The other day I was riding my 2004 FZ1 and on the lower RPMs it felt like it wasn't running on all 4. I decided (very stupidly) to tear into the carbs and clean them up. When I put it all back together, I tried to start it and it ran for about half a second, then died, tried again and there was...
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...
I spent a lot of time looking on here and other sites and came up empty with what I wanted. I wanted some extra protection above regular frame sliders. And I also wanted to run a belly pan, so the swmotech and givi cages were out. So I contacted 905racing who build stunt cages. They told me they...
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...

I've had my FZ1 with the Retro kit since May 2011 and I've thoroughly enjoyed it but over the last year or so I noticed I wasn't enjoying getting out on it as much as I did when I first got it. I think I was tiring of the fairly limp midrange that is endemic to the FZ1 engine, it doesn't come...
Hello guys and yes it's been a while since I last posted.
My question is, have any of you tried the new T30 Evo?
I've had plenty of fun on the T30's and yet again it's time for new rubber. I'm told the T30 is no longer available and the Evo is the new generation..
I'm getting the T30 Evo...

Bought FZ1S about 2 months ago w/ 5200 miles her. Yesterday after putting 1500 miles on her since purchase, I decided it's time to start tuning her ride. I pulled up on the mat in the garage, got her up on the center stand looked down...
Ever since I first heard about this I have wanted to do it. I have a few friends who love just hitting the road so it looks like there will be three of us on this trip the last weekend of June.

Well I got my ECU back from getting it flashed by Vcyclenut and installed my Graves Velocity stacks along with changing the light bulbs out to Philips Xtreme Vision Moto today. I am very happy with my choice to go with Vcyclenut for my ECU flash. The turn around time was great he received the...

Well the end has finally come for my Frank Thomas Street Boots with the soles delaminating.
This is no surprise when you take into account that the top songs on the charts the year of purchase were “Maneater” by Hall & Oates and “Down Under” by Men At Work along with...
Hey everyone, I've been lurking around this forum for a while and I must say that it has influenced my decision to buy the FZ1 so now that I have one I thought I better sign up!!
Brought a 2011 FZ1N, managed to find this one a few months ago, it had only done 4000km. Its in great condition...
Okay guys my 2012 FZ1 has 3800 miles on it. It has gotten where it is hard to start. If i just hit the starter it won't fire up. Once I hit it and it starts turning over I have to crack the throttle a little bit then it will fire right up. Only does this when its cold. When it's warm if you tap...
Went for the Sydney/Central Coast ride last Sunday. Took off up the road and thought WTF I've stuffed the gearbox? Had to return the shifter to the middle with my foot to shift the next time. I was thinking the spring/s had broken or something. Stopped to look and remembered that I had recently...
Prelude
This has been a tumultuous season so far with so many plans come and gone like the shifting winds of a forest fire. Just when you think you have the situation under control another shift in circumstances and it’s time for a new plan. I cannot remember a time in my adult life when the...
