I TOTALLY LOVE my 2012 FZ1..!! I am NOT a "Racer" but I have done a few Track Days at Road Atlanta Raceway, and with a PC5 and full Yoshi exhaust, and a few other little 'tweaks', I top out at 175mph on GPS... in full street trim... just some masking tape over lights and mirrors... But my JOY is the Blue Ridge Mountains in North GA and NC, and the Dragon's Tail. But I am 71 years 'young' with several Artificial joints, thanks to a stupid cage driver running a stop sign and trying to kill me... So no high-speed wheelies for me, or even 'dragging a knee' (I have almost no hip rotation) but I thoroughly Enjoy Riding, and I 'keep up' with just about any other riders on the mountain roads. I enjoyed your video, it sounds just like my bike...whatever exhaust you are running. (I did not get a close look.)
That's great you're still ripping a liter bike at the track I'm impressed. Also a fan of the fz 1 it's fast enough for street and track not to mention the comfort level . Keep riding guys. 💯
I had a 06 FZ1 same as your 2012. It’s a R1 essentially. My friend totaled mine but I’m glad he’s ok. I now have SV1000s 996cc V twin slower but it’s still faster than 600s.
My FZ1 has not been "stressed" that well. I used to track ride my RC51 and a gsxr750 so those would hit top speed regularly. That liter bike power range is nice, comfortable city riding, and damned impressive until the gearing limits you out. This bike would be a blast on a track day but the suspension seems so soft compared to my sport bikes, that could be an issue. Its cold and wet today, i want to ride...
Have ridden (daily) with 3 broken ankle in past 8 months you can still shift down with a broken foot, and you can tie a rope to your left hand to shift up just let go of the throttle pull the clutch and use your right hand pull up on rope🎉 send it like me
160 with ecu flash -1,+1. Mine has a full system, pc5, ecu flash and stock gearing. I wonder how much the sproket change took off the top. There's no good place around me to try to top it out
Ya mine is down 1 in the front and up 1 in the rear with an ecu flash from vcyclenut, so same thing. The acceleration is insane. However top speed isn't as good obviously. Not that anyone needs to be going that fast anyways lol
I have an 07 FZ1....best bike ever....just be careful of stator rotor....it needs upgrading coz the magnets come loose over time and destroy the engine....check for the yamaha upgraded part
I have a 2006 FZ1S and that’s the first thing that I done to it after watching copper dawgs video on it. Yamaha has an upgraded part number for that rotor. Got mine thru Partszilla. Do you run the one less tooth counter sprocket? Or is that stock sprockets and stock rear tire size?

@dylanreid7362 They're meant to do it. When I ride 90% of my shifting, including down shifting is done without the clutch and I don't have an auto blipper or quick shifter. Constant mesh trans have all the gears synchronized and spinning at the same time. 6th is synced even when you're in 1st. It's the fastest type of transmission and why you'll see them in crazy high hp drag cars. The reason you don have them in road cars, is since all gears are spinning at the same time, and they use straight cut gears instead of helical gears, the transmissions SCREAM. It's makes the loudest supercharger whine sound like a whisper.
@@jakeyoung661 my fz1 with a different sprocket setup is around 5mph off ….starting around 40 ish is when it starts being noticeable on gps ….when really a teaming I’ve not checked it yet
@@DCSF09 believe it or not, the difference was extremely noticeable. With the fz1, the first 3 gears have retarded ignition timing. I'm using that as the engineering term. This means the power is literally restricted from factory. I believe yamaha does this for emissions standards. But once that ecu gets unlocked it unleashes the bike's true potential. Feels wayyyy less restricted and much more free
@@willysendit1328 the reason i ask is bc i just got one and im on tippy toes, and was gonna ask did you need to buy something to lower it? bc ive been watching vids and cant find someone lowering a fz1 so ive been kinda lost
@@zBakedz yes its called a lowering link. I got mine from soupysperformance. They have a video on their website on exactly how to intall it as well. Its very straight forward. You just need to make sure you adjust the rest of your suspension to match however much you lower it down. If you are already able to tip toe at stock ride height i would honestly recommebd that you dont lower it a great deal as it will affect the performance of the handling and such. From my experience a stock ride height motorcycle handles much better than a lowered one. In my case, I wasnt even capable of touching the ground at stock ride height and now thats its been lowered all the way down I can tip toe haha.
@@zBakedz no problem man. I was in your shoes and i had to do some serious digging to try and find a good lowering link haha. But mine has been great. You just need to lower the front by the same amount that you lower the rear. That way the dynamics of the bike aren't thrown off. There are plenty of videos out there on that too. Its pretty much the same for most bikes I'm pretty sure.
KTG with the Fz1 YAY YAY 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching YAYAYY 🔥

Got myself an '08 a month ago, and I have to say, this bike is bat sh#t crazy and super under-rated
Hahaha yessir! Surprises most people. That's why I love it so much
i bought my first fazer 1000 .2008 1 month ago, is such a good bike, the fastest i ever drive, is a monster! best motorbike ever.

Fz6 is fun too. People sleep on these trims just not knowing. I’ll have the fz1 at some point as well. Too comfortable and quite fast. Cheers

I have a -1 front sprocket and a +1 rear sprocket
Was this over fixed? Or do 2009+ models still have that issue?. I'm Considering one currently have a Fz6 S2 want this as a second bike.
iv got a coffman pipe ill sell to you if you like the sound of the straight pipe. the pipe is all black with red logo.
And Happy New Year! :)
Mmmmm ok. DM me on Instagram
your a super hero on that bike. the sound is glorious when your riding it that hard 🤠. you shift like a machine.
Haha thanks dude
Your FZ1 sounds pretty nice. What pipe are you running? Full exhaust or just a slip on? Details would be much appreciated! Thank you!
@1:10 you can see this kid has chose to remove it for some reason

How are you shifting in wheelies ? Are you using clutch ?
No clutch. Just let off the throttle long enough to click up a gear.
How bad is that for the bike? I usually pick it up in second

Wich mods on it please ?
Catless exhaust, -1/+1 sprockets, flash tune by vcyclenut, and jardine slip on.
Is that stock tire size? 190 50 17
Yes
@@willysendit1328stock sprockets?
@@mobleyMobley no. -1 front, +1 rear
Speedo said about 11 mph faster than your on screen mph
Every street bike I've ever had is that way.

Always WAY optimistic, the Speedo.

Mines underrated. 130 for me is 140ish
Any mods done to the FZ? ecu FLASH?
Ecu flash by vcyclenut and aftermarket sprockets. -1 front and +1 rear
