Problems: Stock voltage regulator gave into the engine heat. Stock brakes are undersized. Stock rear wheel (16") is nearly impossible to get good rubber for.
Comments:
To say I've been happy with this bike is a bit of an understatement. Sometimes a bike just plain fits and becomes a longterm companion. With the FZR1000 mods I put together the bike that Yamaha *should* have built. I've continued to improve my voltage regulator design and just built a new one in Sept '98. I've done three documented IBA rides and successfully finished 4 endurance rallies on this machine.
