Worth a watch especially @1:30 Twist the Throttle- Yamaha Pt. 2 - YouTube

Sorry if it came off as an attack. Generally try to stay on the fence when topics of oil, tyres, chain lube and such spring up... I was attempting to be neutral and just state the facts as I saw them at the factory. It was in no way meant to bring into doubt your professionalism, credentials or...

Your Yamaha engine was assembled, put in your bike, wheeled around to the dyno, givien a couple minutes to warm up and then put on the dyno for an idle test and then a full sweep high rpm power check. If everything looks right, it is sent off for crating. Yep, the manufacturers know best.

But the MAP is only for below 4000rpm or so, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thonk the FZ1 lacks an air pressure sensor in the intake so it wouldn't be able to compensate for any ram-air and would just run lean at higher speeds.

The local Dyno near me is a Fuche and it calculates for drivetrain and ambient conditions power loss. My 07 showed 151hp stock and 173 with airbox mod, small flies, FCE, pcIII, gutted cat and slipon. Just the rearwheel reading was good for 143hp with full mods. I'd guess Motorrad is using the...

Great bike +location combo. Congrats on the win!

I have the same boots and they are very narrow in the toe box. Thankfully they use a cardboard toe box and when VERY wet and worn for a LONG time, they will conform to your foot shape about 75%. It took 5hrs in driving rain but when I got home they fit pretty good. Then just thoroughly dried and...

Actually have a bunch of friends riding GS, K, R, and by and large have no problem and love them. The 2 I've seen that failed were on tour and and ended those guys tours. Not to mention the hefty rebuild although 1 was under warranty. Having ridden shafties I'm a fan until they fail and shaft...

Looks good. What's next?

Ever seen BMW shaft drive crap itself or ridden one on the way out? I'll stick with a relatively cheap n easy to replace chain thanks.

Awesome! Will definitely have a victory bagel for this one! Miss Fuzz deserves a valve clearance for her contribution, too.

How about posting it up in the more common threads

Thanks for getting things back on line Admin/Hail. Liking the simpler pre-vote photo viewing layout, too.

!!Fantastic!! Thanks for the votes all. I'll tell Ms.Fuzz of her unparalleled stardom tonight. I'm sure she'll hardly be able to keep the front wheel down :D Cheers to fz1-forum and the fz1 community for having somewhere to share and admire each others photos.

Climbing a pass the other night and the throttle died. Got it going again but the throttle wouldn't roll smooth or past 20% without a LOT of muscle. A quick inspection after crawling home didn't show much. But the Rizoma cable retainer is looking...worn. Was late so left it there. Tried the...

What a great start to the photo taking year! Some fantastic pics there :tup:
