Just picked up a used 2006 FZ1. Already own a ZX-6R and CBR 500R and ride daily for commuting and then the canyons on the weekends.
Anyways, the previous owner had the stator explode on him at the 87,000 mile mark. I picked it from him after he realized the bike needed more work than he had the time or patience for. So we have the engine just about dropped and will be going through the valves and crank case tomorrow. In already looking at the head, most of lobes on the camshafts are out of spec so we are going to be replacing both the intake, and exhaust cam shafts as well as the cam chain, just for starters. It had an engine knock before we took it apart. Suspect it might be a bad bearing or two or a local shop thought perhaps a bent rod. Interested in what you all might think.
Anyhow, hello everyone!
