In the summer I wear short bike boots, kevlar jeans, either mesh textile or leather jacket (depending on weather), short vented gloves and my Shark speed R. In winter waterproof bike boots, kevlar jeans, RST Tundra, various different waterproof gloves, and a Caberg Duke.

Thanks Jon!! They're exactly the kind of thing I'm after. I've found them from M&P for reasonable price 😊

Yeah it definitely not an import. Besides you can switch from mph to kph on the speedo it's self by holding down one of the buttons? I'm thinking it must be a sprocket thing. I'm having my mechy give it a once over next week anyway so I'm sure he'll let me know

That's a very good point 👍 haha still wouldn't mind a small screen in time for the winter though

Yeah I am thinking a pc and Ivans map are gonna be the way to go when I've got the money to pump into it. But seeing as I spent 5k on the bike only last week, the boss isn't gonna let me spend anymore till after Xmas haha

That alright if it's set properly. Now I'm gonna need to find a way to test it haha

Just found one under my seat? Never heard of it before. I've done a quick Google and found the website but juts keep saying about correcting the speedo? I don't know why it wouldn't be right anyway? Does it mean I might not have stock gearing?
Are they any good? Or shall I get rid of it?

From what I've seen online the spots are usually silver on the fz?

I've just noticed that I have silver calipers on my bike. I've had a good look and they don't appear to have been painted or powder coated but they obviously aren't the normal ones that come with this bike. Anyone have any idea what they would be off? Only silver calipers I can find are from a 04/06 r1 but they looked a more shiney kind of silver?

Thanks for the input guys.
Can anyone recommend a nice looking screen? I can only find 2 and they are both fugly half round things. I'm hoping for something a bit sharper to match the bikes aesthetic
As for the engine mods I've looked into the AIS and seems a simple enough job. I may get round to the Cat removal one day but seems a bit more involved job.
You mentioned a K&n air filter, are they the best one for this bike? On my last bike (Yzf600r) they were terrible as they used to tear and send bits of fluff into the carbs but that was a sheet like air filter. I see the Fz's is different.
Is a remap the only way to sort out the throttle then? as that's what annoys me most. It may just be cause I'm not used to it yet but there's almost a 1 second pause between shifting and the power coming back on again so I end up momentarily being thrown forward as I lose momentum then being thrown back when the power finally comes on. Look like a right newb haha I've tried clutch less shifting but that doesn't really help. Does a quickshifter fix it at all? It's really my only gripe with the bike.

@tdmfun That's really cool. Where's that from?

Just a few things from my first week of ownership. This second gen Fz1n is my first naked bike and first litre bike so some things are taking some getting used to.
Screen or no screen? I don't yet have a screen on the bike. I've just been out on a 'spirited' ride and can honestly say I didn't really enjoy it due to what I think is wind buffeting.
At lower triple figure speeds the front end started to feel quite light and flighty so I tried leaning into it a bit more but as I lowered my head my helmet was being rocked left to right (kind of like saying no but very fast) it was so bad it actually made me dizzy for a few minutes.
Will a screen help with this? Or will it make it worse by making an area of lower pressure in front of my face?
Other thing is I have a hyperpro steering damper, again never had a damper before, and it seems very loose which I hope is normal and it also has a dial for setting it. Is this something I should play with or just leave alone? Lol
And lastly it has a standard ecu map so I'm suffering with the crap throttle response from closed to open and getting a lot of (very cool sounding) bangs from the aftermarket exhaust on deceleration. Is there anyway to smooth this out without having to spend a fortune on a power commander and dyno time etc etc?
Sorry for the essay. And thanks in advance for any advice you can give

Thanks Mick
I had some Chinese copy pazzo levers on my last bike. There were perfect good except for the fact they ended up baggier than a wizards sleeve. I had so much play in the clutch lever after a few months that I had take it off and shim it up.
I'd hate to think how their rearsets would end up.

I've only had my gen 2 a couple of days but the bridgestone t30s on it seem great.
I've put it through some paces already and there's plenty of grip and make yiu feel confident in them.
Haven't tried them in the rain yet though but all in all I'd get them again when it comes time to replace

Hey just wondering which aftermarket rearsets yoy guys are using for the gen 2? I've seen a couple of these Chinese copy ones online for £100 but I don't like to use that kind of stuff as a rule so I'm looking at some better ones, problem is I don't have a clue what's good and what's not anymore? There are brands that I've never heard of selling for £2-300? Then there's the obvious Giles etc selling for big money.
Is it still a case of you get what you pay for?

Hey guys/girls
I'm Adam. I'm a Tattooist from Essex but living in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.
I've just recently bought a 2007 FZ1n Abarth assetto corse rep. It's an absolute beaut! Once i figure out how to add picturea ill be sure to put some up.
My last bike was a Yamaha thundercat which I owned for around 3 years.
Anyways I thought I'd come join up here so expect some silly questions and possibly crude humour.
