    Have you ridden an FZ1

    I started riding at about age 9 until about 25. Took a big break and started riding again early this summer. The FZ1 is my fifth bike. First new one. I'll let you know on the mileage, but obviously it has to be after the break-in. Right now I am getting poor gas mileage. I've got another...

    Have you ridden an FZ1

    FZ1 Versus FZ6 Saturday I sold my FZ6 after putting about 1,500 miles on it. It was always an interim project bike for me, but I really liked that bike. It was energetic, comfortable and forgiving. I bought a 2008 FZ1 Saturday and have about 80 miles on it. I’ve been obeying the...

    Front Sprocket

    Front Sprocket Change Does anyone have an idea what the torque changes to with the change from the stock 16-tooth front counter sprocket to the 15-tooth? This for a 2007, US FZ6. I believe the stock 16-tooth delivers 46.5 foot-pounds at 10,000 rpms. What happens to the torque when the...

    Anyone notice?

    I've been meaning to ask everyone, but I get 35 to 38 mpg. I've measured it 3 times. All of my riding is commuting in traffic.

    Glove Recommendations

    A glove followup..... I just bought a pair of Alpinestar GP Plus gloves. I could not find a pair of Held gloves to try on in the city. I was concerned about the hassle of buying trying to fit gloves over the internet. Anyway, long story short, I brought these home. Huge change from...

    Cornering on wet pavement

    I agree with the previous posts. It's a situation that has to be read and anticipated. VEGASRIDER is correct, here in the northwest, the worst is when it rains after a dry spell. That first day is slicker than snot. The cages have to be careful too. The second day on is nearly as tight as...
