Can anyone tell me if it is possible to put some shims on the top or bottom mount of the rear shock in order to gain some ride height. I've installed an Ohlin shock, which is great by the way, but it is not ride height adjustable. On the race track, as a result, I end up dragging pegs--not...

Does anyone know what the rubber band like loop is that sits in a nice little mount underneath the passenger seat? I've attached a picture I borrowed from another post (hope that's ok). Its the loop between the two seat bumpers at the tope and has flat as well as round portions. As I recall...

I need some help. Its complicated, but....I bought a new 2009 FZ1 in Missouri and now want to register it in California, where I am moving to. Does anyone know if the all the FZs were made to be 50 state legal? If it is, it doesn't need the usually required 7,500 miles in order to register...

Can anyone tell me if the shock mounting points on the FZ1 (mine's an '09), can be shimmed to gain additional ride height. I just bought an Ohlin shock but its the YA906, and, as it turns out, it does not have ride height adjustibility. I need to raise the bike up a tad to reduce peg dragging...

Anyone have any alignment issues? My bike has only 1,500 miles on it and I haven't removed the wheels yet, but I noticed the other day that it tends to pull to the left when I let it coast a bit with hands off the handlebars. This maybe a crazy thought, but could the weight reduction on the...

Just got a Two Brothers M2 pipe (titanium, should look great), and am now debating between the Power Commander V and the Juice Box Pro. Not looking for big power gains, just smooth running and steady torque curve. Any thoughts out there? And, after installing an aftermarket ECU modifier, do...

Just purchased a 2009 FZ1. Haven't even had a chance to ride it yet due to the cold. Can't wait. Meanwhile, I could use some help on a lighting question. When you turn the key on, should the rear position lights come on like the front ones do? By position lights, I mean the turn signal...

Picked up a my first FZ1 last week. Actually, trailored it home--too cold in Missouri to ride. So its sits in the garage with 0.0 miles on it. The dealer didn't even test it after final assembly! But I got a great winter-time price! Anyway, I'd like to get a back rest for use when my girl...

Hello all, Just bought my first FZ1 today. An 09, Granite Grey (with the questionable olive green wheels--we'll see if they grow on me). Excited but won't actually pick the bike up until returning from a business trip in a couple of weeks. Too cold to ride, anyway. Excited about the...

Hey guys, I am shopping for my first FZ1 and while I know the 2010 bikes are the same as 09's except for a re-mapping of the fuel injection to produce more low end torque, can anyone tell me if there is any difference from an 08 to an 09. I've found a pretty good deal on a new 08 and don't...

Considering the purchase of a new FZ1. Hoping to use if for three to four day tours around California, and, the ocassional track day. Am I crazy to think its track worthy? I am used to a ZX636 for track use, but am willing to muscle something a little heavier around the track if I can use it...
