First off, I'm putting this in the general forum instead of mods because I think it's an issue with the bike as opposed to primarily a mod for the sake of it, and I'd say this should reach more potentially-interested parties. Moderators - feel free to move thread if necessary.
OK - so 3/2010 issue of Sport Rider has the following ("Gear Bag," p. 92):
I'm presuming this issue is precisely why my '07 exhibits this same behavior (further, the above description is somewhat edited to fit the available space; Ivan's website notes that the problem is worse in cornering, which is specifically when it is most annoying). I called Ivan's up and was told that if he can get a bike to look at, he can develop a similar mod (which is why he hasn't yet done it for the FZ6). So, I figured I'd see if someone in the NY area might be willing to hook him up (I'm in CA). I'm guessing a lot of owners would be interested in fixing this issue.

OK - so 3/2010 issue of Sport Rider has the following ("Gear Bag," p. 92):
Attention FZ1 Owners:
Owners of 2006-present Yamaha FZ1's can attest to the abrupt on/off throttle response at low speeds. Ivan's new Fuel Cut Eliminator solves this problem by addressing the root cause - the fuel cut command. On the FZ1, when the throttle is closed above 4500rpm the fuel injection system stops delivering fuel. On re-application there's a lag before the fuel reaches the intake tract. With the FCE that problem is no more..." (description goes on with mention of improved midrange power, contact info, price ($195) etc.)
