My clutch is very snatchy, almost like a switch. It’s lubed and smooth but still snatchy, it’s a 2001 1000cc with 23,000 miles on it. Engine running, in neutral and pull the clutch lever there’s a slight whirring from the clutch housing. Apart from this, it’s great! Thanks in advance. PS I’m a firm believer of “if it’s not broken don’t fix it” so while it’s working so well I’m not going to take anything apart looking for a problem but when it comes time to ‘fix’... Read more

I have a 2012 FZ1 in my possession, and I feel the range of motion in the front brake lever is very short. There is no flee play at all, there is about 1/4 inch of motion to full squeeze the brakes, and maybe an inch if I squeeze real hard. Is it normal?

Hi, I'm considering a slip-on from Yoshimura, TRC . In the installation instructions they say that you have to disconnect the cables from the EXUP valve, and I'm wondering if that's such a good idea, since this valve is there for a reason. Has anyone disconnected the cables, and then experienced a performance loss ? I read that the valve is almost closed at low revs, and the servo opens it up as the revs go higher. If you disconnect the cables, doesn't it mean that the valve never opens... Read more

Howdy folks, I have a frustrating problem and I need yalls help on this. 2008 fz1-sa From a shop who got it used from previous owner. It had sat for a few months.

It did come with an immobilizer emulator and I have added a exup dummy plug. No error codes related to either.

2003 Yamaha FZ1 32k Miles $3,500 obo You are looking at a well maintained first generation FZ1. I've owned this since 2019 at ~16k miles. Many have come and gone but this bike remained in the stable the longest because it's such a fantastic bike. It's been all over the country and never set a foot wrong. Selling because my days of spending extended periods of time away from home on long distance rides are over. Very reluctant to sell because truly, there is no other bike out there like... Read more

Hi all, Has anyone made aux light brackets that bolt under the mirror stalks? It appears to be a strong mounting location. The lights would end up relatively high above the headlights, and tucked in for looks and drop protection. If so, please send pics or better yet, dimensions and bend angles. I have a pair of rigid industries D2 dually lights I just pulled off another motorcycle. They're a bit big ( ~3.25" cubes and Way brighter than needed). I'm also switching the headlights...

I'm looking to see if anyone has modified the center stand at all. The footpeg part is too close to the peg in my opinion, and I was thinking of cutting it down a bit and wanted to see if anyone has done it before.... Thanks in advance!

It's that time of year and the fireworks have already begun.

Hello! It happens that my FZ1 Fazer, gen 2, if I'm riding with 31~mph(50km\h) it shows me on dash I'm riding with 50mph(80km\h). At this speed, it's off by 19mph, that's 60% more showing on dash. When I'm on highway , riding with 60mph(100kmh) it shows me i m doing 80mph(130kmh). That s 23% difference. I know that 5-10% is normal for most of the bikes, but 60% at 30mph it s way to much. I removed and cleaned the sensor tip, I don t know what to do next, I red that i can measure some values... Read more
