Hey all, I'm in the process of swapping my forks for R1 forks; just got my stock forks off, and I was curious to see what the oil looked like, so I emptied them out. What's weird is, in one fork, I was only able to empty out 12 us oz, and in the other one, managed to empty almost 14 oz. I made...

Hey guys, The bike is 15 years old (2003 Fz1) and only has 4000 miles on it. I just bought the bike and have spent a little money getting it road worth again and figured as long as the forks are being torn apart to replace the seals that are leaking what else in the forks should I change to...

So I just took off my wheels to put some new tires on and I noticed they need to be painted because they have some chips out of them (to which I contributed by yanking on the front wheel with the calipers still on the forks....brain fart :retard:) so I was thinking, hey I kinda like the look of...
Okay guys, I'm picking up a 2005 FZ1 next week that was wrecked and has some slightly bent forks. I'm looking for a set of forks and triple trees (assuming they are tweaked if the forks bent). I figured several guys around here probably have some laying around after doing the R1 front fork swap...

Anyone have changed the bushings in their front forks?
I feel a small play in the forks (between inner and outer tube) Checking the same way you would when you check for play in the steering head bearings.
Mileage is 61500 km.
The service manual shows nothing and I find it hard to find the...
Hi all. Just wanted to drop a line to say how much I enjoy this forum. Just bought an 07 with retro kit that needed forks. A little research on this forum and I figured out that I could get a set of forks and brakes off of an 06 R1. A week later and it's on the road. Coming from a Ducati 999...
Okay guys I have a question for you FZ experts. I picked up a wrecked 2012 FZ1 with 4k miles on it super cheap and replaced the front forks and triples (bent).
The replacement forks (from eBay, unkown history) almost feel like there is a little wiggle or play inside of them. It's hard to...
My brother crashed my 2001 fz1 and bent the forks. The crowns are still good. Please let me know if you have any forks for sale. thanks

My brother recently crashed my Dad's 2001 FZ1. He bent the forks and cracked the faring. I am wondering if I can put R1 forks on it. This is because I have spent alot of time on ebay and havent seen any FZ1 forks for sale. I am excited to turn this bike into a streetfighter! I want to make the...
Hi,
I am a new member, just acquired this awesome 2003 blue FZ1.
The bike has been reasonably well taken care of, except for some rust spots on the forks, above the part that actually slides (not sure if that's clear).
I have no idea what to do about it. The rust has breached the chrome...
