    Rear suspension issues

    I scraped my pegs a few times until I learned to get my upper body hung out a bit more and now no longer scrape. My suspension has 43k on it and seems fine.

    Maybe Yamaha is Listening

    Mine was fine the first time I lubed it at 42000.

    01 FZ1 Problems?

    My wife and I both had '02's (she still has hers). No issues with mine in 50k miles. I did have the Ivan's jet kit, she doesn't have it- her bike still runs well. I added risers and a Corbin seat. Great bike for shorter trips. Not as comfy as the FJR for longer ones. I put a tall...

    Dunlop or Bridgestone???

    Yeah, I finally broke down and started buying the tires on line, then taking my wheels and the tires to the shop for mounting. They only charge $25/wheel. Get the Michelins!

    Custom seats NOT made in CA?

    You can ride into Corbin and get a custom seat, of course.

    Stripped oil pan threads

    I've been using 25 ft lbs. Do you think that's too tight? Seems to be pretty easy to remove, so I think it's ok.
