    Ivans ECU question's???

    Another very satisfied customer of Ivan's Performance Products, ECU flash! Driveability is very much improved. It's virtually a different engine, now with a smooth power delivery through out, removal of annoying throttle transitions - especially between shifts with closed throttle - and...

    Ivans ECU question's???

    Great! Thank you. I've disconnected everything you said before except the stacks and bottom of the box. I'm going for it.

    Ivans ECU question's???

    Anybody give me a short tutorial on how to remove the ECU? Sending to Ivan for re-flash, but not sure how to remove it. I have a 2008 FZI and I understand the ECU is located below the air box. However, before I start disconnecting things, I'd really like some pointers from someone who's done...

    Putting the bike on the center stand

    Agree with Fishermann322. Unless there is a mechanical problem with your center stand, then it is the technique you;re using that's the problem. The majority of the effort should be in your leg and body weight as you stand on the center stand while gently pulling the bike backwards with your...

    Lower handlebars?

    Risers from 2011 Star VX 250 installed in reverse direction. Puts me forward approx. 1" and 2" lower. Clearance is tight, but not dangerous. For me, this is far better than the stock bar config, with it's upright seat position. Able to stretch out over the tank and better position on the...

    Suburban Machinery told me they're no longer producing the their bar for the 2006+ FZ1.

    New Yamaha Bars

    Bump :chat: Any more you can share on ride impression? Questions: Any difference in width? Wrist angle intersect? What do you like most about the change? Any disappointments? My kit to arrive tomorrow, so I guess I'll know all the answers soon enough. Thanks for you post and pics!

    Sold bike last night

    I do have a sport-biker's reticence to say the word-Croosier (my fingers won't type it) But, I admit to a flirtation with the Triumph Thunderbird. Go for it. What ever flips your skirt!

    Close Call!

    I'm guessing he got the second balance pole from some one in the balloon gondolas. Where else could it have come from? Or is it a second pole? If you run the tape slowly while he's dropping the pole, it looks to me like someone in the forward gondola grabs it out of the air.

    Backwards Penalty Kick

    I'm not a soccer fan, but it seems like you're being too tough on the goalie. Looks to me like he guessed wrong and went right and his momentum wouldn't let him make a play to the left. Perhaps his tactics were all wrong, I don't know, but it seems like a legitimate goal even if poorly defended.

    another biker down

    Ditto on that. I have a vivid memory of ....well, a gory accident I saw up close. I've always been one to cover-up, but this event reminds me to always be vigilant and pay attention. Statistics just aren't on our side so we have to do things to improve the odds. Lets be safe out there.

    Browser Question????

    Firefox was my preferred browser, but a couple of weeks ago I switched to Google Chrome and now it's my preferred browser. Seems to load more quickly.

    My son and I are relegated to upstairs

    I know the feeling. I used to work with mostly women and there are times when the dialogue of a group of Venusians just messes with the equilibrium of a Martian. (ref: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus)

    Great little tank bag!

    I like the Nelson Rigg CL-950 saddle bags. How much did you pay for those, minus the tank/tail? Also, do they just hang off the pillion or is there a metal subframe to hold them out and perpendicular?

    i lost my best friend

    I can't imagine the loss you must feel. But, I hope you can take some solace in the fact he didn't suffer. Seek support, family and friends and try and remember that God is love. I know, I don't know how He lets things like this happen, but I still know He is love.

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?

    Good Deal, if..... I say good deal if pristine and maintained. NADA has retail price at $6300. Also, if you don't like some of the mods, it sounds like he's supplying you with the OEM parts as well. You could potentially sell the full faring, tall wind screen, Motec bar risers, Corbin...

    Bars

    I file the pins. I like to experiment with bar position and currently have them tilted down. I used a 1/2 inch of rubberized tape under the plastic clam-shell of the turn signal pod and, as is said, "works for me". :sport12:

    what is an "adventure bike"

    Norm has it right. They are dual-purpose bikes but unlike enduro bikes, they are 75% for road use. The gold standard for an adventure bike is BMW's R1200GS Adventure. Although I see the appeal for the adventure bike-long treks in mixed terrain-they are in fact a compromise road and...
