Hello all,
My 07 FZ1 has the same issue that has plagued a few FZ1s, a cracked factory weld in the frame. I'm going to try my luck with Yamaha as the bikes only done 12k miles and is in very good condition, but seeing as it's 13 years old, I expect they'll tell me to do one, I've seen a number of guys have managed getting the work done in the US, but don't know if anyone has had any luck in the UK with that?
Alternatively, I'll get the original weld ground down and the frame rewelded. Can anyone shed some light on if this can be done with the engine in place? I'm guessing not, but thought I'd ask just in case anyone on here has managed it. I'm planning on stripping it myself, but would like an idea of how big of a job it'll be and what needs to come off.
Thanks,
