Hi welderman, I had some problem with the foot stand and welded on about 1/2" of rod more on the end of the quick action bracket. Just made it easyer to find down there with boots on .:welcome:
 
If you look at the shift rod there is one screw holding it at the top, under a rubber boot, undo it, then there are lock nuts on both ends on th threaded rod, loosen those an spin the rod whichever way you need to.
Welcome aboard!

Hi Crazybiker well for the Ninja its a great bike but the look just didn't do it for me and the turned down bars would kill my back iam 45 so the old body cant take the crap it did when i was young :D

What made you decide against getting the new Ninja 1000? It is a much better bike in stock form than the FZ1. Congrats and welcome to the forum though!

Sorry I new to his forum so I will play nice, but why would you come on to a FZ1 Forum and state anything like this? I assum this dude just dropped 10K on a new bike that he's stoked about and you ask him why he did not buy something else. That's a bit lame!
 
Welcome.
I don't get into these discussions about which bike is better.......choosing a motorcycle is like choosing a woman - it's all about what you want.
