Hey all,
I'm currently sitting in Korea without a motorcycle to ride, but I'll be moving back to Florida in December and I've been looking at getting a FZ1. I really want to get a 2nd gen, and I've found a few 2006's in my price range, but I'm wondering if I should get one of these or wait for a 2007+.
I have two main concerns:
Concern #1 with the 2006 is the harsher rear spring, but I'm not sure if this would be that big of an issue. I weigh about 195 with gear on, so I'm probably not on the heavy side.
Concern #2 is the throttle snatch problem. Does this go away if I get a PCIII, or do I have to do some other mod for it? If I do, is it one I would have to do on a 2007+ bike too?
I haven't really been able to ride for about 2 1/2 years so I'm stoked to get a chance to ride again and from what I've heard of the FZ1 it will be a great way to get back into it.
