I have a 2003. All I've done is have a custom seat built, installed a quick shifter, and raised the handlebars 3 1/2 inches up and back. I have a few bikes in the stable, a Ducati Diavel AMG for one, but my go-to typically is the FZ1. The FZ reminds me of a single-seat airplane I used to fly. By the time the thought crossed my mind the airplane had already done it. So too with this Yamaha.

I did the same thing! I had a few accidents while learning. The first was a major one and I wasn't at fault. I was totaled after only about 6 months of ownership, but I loved it so much I bought it back from insurance and rebuilt it back to life by myself. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it, only get it a partner bike. Thinking ZX-6R or 10R would complement it nicely

Nice bike mate, congrats! 👍 A couple of things you can try for that brake judder before spending any money, are first off clean the discs each side of each, with brake cleaner and a scotch brite pad (on the back of washing up sponges if you don't have any). Brake dust builds up on the discs over time so does need doing occasionally. The other thing that can cause brake judder is if the forks were not aligned, or done properly the last time the wheel was taken off, might be worth doing them both anyway so you know they are good. Dave Moss has good videos worth a look.

Glad to see you back on a bike Dan, think it's the perfect choice, more than enough power with comfort and good looks, will be a little project as well getting bits sorted and mods on it, seems to be warped discs or try cleaning your disc bobbins if they are floating as they can become siezed and jam the disc in one place and not float how they should. Can't wait to see more videos on it take care and ride safe 🙌

pulsing could be contamination on the discs. It can also cause the headstock to loosen and adversely affect your steering. Happened to me and caused me to low-side. My discs were warped though.
@michal0114
3 жыл бұрын
That brake pulsing you mentioned near the end of video Try getting some new break pads as they it could be near their end life cycle. Also there may be some water dried up in the brake caliper so if new pads don't fix the pulsing the caliper needs a nice refresh. Had that pulsing on my Gsx-S750 and I ignored it then was welcomed by a seized caliper to the disk xD
@DanTheTwoWheeler

I think it could be the pads, they've still got a bit of life left in them, but might get them changed soon to stop this issue.
@billsussman1073

The pulsing comes from our floating rotors. Those round button looking components near the center of the rotors should spin relatively freely when you try to move them with your fingers. They can be freed up with a little weasel piss and working them back and forth. Let me know if it solves your issue. Enjoy the Fazer man. Congrats

I absolutely loved the FZ1. Its a crazy amount of power but super smooth. The MT09 and 07 are really popular bikes as well so I wanted something a little different. Out of those two though, the 07 has the low end grunt of a twin, but if you want the kind of power that scares you, the 09 will be more for you 😅

Жыл бұрын
For long rides, I'd say fz6. Engine is smoother, and when you're up to speed it's got a lot of punch. For in town rides, go for the twins - they've got more low down punch and are narrower and a bit more agile, and the vibrations are less of an issue on rides under 1-2 hours.
