    Fz1 handlebar vibration bad?

    I felt some buzz when my bike was new. Much of it goes away with running-in. Mine did. There is some buzz inherent to an inline four without counter balancers - but I've not had a bike yet that didn't have some mechanical feedback associated with the engine. That's one of the reasons we love...

    Indicated Speed

    What GPS system do you have?

    Fuel Cut Eliminator

    I've owned my share of bikes, and I've not had one that didn't have some rideability problems out of the box. I'm still a member of most of these forums. Go on any of them, and you will find the same discussions on engine response. What are we talking about for the FCE...$200..? I know...
