I really enjoy listening to Music when riding but have yet to find a pair of ear plugs/buds that do a good job of keeping bass in and everything else out. Ive been thinking about a Bluetooth helmet and was wondering how well they worked? I know there are many brands available, but is a helmet...

Ok so i am aware many of you have Power Commanders on your FZ1 and i know my bike runs lean. For those of you who dont know, i have the home made SuperTrapp exaust on my 08 FZ1 which i am proud of and love the unique look and sound it gives me. The SuperTrapp disc system will tell you by the...

Most recently the temps have remained in the 80s during the days and into the 60s at night with recent tornado outbreaks. That being said im already looking toward winter and was wondering how you northern most riders cope with low temps? Here in Alabama our winters are somewhat mild but i...

Hey guys curious question that should be easily answered by some of you, what is the whistleing or whine that naturally seems to come from the FZ1? I had a couple Suzuki Busa riders ask me if i had a turbo on it becuse of the sound it makes when you rev it. I could only reply its always sounded...

Just curious as to how many of you are still with the stock seat and happy with it? I tried to do some research on Yamaha Gel vs. Sargent vs. Corbin but nothing totally convinced me to stray from stock seat. Ive owned bikes with worse seats than the FZ1 so was just curious how many have ditched...

I just got my lowering link from Soupy's Performance and plan on lowering my 08 FZ1 soon. I want to lower bike about 2 inches front and rear equally to not mess up the stock handling. In doing so i have concerns about front fender touching fairing under heavy braking or rear tire hitting...

Ugh just a curious question guys. If any of you were sitting at stoplight and another bike pulled up beside you wanting to race, what would be best way to launch bike from dead stop? I'm no drag racer and i'm not saying anyone should be racing anyone, especially on a public street, wink wink...

Ok so what is the quickest and easiest way to block off AIS? I see that both Graves's and Ivan's both have kits in form of block off plates. Yet i have seen on this very forum people use home methods such as a marbel and a clamp. So what is most simple easy way to get this done, and how long...

I was just curious as to what octane gasoline most on here use in there FZ1? Although the owner manual says 87 octane is fine, i have always used mid grade 89. A friend of mine that had gen 1 FZ1 always ran 93 Octane premium. I dont know if the extra cost per gallon for premium amounted to any...

Ok so ive had my 08 Fz1 for about a year and debated about what aftermarked exhaust if any to get. I was happy with stock at first, but soon gutted the header cat painted end cap and heat shield to better match gold rims, looked nice but i needed more sound. i come to this website many times...
