|
|
Problems:
Stripped the damn oil drain hole. I used to have a screw-in rubber stopper plugging the hole, but it was not a perfect seal. So, I screwed in a slightly bigger nut. It works much better but leaks a little. Next time I change the oil, I'm slipping on a washer and hopefully that will solve the problem. Just noticed front forks leaking a bit. Changed oil and still leaks though less than before. Now am looking into complete fork work -- new seals, caps, et cetera. Also, the anti-bounce gizmo at the bottom of the forks don't work. Hence, I'm thinking about doing some kind of brake work that would eliminate those gizmos. Second gear slips once or twice under hard acceleration -- I have decided not to worry about it and whack the throtle in third and higher.

The anti-dive unit works very well if you know how to maintain and bleed the system. I was also suprised... The bike is just fantastic, reliable, fast, comfortable. See you on a road somewhere in the Swiss Alps this summer...!!!

|
|
Problems:
Front brakes loose feel over time. Lower fairing only used in winter due to heat build up. Front fork seals!!! what can I say? only the FJ clubs seals have worked - so far. Squeak from rear suspension linkage, WD40 cures it for a while.
|
|
Comments:
K&N filter improved throttle response greatly, 2nd gear sends me backwards on the seat at full wack. I'm thinking of dynojets soon and a better exhaust system. Previous tyres were Avon's, The AZARO rear never budged once. The michelin's seem to be harder and give a little movement on the front in the wet, nothing nasty though. Just purchased a new project - FZR 750 1987 import just something for the weekend !!!!!!! Just completed a round trip to Spain, Macadams are wearing very well, bike was a joy to ride never missed a beat.

Modifications:
When I bought the bike it had a black large rainbow glitter piant job on it , but that will change real quick due to the fact that i had to Tore it down to get some engine work done. It has a 17" FZR 1000 rear rim with a 180 series tire on it. It has a V&H 4-into-1 pipe on it, and the exhaust is ported and polished. Also a Targa windscreen.
|
|
Problems:
Lifters were out of adjustment( to tight which Gave me low compression, leaky clutch slave cylinder, leaky front fork seals. Rear shock was froze up so I couldn't adjust it, and a few tears in the seat. That's about it for now, though I'll probably find more.
|
|
Comments:
I rode this bike for a couple of weeks before I had to tear it down and take it to the shop. Although the power was diminished due to the lack of compression, I feel I have gotten a bit of a feel for this bike. And I think once it's running correctly I will finally realize what everyone is talking about.

Modifications:
4 into 1 Lazer race pipe. I just wish Yamaha had made it a shaft drive as this would have made it simply the greatest. Tyres recently changed after after 6,000 miles still on Bridgestnes though as they give good feedback. Chain and sprockets need changing now. I found once the chain started to go it deteriorated rapidly.
|
|
Problems:
Eats tyres and cant stop chasing other bikes usually overtaking them in the process. A little heavy on the fuel though. Correction to this it is heavy on fuel at only 35 mpg around town although I have to admit I love to wind it on
|
|
Comments:
Love it. Roll on power is superb especially in 3rd. It hits 155 mph even 2 up with luggage. For such a big bike it is very easygoing in town although not exactly flickable. I wish Yamaha would bring out a shaft driven version with a full fairing and suspension updated.
