am I crazy? I have only put on 100 sum miles (winter time) on my new bike, but I cant help but think the rear of this bike feels kinda stiff. I have not driven it hard. yet under fast acceleration it almost feels like the rear does not feel stable. A little inter net research has lead me to...

welcome Bill, I just got my 09 FZ1 couple weeks ago, I find the bike is plenty tame till you turn back the throttle

Hello Joe, welcome I'm from the philadelphia area and I'm so sick of the cold I might drive down and go for a ride with ya.

just getting started

I personally dont care about the warenty, its my toy not the family wagon. And as far as the noise. I havent had any problems yet, but with citys down to little towns hurting for money cause of the economy, they do look to thier police department as a source of generating revenue, so police may...

Those breaks are gonna look to good to even use

Im not really to concerend where the sales numbers are at. This economy will move forward, its just gonna take time. I just know if Yamaha puts out a new FZ1 model for 010 I'm gonna S#!T

Well Im just a rookie rider and my FZ1 is only my second bike. And comeing from a V star 650 I feel like I traded in a fiat for a Ferrari. In your situation an R1 certantly does not lack on power. For me I mostly just drive back and forth to work and on days off I basicly just pick a direction...

Hello ant, i'm new here myself and still finding my way around. What year bike do you have?

thank you for the tips guys. Unfortently I might have to wait to do this, theres no outlet at the storage box for the hair dryer, but I figure I'll start keeping the bike at home by the end of Febuary. I guess I should buy a cover.

Well not that the Yamaha home page will tell you, but from other sites they rated the stock engine at 150 hp (06-09). Of course we all know that it doesent meen its putting 150 down to the ground. Between visiting porn sites I was able to find a couple of dyno graphs of FZ1 s with after market...

yes, there is one on top the fuel tank, and two slightly below the passenger seat. I got about half of the fuel tank sticker off, it just took forever and now my finger hurts to bad to pick my nose,

Other than picking and cussing at those safety stickers, is there a better way to get them off. Maybe blow torch or circular saw. I have an adhesive remover thats works well on the glue, its just getting the actual sticker itself off.

I dont know what to tell ya. Its an 09 FZ1, I had a shop set the chip on a dyno (duh), and thats the number that came out. The dude that did it said he was kind of surprised how high it came out himself. He said from the factory the same model bike can go about 5 hp either way. Guess i got a...

I got a werks eliminator kit, there was two too chose from. both a little over a 100. I went with the more legal looking one. I should have a pic for ya in a day or so.

Well thank you for the welcome everyone. I dont have any pics of the bike yet, but soon. I think you will like the pic i have uploaded asumeing I did it right. I have only had the bike a few weeks, but I figured no time like winter for modifications. So I started out with a Yoshi carbon...

Hello people, I just bought an 09 FZ1, its my second bike, I only been rideing for about a year. I'm from the Philadelphia area, so the 50 miles i have put on the bike have been painfully cold. I'm just looking forward to some actual good rides. For now I will make do by talking to you nuts.

just bought a shoei X 11, weathers been to bad to ride. Helmet works great doing work around the house or just sitting on the toilet. Hard to drink beer while wearing it.
