Probably THE most irresponsible thing i've thought about all week......... What's the fastest you've ever ridden 2 up on a FZ1? My FZ is a 2nd gen '09 w/ minimum mods. I eased off the throttle w/ a 120ish lb chick doin 110 a few nights ago. (closed course w/ maximum safety gear, of...

Unfortunately, the problem isn' electrical. It's mechanical and it's because of the blade style levers that i put on. There's a button on the front of the switch. When its depressed, the brake light goes off, and when its not, the brake light is on. The interior of the levers has worn...

It's the switch. I took the wire off and the light went dim. :tup: Put it back on and it went back bright. Switched them around and it we bright again. The contact points looked pretty clean. The switch is only $15 on cheap cycle parts, so I'm gonna start there. Hopefully that...

Got it. Thanks! I will find a diagram of it and jump on it as soon as I get off work today.

I wasnt the one who installed the levers. I was having a bunch of stuff done and asked the mechanic to put the levers on. I can say w 100% certainty that there is no audible click whn I pull the front lever

Hmmmm.......... looked around on the other forum. The possibility has struck me that the brake light my possibly be stuck 'on'. Gonna look into that.

I'll start w/ the bulbs. **EDIT** Wasn't the bulb. Put a new bulb in and it does the same thing that the old one does. The taillight works, but it doesn't get any brighter when i hit the brakes. I don't hear an audible click with the front brake lefter (aftermarket levers) but I do...

I was on a ride this past weekend and the tailgunner advised me that either my brake lights weren't working or I had some pretty big kahunas because he didn't see me brake before going into ANY turns on our ride. :eek5: Unfortunately, it's the brake light. The tail lights work fine but they...

Installed Copperdog's modded flies and plugged the AIS hose. Good rainy day project.

I used dupli-color flat black engine paint. I rarely (never) ride 2 up and I don't want to put the bike in the shop to get thm powder-coated just yet. I touch thm up on rainy days.

Instead of deflecting the wind towards my chest, it directs it more towards my helmet. Its easier to duck out of the wind and the bike feels more stable at higher speeds.

Put on my SV650 risers. That lowered my Rizoma bars quite a bit. Feels great. Carved a few corners on the beast, and then took it back to the lair. Had the bellypan spoiler put on last week along w/ the zero gravity db windscreen. Also blacked out the rear pegs and the new (used) risers.

Came home with the intention of doing the AIS block off and when I got to the last hex bolt for the inner fairing, I notice that it was rounded off.....apparantly by the guy who put on my top cowling :doh2: Of course, I called the Yamaha dealer to find a replacement, and lo and behold, the...

Was running 93 until i stumbled across this post. In the process of running my first tank of 87 octane through it right now.

Ordered a dark smoke zero gravity db windscreen

Here Goes Nothing First mods, but I'm doing them in big batches. Had a crash (rider error) : oops: and replacing/modding a bunch of parts. Bike is an 09 Granite Gray. They painted the Upper Fairing and I bought and had painted the lower belly pan chin fairing. Added OES Frame...

I said that I would put in a consorted effort to look for a set of used (or new) sport scoops tht would fit an 09 FZ1. Color doesnt matter, but a set in granite gray would make my life a lot easier. Thanks!

Make that 3! :p maybe a group buy?

I picked up this chin fairing for a fairly low price on ebay. Yamaha FZ1 FZ 1 2006 2009 Bellypan Chin Spoiler Carbon - eBay (item 140519793798 end time Apr-03-11 07:39:40 PDT) no luck finding a sports scoop for that cheap yet.

Thanks. Thats very similar to the look that I'm going for. (edit) I've been checking the price on these things and they are OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
