Congrats! The blue always looks great in the sun.

An Invincible FJR, the Relentless Rider and the Yamaha Factory Tour! tougeexpress / June 20, 2014 Not often a bike rolls over 200,000miles (320,000kilometres). Even rarer for all that riding to be under one rider. Similarly rare is a visit to the production line that pumped out the bike...

Had a similar issue after my bikes 1st good burnout. We bump started it and it ran fine but wouldn't shift with the clutch so rode it for several minutes then dip shifted up the gears and blipped down several times and the clutch worked itself free. Then, was able to engage and disengage the...

Does it all line up?

I searched high n low for an R1 top triple for upright bars with no success. That would have made things ALOT easier. Still searching actually... Bar end mirrors? Great. they take some getting used to but definitely sorted out the airflow problem I was having around my helmet at higher...

Alao couldn't find FZ1 parts so used 06 triples/yokes top and bottom to match the forks. Remember there being a bearing oddness that having the R1 and FZ1 bearings on hand fixed. Or was it dust seal? Anyway, switched to the Allballs taper bearings and haven't looked back. Most work was getting...

Nice tyre in all conditions. Great cold conditions grip! Wear is sensitive to low air pressure.

What weight is the shock set up for? How many kms on it, roughly? Model no. ?

Flushed and changed oil and filter. Gave it a thorough clean. Cleaned and oiled chain. Replaced broken clutch lever. Pulled ECU for the flash.

This may not make me too popular but it needs to be said... I understand where yammy is coming from. The 'how could they?' And 'I'll never buy another yammy' talk is not good for anyone. Least of all the creator of our bikes which WE bought and praise. The owners of this site are walking a...

Seeing how quickly heated grips lose thier heat when not wrapped with a hand, the heating of the lever may be worse as it has no insulation. Interested to see what you come up with though.

Sorry Hellgate, never been to the US. Guam doesn't count, right? I'm from Australia so can only use that as an example. I've found that restaurants there tend to focus on high-end or locally acceptable tastes. Sushi and teriyaki for example. If you pay enough, the quality is good and the taste...

Me too Stretched. He had a lot of pain in the leg squished between the Suzi and the FZ1. Seemed nothing was broken and being the trouper he is, he kept walking on it and moving to get the good juices flowing to repair any damage. Adding a photo of the battered Suzi. Also, Bro reports: The...

Local wild boar, thin udon noodles, green salad, pickles, multi-grain rice and an egg. Delicous and great rider fuel!

The sky was blue and after a coast run with a sprinkle of snow, we headed inland and found more snow. A lot more! Got a little snow fever which lead us to this friggin enermous temple All that snow burned up a lot of energy so we went to a local old style eatery. Initially had the...

Agree with Loosenut and Blanchy, you can swap internals easily enough so keep an eye out for a used one. Are both the front and back halves of the meter case melted?

Gotta love the fact that it's even possible to ride alongside snow like this Sometimes there's just too much! Some thngs the FZ1 can't do But all's good Especially when you have this to wash away the stress Most of the crew stayed together for half the ride in 2012 And here's a favorite...

Mmm, photos... not really time for photos on this one. Maybe on the return leg. Let me see what I can dig up from previous years...

This'll be our 4th official local coast to coast. For the last 2 years we've had over a dozen riders. 2011 was a quiet affair as it was only a couple of months after the big earthquake and tsunami.
