    FZ1 -07 Turbo (pictures)

    I have no idea how you are going to ride that thing when you let her loose. I have riden many Turbo Apex's (330hp) and Turbo Nytro's (220hp) snowmobiles and it takes every bit of weight I have leaning forward to keep the ski's down. Sleds are a different bread as when climbing you want the...

    Yamaha Crossplane Triple Concept

    Yamaha already has a 1050cc triple......it is in their Nytro snowmobile and is a great motor. In fact on that motor you can get from Yamaha either a MC express super charger of turbo to bump the power to the 225hp range. About time is shows up in a bike.

    Low Oil Light Keeps Coming On, Need Advice.

    I get this when oil level is mid in the sight glass, top it up to top of glass and it stops. Mine also comes on after riding for a couple of minutes, usually on cooler days when oil is still cool. I am thinking the sensor is giving a false reading as seeing that the oil is thicker it is...

    Anyone Have Experience with Tire Insurance?

    I posted a pic on this site last year of my plugged tire, after about 500 miles the tires started to split at the plug........was good enough reason for me never to plug again unless it is in an emergency situation to get you to a shop

    Tune Up!

    I am thinking you can probably find the info on Pat's Motorcycle page Pat's Motorcycle Page How are your tires? I had a high speed wobble and could not figure out what was causing it, turned out to be a worn rear tire.

    Rattling Noise

    I will have to check this as I did have the tank off. I also noticed that my spare plastic side stand disk was moved around in the tail section and was against my fender, I wraped it back up and have not heard the noise. I checked brakes, head bearings all good. Was thinking maybe EXUP as I...

    Rattling Noise

    Thanks....I know brake pads are about 50% worn as just checked them and being on the brake does not stop noise. I will check head bearing but was ok a year ago. Will keep you posted, but it sounds like marbels in the gas tank

    Rattling Noise

    It is driving me crazy.....just started about a week ago and comes and goes, when I am coming to a stop there is a clanking / rattle noise that sounds like it is something on the gas tank. Of course when I am stopped cannot find it, or when I take my helmet off it is not doing it. Also noticed...
