    Deals Gap Rally June 13th - 16th 2024

    A few of us are staying off of the skyway again. With the exception of last year, we have been at this house for 4 years or so. Some others are staying at Fontana and others are staying at Deals Gap Resort. Communication is the hard part about being spread out in this area. We have a...

    Deals Gap Rally June 13th - 16th 2024

    yes that is true, RV sites are not too plentiful . Some of the FZ1oa guys brought Rv's they stayed at Fontana next to the dam. It's kind of dark there and pretty quiet. I recommend it, but it does not have full hook ups and just a few sites with power. But it does have a dump station.

    Deals Gap Rally June 13th - 16th 2024

    Glad to here you're more local. I am about 50 miles away, but I make it to Cafe Rel' at least once a month. We need to meet up sometime.

    Deals Gap Rally June 13th - 16th 2024

    In mid 2023 the forum FZ1OA was retired and I am hoping this forum will support us and vice versa. In the USA we have 2 yearly events a June rally (Deals Gap) and a late September / early October rally in Suches, GA. In 2024 the Deals Gap Rally will be held from June 13th - June 15th (although...

    FZ1 Newbie seeking advise

    Try out some Gen2 bars, They are a little bit lower (they are flat bars), but have a little bit less sweep too. Most Gen1 riders prefer them. (I do)

    GenI Fork Rebuild "How To"

    Hey man thanks for the directions. I only had two issues / questions when rebuilding mine from your videos (no clymer) Issue #1 I freaking forgot the outer tube slide (the Teflon coated ring that fits just below the fork seal until after I had set the fork seal. Rookie mistake. Getting...

    Heated Grips or Heated Gloves?

    Is that what you were doing on the phone the other night. I thought you had a toddler sitting in your lap or something. :)

    Heated Grips or Heated Gloves?

    I posted this over in the other FZ1 form and here is where I stand on the subject. Hope this helps you make a decision Today I managed about 40 miles in upper 30 - lower 40s temps. These temps are not new for me but this is the first time that I have truly had warm hands. My real goal is to...

    FZ1 is dead, and Kawasaki did it

    I'd have to stay clear of the cross plane till they get all the kinks with the cam chain tensioner ironed out. However Honda is looking to up the Anti as well 2011 CB1000R Overview - Honda Powersports It will be way too many years before I can afford the Honda though (I bet) I think...

    Anti Freeze

    I'd just like to add a clarification. Stella is a lot cooler. :) (because she is silver). But seriously. I rode baby for less than 5 miles and felt like my shins were burning. My old FJ would feel like that, but it was air cooled and that was when I was stuck in traffic. I had...

    Radiator fluid coming out side of engine

    Sounds like you still have some air trapped in the system. Fill it best you can and remove the radiator cap. This is the highest point in the system and air should eventually end up located here. (only take the cap off with it cool, and you shouldn't need to run the engine more than a few...

    ***Official 2010 Deals Gap Thread*** (Updated OP)

    The Wolftamer, myself and one other rider will probably swing by Friday night to say hello to anyone that might be there. We're doing the Camping thing over off of 129. (that is the plan anyway) We will swing back by Saturday night if we don't end up riding that day with the other early...

    ***Official 2010 Deals Gap Thread*** (Updated OP)

    Looking pretty good there. I do have a couple of suggestions. 1. Don't tie to your grips, you will ruin them. Go to Wal Mart or bike shop and get the cinch straps that loop over your handle bars. (you will be happy you did) 2. Consider getting some ratcheting straps that have hooks...

    ***Official 2010 Deals Gap Thread*** (Updated OP)

    Hey just a heads up, but I believe TheWolfTamer and I are going to camp in a local campground (were sort of testing the water for future stuff). Still hope to sneak in and say hello to everyone (Friday the 17th ) if we get up there early enough. Well I am sure She will, but I may be showing up...

    ***Official 2010 Deals Gap Thread*** (Updated OP)

    Ok so me again. Been reading and I see that you once discussed allowing folks to tent camp at the house. If we chose to go that route, did you ever come up with a price for doing so? (just weighing my options at this point)
