I own and ’07 FZ1 and just purchased the '07 FZ6 for my Wife. The FZ1 is superior in every measurable category with one exception – the seat. I must admit I like the softer FZ6 seat but I still prefer the FZ1 even on longer cruses – the taller gears and low end punch make the FZ1 far more...
I have the 2007 FZ1 and it is beyond description (I also own an 2007 R6S). The FZ1 is such a great upgrade for FZ6 riders. You'll love the power and the full suspension adjustments and you'll feel at home in the upright position.
Re: Front Sprocket Change
I just purchased a Yamaha FZ6 (2007) new for my wife and after riding the bike home from the dealership, I realize we absolutely need a gearing change. I’ve owned a 2007 FZ1 and love the 5th/6th gear change to provide a taller gear for touring.
Obviously, that’s not...
