Years ago we went over to Rotterdam then joined the river Rhine,we followed that right into Switzerland through Germany,the roads seem to stay close to it and there were loads of camp sites along the river.On entering Switzerland they made us buy 1 month road tax.

Well the mods that have been carried out on the FZ1 are Cosmetic=tail tidy 1=aftermarket blue flame slip on. 2=air box intake opened up. 3=secondary flies removed,trimmed and replaced. 4=ais blocked Tested for a couple of months,worked well,sounds nice but maintained a horrible flat spot at 2800 revs , after that goes like hell. 5=removed Cat from exaust 6=disconnected co sensor 7=fitted second hand PC3 with last users map already on it. 8=fitted a 16 tooth front sprocket. Today ,roads wet but some sun so i opted for a test ride. Twenty miles later i had the biggest grin on my face, the result is fantastic,so responsive in top gear at any speed, the flat spot has dissapeared, i slowed down to 15 mph loads of times to test , twist and go,found some dry straights to test the revs through the gears, big smiles,,wayhey I almost forgot it was wet underneath, went towards a police car facing me in a layby,oops. looked down at speedo 98mph and slowing. The response all over the rev range was good,i dont know what error code was on the speedo but once i saw 146  Most of this was done odd nights in the garage,overalls and coat on, just stops me going to sleep on the couch.out there until 11.0pm some nights. But very very worth it. Billy

Yes Jacko, i have finished the 16 tooth fitting,
so now just to try it,, 37mm nut retaining the front cog,,borrowed a 38mm from my mates garage,and i had somehow the 32 mm for the rear wheel in my tool kit.
Yes it seems if you alter the breathing,in and out then you have to get a PC3 or 5 to adjust the fuelling or there is the o2 setup on the ecu.
Ideally you have to get it dynoed for the correct map but if you are not racing then there are plenty of maps written for your mods ready and very easily moved from your laptop to the power commander on the bike.

Today i fitted the power commander and hooked up the laptop,
downloaded the installed map from the previous owner,he had the same bike ,i have left that map in for the meantime,to see what he was using.
The map reads that its suits slip on exaust and aftermarket airfilter,european models, with o2 sensor disconnected,
So i have followed the o2 wire up under the tank and found a connector and duly disconnected it.
Anyone with a FZ1 disconnected the o2 sensor, ?? there are plug in devices for the socket but the dynojet web site gives maps for both so i guess it will work disconnected.
Now the 16 tooth front sprocket has arrived,, wow how big is the retaining nut???

Well the bike had a few bolt on mods when i got it, one was the Blue flame slip on so i wondered if the cat was still in there.....  And yes it was, supposedly causing too much back pressure at higher revs, so====== now i let the cat out !!!! Also the clamp bolt was rusted solid so the bolt broke, now drilled out and a new coppergreased bolt in its place. On the way is a 16 tooth front sprocket and a PC3 so boring autumn nights are more fun in the garage. Billy

It sure look like it, just one clamp to the base of the headers and the rear bolt.
Dont know how much bother it will be to get the exup cables reconnected though.

Marquez is the man, watch him go
No chance for Bradley smith, take a couple of seasons for him to get up to speed.
Cal Crutchlow,,theres a racer,,he cannot slow his pace,just race race,,dont blame him,,if you dont fall off you aint going fast enough.
Rossi,well the competition is immense,,
Stoner back in three years, after its been found out he is having an affair with Posh Spice.

Some useful advice from a tuning center
"
Yamaha FZ1 Power Commander Remap
FZ1 fans, want some more power...? Just add a slip-on muffler, a K&N air filter, a Power Commander, and stir.
Ah, that's right, don't forget to take it to your dyno shop for remapping otherwise you'll find - like this guy did after down loading maps - that it's like trying to hit the target blindfolded. That's what the Power Commander allows you to do: tune all the components to your particular bike and not some other hero's completely different configuration half way around the world.
"feel the difference"

Well if the Yam is that good how come Spies is way back in the rankings,,and oh that Cal Crutchlow,behind Rossi in the championship.
Well Cal i forgive,,he seems to be a true racer,,slow down they said, you got 2nd,,,haha , no not him,,racing fool fell off.
Spies,,well, bad luck ,,hhmm
Rossi will have a hell of a job on his hands,,Might pop over to Jerez early next season to see the progress.
Fly to Jerez from Stanstead, £60, sleep in a cardboard box,,walk the two miles to the track,,i have been there but used a hotel,,oh and the lucky thing was the hotelier took us to the race in his minibus,,result.

Hi stinkerbil, I have an FZS1 gen 2 2007 Cost me £4,500 you could probably find one cheaper , but its an awesosme bike. The end can has been changed and a tail tidy fitted, I dont know if the cat has been removed, i have blocked the air inlet on over run to stop the loud backfiring, I have cut the secondry flies down, this helped initial acceleration. Opened up the airbox inlet, fitted a Kand N filter. Now need a Power commander to readjust the fueling and its a sorted bike, i hope. http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,4456.0.htmlBilly
