I have a 2009 FZ1 and my gauge cluster has melted from the inside. It is out of warranty so if anyone has one I would be interested.

It doesn't matter if someone has insurance or not. We all pay. Part of your premium goes to pay for other peoples misfortune. My 17yr old son crashed his mothers car with four other kids in the car. There were some serious injuries but all survived. My insurance paid out the maximum...

You did this all on a bike?? Impressive. :wow:

Some people claim you should not run automotive oil in motorcycles with wet clutches, which the FZ1 has. I personally have run Mobil 1 standard automotive 5w40 in all of my bikes & ATV's since 1985 with no adverse effects to the clutch. Also since automotive oils are in a more abundant supply...

I just put a set of 023's on my bike over the weekend. I had three plugs and 9500mi on the original Dunlop’s. The center of the rear tire was sooo squared off from doing my 70mi per day commute. The bike handles so much quicker now with "round" tires. I could hardly ride the bike with the new...

Same here. Just ran a two tanks of 89 through it. No difference. Monday it will be 87. :flash:

Take a laptop with you. Most hotels/motels have wifi these days. If not, they usually have a computer in the lobby for the patrons. I made a trek from Los Angeles to Sturgis and back to Los Angeles. If it wasn’t for my buddy’s laptop, we would have been pummeled with rain in Denver. And this was...

What size are you? I have some jackets in leather and non-leather, mesh and non-mesh. They are non-motocyle specific, in other words, Alpinestars or other. Most are in blacks and grays. I just want to get rid of them. Let me know.

I bought a BC.TRS.00.004.8000 Bags-Connection "City" Quick-Lock Tankbag for SW-MOTECH Gascap Mounting System What I like about it is you can buy the filler neck adapter ring for almosy any motorcycle. Which I have. I have had this bag on three bikes over a 6-7 year period. What's...

Okay, I bought a 7000 watt portable gas generator. It was on sale at 10% off. I had a 20% off coupon. I added the extended warranty and it still only came up to $478. It died the first time out as the harness for the generator got caught in the stator and was worn to a point where the wires...

Yes, you will need one of these. They are available as a Lockhart Phillips part at most of the local motorcycle parts stores. They work and they suck because they are made in China and have a life expendiency of about six months. Walmart is so happy to import these Chinese goods because they...

Any chance of getting a richer girlfriend? lolup

Take it easy cowboy.....don't be stressing on me now. :looseit:

The bike is only as fast as your right wrist. You did good, enjoy!

I know I am late on this but, don't focus too much on the milage. I have a buddy here where I work and we carpool eveytime it rains (we So Cally guys are such pussies). He has 78,000mi on his Suzuki GSX-R 750. He has typical bolt ons and thebike runs flawless. I would have gone for the cheaper...

I agree. I live here in Southern California. It does not rain here very often. It's a damn desert. The first rain is the worst rain around here. With all of the oils and crap, my truck even does the slip & slide. I won't take the bike out unless it's rained for a few days or it completely dry...

This sounds plausible as the crankcase typically is positive pressure and the AIS is a pump and sucks, creating negative pressure. But where are you dumping the vapor? The AIS output side dumps into the exhaust. Is this where you want the crankcase oil vapor to go? You have a choice, keep the...

I gotta do tires next. I have 9000+ miles on the original. Then I want to do the block off plates (I really hate the pop-pop-pop) and Graves Velocity Stacks. I already have an Akro Slip-On, modded airbox, K&N Filter, PC III. The shock mod will have to wait until summer. Mid summer. Maybe...

Yeah, that big 190 in the back slows steering quite a bit. The new FZ8 comes with a 180 rear tire and a 1/2 inch norrower rim. Also, and this is something I am wrestling (no pun intended) with currently, when the rear tire starts to flatten the tread in the middle from constant upright riding...
