OK so I've had a few days with my FZ1 S and so far there are mostly things I like and some that I'm not so keen on, these have raised a couple of questions so I'd appreciate any tips.
Observations:
1. It's a bit heavier than my 600 and I nearly dropped it today after stalling on a right turn hill start (carbon can ordered, so that might help)
2. Clutch is grabby when the choke is on
3. Horn is usual Yamaha pants beeper
4. Side stand is very awkward to deploy when sitting on bike
5. Not much room under the pillion seat, can't get my disc lock and the tool bag in there.
Questions:
1. Is there a mod for the side stand to make the stubby sole catcher longer?
2. Is there a common mod for the horn?
3. My mirrors seem to be loose, should they wobble at the stem where it connects to the fairing?
4. I never used the standard pressure on my 600 - is there a recommended pressure other than the standard tyre pressure for the FZ1?
5. I changed the headlight bulbs on my 600 for Phillips Blue Vision, are there any recommendations for after market headlamps?
