I do still own it! I ran into one of the worst major issues you can have as a 2nd gen FZ1 owner. 06-07 FZ1s were prone to frame cracking issues & mine did end up cracking. I had to swap the frame for a 2008 frame. I still love the bike but for anyone looking to buy one I would highly recommend buying an 08+ as swapping the frame was not fun lol. The only other common issue with them is the factory stator but that’s an easy fix for around $300 & personally I haven’t had any issues with mine.

@@JGreenwood238 I went for a 2010 Speed triple. It's a smooth dream machine. I even sold my 17 Tuono for it.

damn really, Sold your Tuono V4 for a speedy? i currently own a 2009 Street Triple R and a CBR1000RR and i am looking to sell my CBR for another faster naked, my options are very limited unless i wanna sell my streety too, but whats your thoughts on the Speedy vs Tuono? @@jerryx2000

I agree, when I bought this bike it had Dunlop Q4s on it and I almost laid it down the first time I rode it under 50 degrees due to the rear wheel losing traction. Most recently I ran Michelin Power 5s & was extremely happy with them, just replaced the tires again a few weeks ago & decided to give the Michelin Road 6s a try. So far I really like them! I live in Florida now & afternoon rain showers are a regular thing, both the Power 5 & Road 6 tires perform phenomenally in the rain.

@@JGreenwood238 yeh I'm running s/t tyre on my cbr1000rr. Never had a slip ect. And the centre is alot harder so they won't get a flat spot. so with a sports tyres it's gunna wear there first and can't use them beautiful sticky sides either because we need to replace them only because the centre wore out without wearing them sides out. ( really hot climates you could get away with sports tyres on street as they will heat up enough and get all it's benefits. Track use: sport tyres all the way. Hit brakes constantly on the track, fast riding perfect 👌

I find this cap. had sport touring tyres for 2 years on my Fazer 600 and trying s22 supersport tyres just made it a whole new bike, never worrying about leaning or riding anymore and finally wanting to ride for fun

Good luck to ya!!! I’m looking at bikes now too! My daughters are older now! So daddy got the bike bug again after 20 years lol! I see an FZ1 for $4000 right now! 2007 36,000 miles….

@@orlandojohnson5742 Did you get it? Im looking at a 2005 FZ1 with 14,500 miles and its going for $4300. Looks real nice though.

@@yuta5026got mine for 4000$ 6500 miles 2009 Fz1 been dropped on trailer once tho

Those people are full of shit. Ive also got a 600 hornet. The hornet feels like a bicycle next to the fz1.

@@mrboostification i understand, just rode a fz1 yesterday and it was alright

So many reviews say it lacks low down grunt.......otherwise I would buy one tomorrow. I do have a '98 1200 Bandit and love the low down pull.

This bike does lack low end power compared to other bikes. It’s not slow by any means but after owning an FZ09 & a Duke 890 I can firmly state that either one of those bikes will pull a quicker 0-60 time. There are mods that will help the midrange significantly like graves velocity stacks, & the Yoshimura full system but the FZ1 will never make solid numbers in the lower RPM range, like under 5-6k RPM. It is still a very rewarding bike to ride though, the top end pull is addicting! I’ve taken the bike on group rides and I’ve never had any trouble keeping up with other literbikes up to around 150. Due to this bike being naked I really don’t care to push it over triple digits in most cases but man it pulls like a freight train from 50-150. For every day riding at legal speeds middleweight naked bikes definitely have more to offer but I will say that the FZ1 is still a fantastic bike for 2-up riding as well as a great sport tourer.

Ikr!!! Then he does a wheelie for about 30 plus feet! I’m rolling in the floor laughing at this guy!

@@orlandojohnson5742 3 months later and my fz1 still scares me sometimes

The difference before and after the reflash was significant. The bike runs better overall, cooler, more power, and you have full power right from first gear. I am thinking about having it reflashed again though as Ivan's Performance has a new flash out and he has been perfecting his tune for this bike for years. VCycleNut is so much better than stock but on-off throttle transitions and low speed throttle inputs feel like they could still be better

@@JGreenwood238 gotcha, i personally have have no on/off throttle snatch or issues with throttle input on my 2009 FZ1, so the Vcyclenut flash should be awesome for me? I've heard nothing but positive feedback from the Vcyclenut flash so hopefully it truly is an awesome reflash 😎🤙

@@alchemist3724 it will make a big difference for sure. It was probably the most noticable improvement I've made to the bike

@@JGreenwood238 did u get it reflashed with ivan?

My bike was reflashed by VCycleNut, but I’ve also heard great things about Ivan’s flash from Ivan’s performance!

I love how mine does not hang I have the Molecule skid plate also so once it hits its like someone throws you over the log...

690 is lot heavier, go w this one

@@armandhammer98 hows its highway legs? Considered getting one but i dont like that itd be wailing on it to ride 65/75 regularly

@@NativeOfTheLand97 i dont have, I'm going to buy the ktm 500 xcf -w and convert it into a supermoto.

You were right, I did the muffler, removed reeds, Athena ECU, new tires and a few other things. I ended up selling my RM250 and my YZ450 🤣

With all these mods.....the power is the same as a YZ 450?

They are solid bikes. I always hear how unreliable they are yet I've put about 85 hours on mine so far with nothing but oil changes and air filters. I have run into one annoying problem specific to the 2020+ and that's the upper engine mounts tend to crack. I had to get mine welded but there's aftermarket options starting to come to market now.
