Definately think this would be the problem...
When installed new shock just foolishly assumed they were supposed to be bent. I am guessing that when my old shock blew these arms were taking all of the force and bent a bit: oops:
Thanks for quick replies, I will get pictures and measurements as soon as I can. I know the dogbone is still good. I tried remounting the arm relays (triangle part connects shock and dogbone) to see if that was my problem but it seems they only work one way.
My arm relays have bends in them...
I recently blew my stock shock and decided on replacing it with a Penske 8900E. The install was easy enough, but I seem to have a problem.

If you are getting a slip on you will be fine using the stock fueling and o2 sensor.
If you are getting a full...
OK official rules time:

Total miles on a FZ1
Total miles on all your motorcycles
Full Year Competition

I like the idea of two different riding time divisions.
What do we think about the use of multiple bikes? All the bikes you own or just a FZ?
I know there is no way I will get 25,000 miles on my bike. I don't even go that far in a car in a year.
