like them to...

    Kick Stand Problem?

    Thanks Cobalt, sure enough it was missing #5. Not sure why it would be missing, I don't see any reason to have taken the stand off at any time. I just used a washer i had as replacement. It does stand up taller now too, thanks again. I was starting to think maybe they were all this way, and i...

    Kick Stand Problem?

    While I was WD40ing my kick stand I noticed it has quite a bit of left to right play, I'm talking 2" maybe a little more. It seems wrong to me, but I cant get the bolt any tighter. It has never appeared to be leaning to far. My ceneter stand is gone, instead I use a paddock stand. Is yours like...

    Well the FZ went down

    My Dad had just gotten his first new motorcycle in 1999, it was a Honda VTX 1800. He had always had used 754s before this and was really happy to have his first new bike. Well i decided in all my wisdom as a 17 year old I would ride it! I mean i ride dirt bikes so how hard could it be? Well I...

    New Custom Seat from "Dirt Road"

    :+1: for Eddie and the DirtRoad seat mod. Excellent customer service and superior work. I had my seats back in 6 days from when i shipped them! Eddie is a great guy to work with, highly recommended. I have had experience on both the stock and a new Corbin, my arse was killing me after a long...

    Air Box Mod Question

    What he said! I feel like it evened out the power by spreading it through the rpms better. If there was any loss it was minimal and overshadowed by the increase and smoothness. If your in doubt just zip tie them open and if you don't like it a simple snip will put it back. However i must say...

    How old are you?

    I am 30 years young, got my FZ1 two years ago at 28. Been riding in the dirt since I was 8. Got my first street bike and motorcycle license at 17, it was a Yamaha 400 Special. I had heard people refering to the FZ1 as a geezer bike but never thought of it as that.................until...

    Air Box Mod Question

    If you decide to get back in there and finish the air box mod (which I suggest) you ought to zip tie or pull the secondary flies. You will not be disapointed! It will give you better throttle response. Your fuel/air ratio will still be ok, andin no danger of hurting the bike. Then when you do...
