    Advice from Dirt Bike Riders

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody knew of a good bike to get for desert/dirt riding. My sister has a Razr and her husband has a quad. They just moved down to AZ and it might be fun to go out with them. Is there a good bike to get with relatively low maintenance to go out to places...

    FZ1S 1st Ride - What to expect.

    I'm just gonna post this here as a friendly reminder about what happens when you don't control your right wrist. This was my first morning with my 2009 Fz1. I did a "hold my GoPro and watch this" with my buddy. That's me in front of the camera acting like an idiot. Motorcycle Crash: How to...

    Need advice

    I believe 2001-2005 it was the same engine, etc on the bike. Considered Gen 1's.

    Found an Aussie on a Naked Fz1

    That's ridiculous. Aussie land seems to be an even bigger police state than the US.

    I need some advice

    The burned smell is new, it smells like bad exhaust, either a little rich or too full of carbon build up. My mileage has never been above 30-32 in the commute city/hwy blend I do. It has dropped slightly in the last few hundred miles as well as lows as 27 mpg. I'm planning on taking it in...

    I need some advice

    Ok, for the last 500 miles I've started to notice a new burnt smell. Could that be a valve going? Shit, I better get it done next week.

    I need some advice

    Throttle body sync they said they'd do at the same time. coolant change happened 14,000 miles ago (8 months), air filter replaced 2,000 miles ago, engine goes to fast idle immediately upon starting. Great idea for the clutch cable. What is the life expectancy on a clutch cable? I'm not the...

    gen 2 fz1 reliability?

    I bought a 2009 with 5,300 miles on it January 2013. I've got 26,000 miles on it. I've only had to do regular oil & filter, tires, chain & sprocket, and coolant. I ride the crap out of my bike and it seems to be handling the abuse/love just fine.

    gen 2 fz1 reliability?

    thanks, something didn't compute there, but I'm tired. Riding in the rain and getting all wet is tiring. But SOO Much FUN

    gen 2 fz1 reliability?

    Is that a 2010 with 86,000 miles on it? That means the bike had close to 30,000 miles a year put on it since new. I wouldn't buy that bike unless you're getting it for like $1,000
