Saw him Saturday around 11.30 am headed south on hwy 69 leaving Pittsburg, and saw him again Sunday about 3 pm in town. Was wearing a "dont hit me" yellow jacket both times. Who are you??
Hey all, thought I'd make a thread for my gen1 adventure build. My goal, is to build a dualsport type bike, that can haul anything I can strap on it, handle (well) on dirt and street, and be 100% reliable. Looking at the completely naked frame, it is very possible.
First pic!
Had an itch a while back, had to top out the gen1. Full leathers, 75 degrees, 87 octane and too much adrenaline.

Google tracks says 161, garmin says 158. That's fast enough for me.
Speed is fun, but I'm...
Thought I'd put a little input on this thread. I have had 100% satisfaction with these tires front and rear. I got 6500 miles out of the first rear, on the second one now. About to put on another front, its got about 7K on it now and is creepin on the wear bars. I love twisties and tear them up...
Recently when riding hard, there has been a bit.of clutch slip. I do ride hard in the twisties, but don't abuse the clutch. I do pull the occasional clutch up, but not often. Are the factory clutch springs too weak? Bike has only 11k miles.

Out for a ride with dad and friend on twisty mountain roads in Arkansas and had a group of porsches came up behind us. The lead car a yellow 911 carerra passed us and I followed him. 100+ in most corners 140s in the straights he couldn't leave me. Finally made it to my turn off, sadly slowed...
After watching a Japanese cone course race a few weeks ago, I get the urge to race around parking lot islands and leave black marks everywhere. There is a clean island infested parking lot I like to race around, more focusing on making the tightest fastest turns possible on this 500 pound beast...
I'm headed home to Rogers, AR for the weekend on the fz1. I plan on riding on parts of my tires unheard of by most like I always do on those incredible twisty roads. Anyone want to join!? I'm riding Saturday- Monday morning anywhere and everywhere. Have to get all the good riding I can get, the...
02 fz1
I know the r1 powerplant in the fz1 is an engineering masterpiece, I'm just wondering at what point in running it would you say it mechanically wears it out. I don't mean, how long can I run it redline and not worry about it throwing a rod, just considering the average riding. I cruise...
Being new to sport bikes, I'm still getting used to the feel if the tires. I trust them dry, but wet I'm completely unsure of how far they can be pushed. I'm riding Every day, rain or shine and take it very easy in wet days. Just wondering how much fellow inmates trust their tires.
02 completely factory fz1
Fully ivanized by pats instructions word for word. Removed ais, blocked off carb coolant, dropped in a k&n and started it up. Got carbs synced with my home made sync, . This is the closest I could get it. I have yet to adjust the tps as ivans instructions said, getting...
Looking at Ivanizing an 02 fz1, seems to be a cheap first simple mod to the bike. I was looking at getting the air induction block off kit, part number fz-0102mb carb kit, and a k+n filter. According to ivans site, it's pretty much plug and play. Anyone experienced in this mod? It's 100% factory...
