Hey all, first post here just picked up a 2006 FZ1with 27k miles on it last week. Been riding bikes my whole life but never been on a sport bike. This is the most fun I've ever had riding so far, I love this thing. Has some tasteful mods already like the turn signals and a yoshi exhaust that sounds great. It's also has the corrected stator rotor installed. Only thing I want to change about it is to get a rear seat for my gf to ride with me and maybe a smoked windscreen. Any ideas or suggestions for where to get a windscreen would be cool. I can post more pictures and a video of how it sounds if anyone is interested

Looking at a 2010 with 900 miles and 2 owners. For the last owner at least I know it sat some time in storage and said did oil change and used fuel stabilizer for storing it but with no receipts of any maintenance, I would just say nothing was done. Pretty much all factory but does turn on and rides with no issues, so far. Also it was lowered an inch by first owner.
So, off the bat I will need new tires, thinking of flushing brake fluid, fuel system, change oil and look for oem parts to restore its height. Probably fork seals since it’s a 16 year old bike, for now seems there is no leaking.
Given all this, is the asking price of 6.5k usd fair? Feels like 5k would be fairer. Can’t find many with under 1k miles so don’t have much to compare it with.
Saw one in Florida 2015 4k miles for 6k but a bit far for pick up

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the forum, and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm from France and I own a 2007 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer (FZ1S).

I'm currently looking for several parts to customize and improve my bike, and I figured this community might be the best place to start!

One of my main targets is a CopperDawg Speed Screen. I'm interested in any version, including the Long, Medium, and Speed Screen 2. I know these screens are pretty rare nowadays, so finding one has been quite a challenge.

I'm also interested in other rare or discontinued FZ1 parts, aftermarket accessories, carbon fiber parts, and anything interesting for the 2006–2015 models.

I'm happy to buy from anywhere in the world, including the US, as long as shipping to France is possible.

If you have one for sale, know someone who might be willing to sell theirs, or have any leads on where I could find one, I'd really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to learning from the community. Feel free to share pictures of your FZ1 builds too!

Cheers from France! 🇫🇷

Doing my first valve clearance adjustment on my gen 2, is it ok to have up to 0.03 over stated max in the manual? Intake range from 0.20-0.23, exhaust .25-.27. Ive also seen some people say 0.20-0.30 for exhaust but manual says 0.21-0.25, any info im missing on why i might want to set for .30 or just misinformation? Thanks

2007 Yamaha FZ1 with full new scorpion exhaust and changed fuel injection ratios what else can or should I do?

Pretty sure I have the stock windshield right now and anything above 50 mph it just blasts my chest and up with wind. Does anyone have recommendations for windscreens that raise it up more? I looked at the zero gravity options but unsure whether the double bubble will do enough or if I need to go for the sport touring. I’m about 5’8” if that helps

Hello gents.

I recently had to replace a leaking oil pan gasket on my 05 FZ1.

After I put everything back together and took a quick test ride I think I noticed a lack of engine braking... and when I parked I saw the exup valve rests in this position with the ignition off. My understanding is the fork in the pulley is supposed to align with the hole behind it with IGN off.

I would infer that I've routed the cables backwards or there is a kink or a crimp somewhere. What do you folks think?

Needing a muffler that’s cheap but works well for an 06 I just bought doesn’t have muffler

I just found them and they had a like-new gt fairing kit for 100 bucks😭😭 not available anymore though. they also have this really cool rear seat delete that can be full carbon

with import its almost 600 but man if i had the money...

As a precaution, is it better to replace both parts, or just the stator will be enough?

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..

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.

I ordered a lithium battery and it would not fit into the battery box. Is there a brand and size anyone would recommend?
Thank you in advance

My first fz1! Been looking for months and finally pulled the plug on one a week ago.

If anyone has suggestions for where to find maintenance guides and other mods especially for the first gen, please let me know!

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.

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.

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?

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.
