Fz1 Ownership Thread

17/45.

Someone has a wheelie-hound now...

And it's a little strange for something that makes upwards of 150 bhp to not have a steering damper as stock, no?

It's strange that any bike upwards of 100 bhp doesn't have TC

Ok it's all done except for the sprockets. Some pics, since this is an ownership thread. If anyone minds I'll create a separate thread so do let me know.

Here's the entire list of mods:

Yoshi slip on, Gutted cat, PC-V (with correct map for these mods), FCE, Lars airbox mod, BMC filter, rizoma rearsets with racing pegs, puig levers, sliders all around, custom made exhaust hanger with carbon vinyl wrap, compwerkes LTD tail tidy, integrated brake and turn lights, wheels painted gold (don't like), Tomaselli 50 mm clip ons.

To do: 16/48 sprockets with chain, stomp grips, steel lines (does it help much?), steering damper.

Nice! When do we ride?

[harishks01]

that is one pimped up and pampered ride way to go.

you seem unhappy with the gold colour wheels, why not get them coloured different. how about combo colours

[Streetfighter]

If I decide to keep the bike for longer I'll have them painted black with metallic red accents on the spokes.

Hey guys,What slip on(available in India) do you recommend?anything that gives a decent improvement at the bottom revs esp.?
and has anyone gone for a bigger front sprocket?

thank you

[Streetfighter]

Just a slip on won't make the bottom end better. At least do the air filter and airbox mod and cut the secondary butterflies. You will need a PC too. All slip ons available here.

If you want better bottom end you want a smaller front sprocket or a bigger rear sprocket or both.

[RanjithMN]

Yeah smaller sprocket,my bad.Has anyone tried it?Whats the better slip on and Full system available?
Any recommendations?

[Streetfighter]

Lower gearing is a good way to get the most out of your powerband for city and twisty riding. If you do touring on the fz then maybe not.

All slip ons are about the same. Go for the one you like the looks of and sound. I have yoshi, very loud. Akras are good but quieter. There are plenty to choose from. If you can stretch your budget get a full system. About 10hp increase in the mid range.

[RanjithMN]

Alright,thanks man.

Guys we were planning to go for a slip-on and finalized on the Racefit Growler, anyone thoughts on it brothers, i loved the note that it makes, checked out some videos and it is loud and also happened to hear Gixxer scream out in pleasure fitted with a Racefit in Bangalore, so what do you guys think, should we go for it??

[niks_devil666]

I find the growlers to be very loud. I like the Mivv and the Yoshi on the fz , sweet sound with good bass

[Streetfighter]

I love the Racefit growler. If you like it loud and mean then go for it. I'm considering changing my yoshi for that too.
