Oi oi...
« on: 19 August 2013, 03:48:52 pm »
Hi everyone.

Im Matt, Englishman living in Belgium.

Just got rid of my K1300R and bought a 2009 FZ1S as my neck and back wont let me ride anything with a 'low' steering.

Bit dissapointed with the power delivery, doesnt seem to do anything under 7k rpm but its way more comfy than the K was, I have the comfort seat which helps.

No real plans to do anything with it except Ive fitted a larger rear sprocket to help liven it up a bit and crash protection throughout. Bungs, casing sliders, swingarm bung, Bar ends etc...

Im sure I'll get to know you over time with dumb ass questions and sarcastic answers

Hello MATT.welcome to the forum

IT has been written before about tbe power delivery,perhaps its just so different to your old ride.Maybe you will adjust or do some  of the mods(improvements) that some of us have.

Happy riding

Couldnt live with it how it was, felt like a 600...

After my first ride, I bought a full Akrapovic Ti racing system, that helped wake it up.
Second ride, realised I needed the AIS blockoff plates.
Fitted block off plates.
Third ride, realised she would like more air so I fitted a DNA filter but the zorst was so loud I realised I needed a Db killer.
Db killer fitted, went for my fourth ride, still wasnt happy with the power delivery.
Sent my ECU off for a reflash and yesterday was my fifth ride and Im now happy with how she runs  :evil

This is asking for a LOFO ride over to Belgium for a cheap weekend away surely!?
