Bought this bike last weekend for just something to have fun on. This is my 2nd bike, I've been wanting another since I got rid of my Kawasaki last year. This is my 1st liter bike I've ever been on and let me tell you...this thing is scary fast (I have yet to go full throttle in my lower gears because the the front end just come up so easily). Anywho it's a 2002 Yamaha fz1 freshly rebuilt motor has about 5k miles on the motor and ALOt more on the odometer lol. The head was just rebuilt 1000 miles ago with valves done with a Hot Cams shim kit. Bike handles fantastically thanks to the R1 suspension. I will be changing the rear tire to something with more grip than the hard shinkos that are on it now.
Here are the mods.
AIS delete
EX-UP delete
Ivan's jet kit
K&N Pod Filters
Exhaust
Stainless steel brake lines
R1 front bars
R1 front forks
R1 front breaks
My future plans for it (or what I'd like to do) a professional gold paint job to get rid of the rattle can gold, reupholster the seat with different material, frame sliders (color to be determined), new bar ends (color to be determined), new clutch and brake levers (color to be determined), a gold drive chain, drop and stretch it (doubt that'll ever happen but who knows) and lastly do something with the boring black wheels.
Welp that's what I have and what I'm daydreaming of doing to the bike. All constructive criticism is welcome. I'm sure ill get some Ewww comment but that's fine I realize its not for everybody...just like my civic.
