My '09 orig battery just died - I went to crank it to go for a ride and it cranked dead almost immediately. It had been on a battery tender all along but I guess it was just time. The last time I'd ridden the bike, it offered no warning anything was wrong with the orig battery. I replaced it...

Thanks Folks! Thanks everybody! A great day here that started a little wet - we had 1.61" of much needed rain after getting 0.6" yesterday. It did clear off and get pretty late in the afternoon and I did manage to walk 6.6 miles before dinner. Wife took me out for dinner, to my fav place...

After having my truck stolen on my bday in '94 I will not own a vehicle, car or motorcycle, without some kind of tracking device ever again. When I bought my '09 FZ1, I inquired at the dealership and was offered two options - LoJack and one I'd never heard of, Mogotrack. When I asked what...

We were stationed on an AFB that allowed kids to get a base license at 14....this was my first street bike - '64 Honda C110 50cc -

Awesome scenery, thanks for bringing back a lot of memories. My Dad was "stationed" on McNeil Island in Puget Sound, an Officer at the Federal Penitentiary and we lived on the island with about another 100 families also working at the prison. We were there for 6yrs - 8 to 14yrs old for me...

Looked at these a while back and after getting a close up view of the receiver or socket that goes on the bike where the pin is inserted I decided to pass. Would rather have two good stands.

Appears to be what is referred to as a collar and it goes in the seal on the sprocket. Sprocket is too close to the swing arm - collar spaces it properly. This is #30 shown in the diagram below - You can find exploded views like this on PartShark.com as an example. Google is your...

I flew control line stuff when I was a kid and got a RC plane kit for high school grad. Flew that all summer before going to college and pretty much had no time for anything for a long, long time..... Heard that familiar nitro engine noise about 5 - 6yrs ago in the park behind our house and...

Yeah, if your 1st post on FZ1OA included a link, you get an instant, permanent ban....happened to me - I provided a link in my 1st post over there to a part guy was looking for...instant ban. As said, they do it to prevent spambots from having any success. I replied to the email I was sent...

Look into the Motodynamics integrated, LED tail light, that seems to be the best one based on feedback over on FZ1OA site. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Yamaha FZ1 Sequential LED Tail Light I have an 09 I bought as a leftover too, but mine is still the orig granite grey; I...

Be careful torquing the drain plug - there's diff in torque specs for a dry bolt vs a bolt that's wet with oil. I don't torque mine, just snug it up and then give it another go - what I have learned feels right. Never lost one or had one loosen. I used mag drain plugs on all the two strokes...

Be glad you got your Dillon stuff - I'm 5 weeks into an unknown wait for a 650 - ordered with all the options that count. Things have gone crazy for Dillon, Dillon equip is selling for incredible prices on eBay right now.... I put a case feeder on my 550 and didn't appreciate that the case...

Looks like 30mm and 20mm rounds.....next to a 50 cal. I don't reload 17, but one of the handbooks I have shows 4320 loads (25gr projectile) running from 22.6 to 25.2gr, so 24.5gr looks like its OK. Velocity (24" bbl) between 3900 and 4000fps. I'm so slow at typing.....

I hope it will back off when we start leaving Afghanistan and whatever happens (or doesn't happen) in Congress about guns is finished. Then as attention re-focuses for the general population driving this hysteria, things should drift back toward normal as demand falls off. I hope.... I picked...

Hard to believe they stiff you like that on parts - spacers were ~$7.50ea over here. You might as well change the brake lines out for some stainless steel lines while you're there......
