    Urgent: Need to buy a rear tire in Saskatoon for the Fz1 gen 2

    @9Lives. Sorry haven't been on the forum since the ride last year. The rest of the trip was amazing. A couple hiccups here and there but if anything they added to the experience. I was able to borrow the side reflectors from a friend and passed the MOT safety. However, if you still have them I...

    Urgent: Need to buy a rear tire in Saskatoon for the Fz1 gen 2

    I was able to find a few shops, but Recreation Supply Co had the right tire size in stock, their mounting price on bike was reasonable compared to others and they were able to fit me in the same day knowing I was on a road trip. I dealt with Mike over the phone and Matt in person. Both great guys!

    My 50a main fuse needs to be replaced. I checked the service manual, but the part number is not listed (it is simply called main fuse). Does anyone know what type of fuse this is? Or know the Yamaha part number for it? Thanks

    Gen 2 - Can I put on a 180/55/17 instead of 190/50/17

    Can I put on a 180/55/17 instead of the stock 190/50/17 tire size on the 2009 FZ1? I am sure someone will be curious as to why I would want to do that. The reason is I am thinking of riding the Denali Highway in Alaska later this year, and want to put on Continental TK70/TK80 tires for the...

    FZ1 Gen 2 Belly Pan mounting points

    I am thinking of retrofitting a universal belly onto the Fz1 Gen 2. I was wondering if someone could point out the mounting area for the stock belly pan. Pictures of the mounting points and hardware used would be very helpful. Thanks

    Solving Handlebar and Footpeg vibrations on the Fz1 Gen 2

    I have always had some level of vibration in the handlebars on any motorcycle I have ridden. However, the handlebar vibration on the fz1 at around 4000 to 6000 rpm (which is where it is usually at highway speeds) seem to be slightly more. Some days my hands go numb. Does packing the handlebar...

    New member welcome thread...

    Moved out here from Toronto a couple years ago for work. It truly is easy to rack up miles down here. So far I have done 4k km in the first 3 months of the year and haven't really even been on any trips, just commuting. Guess fun rides start in May. If you ever get down here I highly...
