I'm about to pass 85,000 miles. I recently had a major service with valve tuning and everything was just fine. Bike is running great. Aside from replacing parts from normal wear and tear I've done some minimal upgrading since 2009 - 16t front sprocket with lighter gauge sprockets and chain, K&N...

At the risk of jinxing myself, I'd just like to tell everyone how nice my bike feels lately. Suspension is lovely Exhaust note is lovely. Handling is lovely. I know most of you will understand. Thankyou my lovely bike. I hope you all are enjoying your rides!

I bought this bike earlier this summer. It needed some work, but I have done the repairs and now it rides great. Work I completed: Replacing of all steel clutch plates New rear tire Coolant flush Needed front turn signals The bike had a few aftermarket parts on it which I removed and...

Hey friends, I've got an '07 FZ1 with ~28k miles that I'm just in love with, but over the last many months I've been chasing my tail on some issues, and I'd love to bounce some ideas off those who know these bikes better than me, and either tell me to dig in deeper, or just ride more & worry...

Hello everyone! I own 2008 FZ1S with full fairing for over a year now and I must say... That's the bike I want to keep for a while. I owned loads of Transalps, GS650, Deauville, TDM900 and now I found bike I was looking for! :)

Thinking about getting a FZ1 for a around town and short ride bike. I have a Harley for traveling. is the carb. bikes pretty dependable as far as having trouble with the carbs, or would I be better off getting a fuel injected bike. Thanks for the advice in advance...............

To cut the long story short the MT10-SP is great modern bike with loads of toys, but I think i'll keep my FZ1N for a bit longer.

I've just done over 89000 miles and apart from a surging issue all seems well. The bike has gone to the stealers for them to check the surging, which i hope will be repairable. My problem is I think i'm in love with my bike and at the moment can't bear the thought of trading up. I'd like to...

Well look who's bike made it in to the Readers Rides section of the July issue of Performance Bike Magazine in the UK!!!

I stupidly allowed my 74 yr old Aunt to Rev my bike from a cold start. And more stupidly I watched her do it! Check the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PczQCnahLr0 What damage do you think this has caused. It may be just in my head but i think exhaust sounds a bit louder, the...

I thought that moving to Texas would afford me more riding time. I thought the weather change from NH would entice me to be out on the bike more. I thought, since I'd bought a brand-new home, I'd have nothing but time on my hands with no projects to do. I was wrong in so many ways... on too...

........here is a quick clip to show how silly easily the front end comes up on the FZ10 and even with my big bag of bones on the bike. LOL No clutch just rolling on the throttle in 1st gear. https://youtu.be/CDG2XyH4h-Y

Looking to buy a FZ1 I found on Craigslist. The bike is a 2006 Fz1 with a euro front end conversion and 3908 miles for $5,800. I believe this is a one owner bike taken care of by an older fellow who really kept the bike clean. Obviously this sounds great, but are there any existing issues...

2009 Yamaha FZ1 $6500 13,711 miles Lexington, KY I purchased this bike in 2012 with just over 1500 miles and was in like new condition. It has since been converted from a naked sport to a light Sport tourer. It has carried me from Toronto, ON to Charleston, SC and the last 5 of the...

Just brought this one home 2 weeks ago. A 2012 Gen 2 with Scorpion slip-on and Renthal bars and only about 3500 miles when purchased. Enjoying the crap out of it thus far. Never owned a Yamaha street bike before nor a 4 and this one's a gem certainly. Couple quick questions. 1) Previous...

Anyone else actually weighed their bike? Last time I went to the drag strip, I noticed that during Tech inspection a weight was displayed. I asked the guy inspecting how accurate that was and he said very. Mine with a full tank came up at 216kg (476 pounds) Not too bad considering that I have...

Good morning, all! I've checked this forum out quite a bit recently, and this past Saturday I upgraded from a 2009 Kawasaki ER-6n to a 2014 Yamaha FZ1. Picked it up with just over 5,000 miles on it, but it is in excellent condition! I've had it out the last three days, and will continue to...

Hello everybody I recently purchased a 2006 yamaha FZ1 and i was hoping this wouldnt be my first post but sadly it is. The bike has an upgraded sprocket and an ecu flash. I was merging onto the highway in first gear, had to accelerate because of traffic and and i look down at my speedo and i...
