    Potential sale price for a 2003 FZ1

    I recently purchased a real nice 2009 Yamaha FJR1300A. Was thinking about selling my 2003 FZ1. The bike has about 7600 miles, Corbin comfort seat, GYTR muffler, HEL steel brake lines, and newer in 2012 tires. What do you think a bike like that in great condition would sell for? Thanks.

    rebuild carbs with jet kit

    You could also run straight Seafoam thru the carbs if you wanted to. Disconnect the fuel line then feed it directly into the line. Or drain or run most of the gas from the tank and then pour some Seafoam into it.

    Chain wear with tire change

    I agree with you M. You can certainly find many different ways to micro-adjust your chain, but the mfg. supplied alignment marks are plenty good enough assuming you are accurate in making sure both sides are the same. I use a magnifying glass as close up work like that ain't what it used to be.

    Uh, blessings counted sir. Thanks for the laugh. It's a healthy habit to get into. (laughing). Seems the older I get (58) the more humor I get out of life. It's too short as it is.

    300 mile review of 2014 Z1K

    Nice bike. They did an article on it in the March issue of Cycle World. BTY, I used to own a '72 XLCH. A real beotch to get started, but once it was running it was a real blast to ride.

    What's up with all the adds for sexy Latino women and 'charming' Asia women on this site? Can we get one to keep an eye on our bikes when we're not riding, or maybe just for when we want to take some fresh pictures, and then send her back? :rofl:
