I rode my 2009 FZ1 home from work on Friday. The bike was running normal. Over the weekend I washed it and lubed the chain. Monday morning I filled the tank with 91 octane at the local Chevron by the house and proceeded to work. This is all normal stuff for me.
The bike has a Akro slip on, K&N...
I rode to work today like I do almost every day. I was thinking/pondering that life is good right now. Warm California day, traffic light, I’m on a motorcycle. I ride almost every day unless there is a chance of rain. Then I carpool with a fellow employee buddy who rides also.

I just changed the original Metzeler Z6 tires on my BMW R1200RT at 11,000mi. I'd say I got my moneys worth. These were the OEM tire. This is a heavy bike (compared to my FZ1) and I use the BMW for long distance touring. They handle great in both wet & dry and although I never had to lock up a...
I was out in the garage over the weekend looking through some boxes of motorcycle parts I had gathered over the years. I came upon a new, in the box, Shock Racing Fender Eliminator Kit for a 04-06 R1. I thought to myself, I wonder if I can fit this to my FZ1. After all they are both Yamahas...
I was wondering if anyone knew of a company making decent looking hand guards for the Gen II FZI. I had factory ones on my Suzuki V-Strom and Triumph Tiger SE and they work great. We had a cold snap here in Southern California with an overnight temp of 35 f. Add the wind chill at 70mph and my...
