    New 2010 FZ1 Headgasket Leaks...TSB?

    10,000 miles here and dry as a bone. The only bikes I've had that leaked oil were a Husky 610sm and a Ducati Multistrada 620...

    Ever seen this headlight?

    Agreed. It looks like some sort of Acerbis or knockoff version of the diamond or cyclops headlight. I've used several on my supermotos over the years and they are not very good quality. Horrible light output and flimsy materials. They do look cool though and that's why they sell so many of...

    ~ No Mar Exhaust Hanger ~

    Got it today. It is a little bit flimsy, but once mounted up it holds firm. The holes lined up perfectly. I reused the upper subframe bolts and painted the heads black (I also painted the radiator guards flat black). You will need to source a shorter bolt for the hanger. I have quite a bolt...

    R1 Fork Conversion

    Because it was included in the auction. I've read that the upper triple does fit, but requires a bit of fabbing to get the steering stops and ignition lock to work... Exactly. I'm using my stock triples. I plan to sell the R1 lower triple later on along with the FZ1 forks, axle, and...

    R1 Forks

    I just scored a set of 06 R1 50th anniversary gold forks with calipers on EBay. I plan to get a Penske shock from Traxxion in October... Can't wait to feel the difference. I've tried playing with the settings but I think I've reached the limit with my 215lb a$$...

    Yamaha Gel seat

    I was lucky enough to have a Yamaha gel seat already installed when I bought my bike. It is pretty comfortable and has never been an issue on my 200+ mile rides. Maybe I'll install the stock seat one day to see how bad it really is...

    ~ No Mar Exhaust Hanger ~

    Yamaha FZ1 FZ 1 2006-10 Exhaust Hanger Bracket w/ Cargo | eBay Not bad for $26 shipped. A pretty cheap alternative to the more fancy expensive hangers I've seen. I never plan to ride with a passenger so I was looking for a hanger that eliminates the rear passenger foot pegs. I'll post up...

    08 FZ1 Powerbronze Belly Pan Chin Fairing Installed

    Thanks. I thought about painting them to match. Where could I find some of those carbon ones?...

    08 FZ1 Powerbronze Belly Pan Chin Fairing Installed

    Just thought I'd post up a few pics of the Powerbronze Lower Belly Pan. I got it on Ebay for $148 shipped from superbikestore_llc. I have the grey bike so I decided on the carbon look one. It matches my bike very well. The fitment was a little tricky but not too bad... Overall, I am...

    FZ1 Bearing Failure at 110 MPH...or there abouts

    +1... My guess would be a lot. How many track days? Ever use lube on that axle after a tire change? Do you happen to live near the coast? Do you ride in the rain at all?...

    well what should i do

    Well maybe down there, but I see FZ1's pretty frequently riding in the Bay Area... As far as appearance mods go, most people eliminate the stock rear mudflap. My next mod will be a lower belly pan... A few cheap mods are signals, wheel stripes, custom decals...
