    Issue with retrofit

    I had something like that on my FZ09 happening to me. End up being a shaved wire that was grounding on the frame. The harness got cough the triple tree and steering stop. Might not be it but its a cheap thing to do. I just use tape over the harness and made sure the loom was out of the way...

    FZ8 Hatred

    Been a while... On top of my head you need the 2 cams, all 3 gears and timing chain. Then 102 ILC & 105 ELC are the cam timing. I do not have the fuel map anymore. More info are available in the other house...

    Thinking of buying an FZ1 (owned an FZ8), thoughts welcome

    FZ07 is a blast to ride. About same HP than a FZ6R bit 80lbs lighter! FZ09 is like a R6 with 60 ft.lb of torque from 5 to 11K RPM (mine at least) Better suite for holligans riding style and not a bad track weapon either. Bit to zip around town the FZ07 is more fun IMO. Well equipped it would...

    BMW S1000R or Apriia Tuono V4R or Super Duke 1290 or keep the Yamaha?

    I'm stuck riding in Florida, 11 curves in 318 miles. LOL If you feel comfy enough, invest few $ on a Novice track day. I did 3 in the past few months with my FZ09 and learn more in those 3 days that I did riding around for the past 5 years (FZ6R = 48K + FZ09 = 14K) And yes, I can keep up now...

    Buon giorno! Or something like that. More than likely I will be in Brescia next May for the 1000 Miglia. The event ends on May 17th. I'm comtemplating renting a motorbike for 2-3 days after and tour some of the most beautiful Italian road. Any suggestion? Gratis

    2015 yamaha fj-09

    The fueling issues has been fix already. Yamaha has a flash upgrade out for 2014 and all 2015 come with it. Not has smooth as a custom flash but most people are happy with it. If you keep the bike in the ECO mode you get 47-50 MPG bone stock (45 @ 80-90 MPH on mine) so with a 4.8 gal tank 200...

    Just got an FZ1 and I hate it.

    I used advgear in the PCV. I copied & paste the same map in all gear then lean out the cruising range to a safe AFR in 5th & 6th. Sort of under 20% throttle in your RPM range. You still have full powwwa in all gear at WOT or in the "twistie range" and get better MPG on cruising.

    Anyone Ever owned a Porsche 911?

    I worked on 997 GT3's (racecars). They're nice and bullet proof but when they break... better have deep pockets! They're a bit over rated in my book. It's just a glorified Beatles to be honest. They are a bit rear end heavy too if you like to ride a bit spirit, not everyone can get use to drive...

    Continental motion tire combo

    Tough about you on my ride back home yesterday. I killed my S20 in 3500 miles so since the C/M were good to me on the FZ6R I decide to give them a shot on the FZ09. On dry for the type of riding I do in Florida, it's all good. No issues. But when I left yesterday the pavement was still a bit...

    Can I start a "Post your Streetfighter" thread?

    Hey Mate, Just want to say thanks. I had to make it happen with the bracket but it all worked out perfect. Airflow is mind blowing smooth... exactly what I wanted. :stunta]:

    Houston Yamaha Demo Days - 2/12014

    Agree with the suspension. It wasn't too bad for me coming off the FZ6R at first. I could tell something wasn't right but once all sort out I was like FK! Why are they selling a bike with suck shitting suspension? Ergo is spot on for me for my 30" inseam. Actually if I sit on my 6R (kept it...

    Oui Monsieur! You can keep the snow all for you! LOL :flip::rofl: I'm not missing it at all... Do miss the Poutine quite a lot with a Montreal style smoke meat! Doesn't get any better! Those kill you a bite at the time but sooo good!

    I guess I qualify for naked ride. My new FZ-09... pimp up already. I like to think it's the most bada$$ one out there. :) I think the levers are the only stock parts I have to swap... :sport12: (Not sure what's going on with the pic... I'll work on it)

    Tuono is a killer ride. My wife will learn on the FZ6R then I'll get her a ride. FZ-09 and either a Strom 1K or S10 will be my tour bike.
