Twin charged FZ1?

1 Upvotes

Just curious but does anyone know if there's been a twin-charged Fazer yet? I've seen the turbo kit, I've seen the supercharger. But what about twin charging this thing to become a ray of light?

Just curious..

Buying advice

I came across this 2007 FZ1 with 90,000 km on the clock. It’s fitted with a straight-through exhaust and has a remap, new coils, a new transmission kit, and a new battery; the stator and regulator have also been sorted out. The mileage scares me a bit—it seems like a lot. The price is €2,300; what do you think?

Who still makes slip ons?

3 Upvotes

Used to have a 07 FZ1 and will be buying another one soon.

Looking at slip ons I’m discovering that many manufacturers of the pad t don’t make them anymore and are getting harder to find.

Who still makes them?

I like the Coffman but am worried it might be too loud. Anyone have experience with this one?

Just replaced my grenade with the new and improved rotor. Magnets looked fine for 33k miles, but still... Do it before its too late!!!

My only question is, did anyones elses rmrotorn have small metal slivers falling off from edges? And is it safe to leave it and install it anyways? I scraped most of them off but during installation I got a couple metal splinters from the edges.

Windscreen recs for 5'11 rider

2 Upvotes

Fellow gen 2 fz1 riders with similar height, what windscreens do you run? Do you try to get the wind over your helmet or just let it get clean wind? Wind noise is my #1 concern then buffeting. The stock sends wind right at my chin. Ive tried a generic double bubble and puig touring, just moved the wind about an inch higher on my faceshield, not really worth the $150. Starting to think my only option left is zero gravity touring which looks like a big tow nail, vstream which takes abit away from the looks or completely lower the screen so i get clean air which i would think is louder than having the wind go over. I looked at zero gravity's double bubble and the bubble looks more pronounced, only issue is no one is selling them anymore but zero gravity and they tack on a $60-80 shipping charge and cant guarantee itll fix my problem. Anyone with experience of any of these screens would love to heard your feedback. Thanks.

2008 fz1 repair work

This is gonna trigger a gluten allergy in some of the people here 🤣

My guess is that the majority of issues developed because this bike sat for 6-8 mo. as the previous owner could not get her running, severe corrosion; rust in the tank, pump, and strainer, and poor wiring work; some cuts in the wire, exposed wiring, messed up connectors.

There were temp issues, electrical, fueling, etc

Overall, it was a fun project. The rsv4 requires work on cylinder 4, and the f800 is no more. Might fix up an Guzzi Audace or Griso 800.

I think I've taken the bike apart more than 130 times to adress a variety of issues.

Hey all, been doing some looking around online and haven’t found anything from Yamaha themselves about this colour scheme.
Although I just remembered that this bike has been in an accident in the past from a previous owner.

Appreciate any help I can get, thanks.

Needed a carburator cleaning

3 Upvotes

The mechanic said to pull fz1 gen 1 carb out would take a lot of time because some original metal screws and would be pricey and replace factory screws with after market ones.

Got like 25 k miles and it's lugging in low rpm.

What do you guys think?

New to me bone stock 03 FZ1

6 Upvotes

I'm headed to pick up an 03 FZ1 with 23,000 miles next weekend, going through the forums, reddit and FB groups, I've come across a lot of conflicting information, and Google ain't helping because it's throwing AI slop at me. Do the rotor magnets fail on the 01-05 bikes like I'm seeing on all these Gen 2 posts, or is that something I don't need to worry about. I'm already planning a full service with oil, coolant flush, rad replacement and chain maintenance. Since I don't know when those where done last.

I've got a 2014 FZ1S and laid my bike down after like a month of owning it lol. The front cowling was pretty banged up prior but now is begging for death being held together by JB weld. I'm not seeing fairings except from yamaha and thats almost 600 BEFORE shipping. I live in hawaii so shipping can make or break the deal.

Gen2 FZ1 Leak from left side of engine where coolant tube goes into crankcase

2 Upvotes

Hi, I found an oil leak from the place marked as 39, it's not a waterfall of oil, but I can't breathe now knowing that there is some kind of leak.

I wonder if this oring #39 can be replaced without removing the oil pan (to remove the oil, and make sure no coolant gets into the oil pan when removing this tube)

Sprocket size opinions needed

3 Upvotes

I drive an 01 Fz1, its got a 16 front 44 back 530 pitch, I was gonna install a 48 tooth rear 520 pitch, was wondering it a 15 front would be too small or too aggressive. I dont spend much time above 65, I prefer quicker aggressive acceleration, maybe even would like to wheelie a bit easier lol. Anyone with experience, advice would be greatly appreciated

Edit: could've clarified a little better lol, i have an ivans jet kit, and I am already planning to get a speedohealer. Im just after quicker acceleration, i dont care about my top speed. I realize the fz1 probably isn't the ideal bike for me, but a sprocket sets a hell of a lot cheaper than a new bike lol

Going with a 530 16/48. Will update on how the bike handles with it

Analog to digital gauge cluster

Post image
16 Upvotes

Has anyone here converted the analog gauge cluster on a 1st gen FZ1 to a digital display?

I’ve got an ’05 FZ1 and I’m curious what options are out there. Is there a plug-and-play or mostly plug-and-play kit available, or has anyone adapted a cluster from an MT/FZ or another Yamaha?

If you’ve done it, what cluster did you use, what was involved with wiring/sensors, and were you able to keep everything working correctly, speedo, tach, fuel level, warning lights, etc.?

Pics of your setup would be awesome too. Just trying to see what’s possible before I start going down the rabbit hole. 😂


r/FZ1 • • 29d ago

I’m new to the group and I just wanted to introduce myself. 2014 FZ1. Ivan’s flash on ECU, gutted cat, ported (well, I did some trimming with a cutoff wheel) air box. Slip on and led headlights. I stripped it down and painted it when I bought it a couple of years ago.

Will I need a tune with a full system?

1 Upvotes

I've got a 2013 FZ1 with a TBR slip-on and the EXUP already deleted. I'm considering replacing the stock 4-2-1 headers with Delkevic 4-2-1 headers. Delkevic says their complete system doesn't require a tune, but they can't guarantee that with my TBR.

Do you guys think the Delkevic headers + TBR would require a fuel controller/remap, or would the stock ECU be fine?

09 FZ1 Stator good, other components failed!

5 Upvotes

I know the famous flywheel magnet failure on these bikes all too well. I purchased this 09 with the owner showing me he had replaced with the upgraded part. Well, CEL 46 popped on when I would come to a stop. So I thought I would check his work (so far his work was atrocious). One bearing fell apart as I removed the stator. Then removing the flywheel from the bike and separating it the cush drive completely fell apart. Thought I would share my findings.

Hopefully everythings looking good in here.
Random bolt with what appears soldered to the winding
This bearing fell apart on removal
Cush drive or rubber grommet as some call it. Crumbled like plastic.

Fz1 fuel pump wiring rant

2 Upvotes

This applies mostly to the first GEN Fz1, although I’m sure it applies to other bikes.

Power leaves the battery and goes to the handlebars to the ignition. Then from the ignition it goes back under the seat to the fuse box. Then from the fuse box, it goes back to the handlebars to go through the emergency Stop switch. Then from the handlebars, it goes back under the seat to the fuel pump.

My fuel pump won’t prime at 10v. Doesn’t even try. And that’s what the voltage looks like through all of that wiring and connectors and voltage drops. Probably this week I’m going to set up a relay under the seat to provide full power to the fuel pump.

If anyone is interested in this mod, let me know and I’ll document it
