Premium Member databyter Posted July 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 Went to a national park today with lots of twisties ! My bike felt it was in a family ride with 2x FJ-09 and 1x FZ-09 Well, just remember, pound for pound the FZ has very similar torque vs weight and can keep up in most situations EASILY, gets probably slightly better milage etc. Not to criticise the '09's just that ours is just as good in most common situations under 100 mph. The one I am interested in and might be bike 2 is the FJ's though. I understand they have solved most of the '09 concerns with different ecu programming and better suspension and mod'd frame, and all the other sport touring stuff is a plus for my type of riding (commuting and longer trips (I hope)). Looks like a fun day, and nice pic Databyter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amycyclenut Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Got tired of the two screws that hold on the seat so I drilled out the threads and now use a simple quick release pin for each. 3 2015 FZ-07 1986 FZ600 1974 CB450 1973 RD350 sold: 1970 CB350, 1972 CB175, 2009 Vespa S 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amycyclenut Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Replaced stock flasher relay with one to handle LED. I chose "LF1-S-FLAT: Universal Flat Motorcycle Flasher" from Super Bright LED's. Works a treat and only $9. Next up once I receive the connectors, is to install an SAE extension cable to the stock DC connection. Then, I can plug in whatever I want using SAE. 2015 FZ-07 1986 FZ600 1974 CB450 1973 RD350 sold: 1970 CB350, 1972 CB175, 2009 Vespa S 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenlord Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yesterday I read the weather. It stated showers. What I rode through was a deluge of water falling from the sky. I must say, the stock tyres handle the wet very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMoore Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Vagabond motorsports fender eliminator installed. Stock cantaloupes retained and LED replacement for the plate light I'm thinking about that same kit. What made you swap the plate light with an LED? I would think the less light on it I could get away with the better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member No Hater Posted July 26, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 26, 2015 Two of us rode about 300 miles today. Went out to some back country hills. Found one area of windy back roads through wooded mountains for a bout 30 miles and didnt get stuck behind a single car. Rode hard enough to where if we pushed it any further we would have been seriously unsafe. It was the first time either of us had really pushed the FZ. We were pleasantly surprised with its performance all through the power curve. From 3rd-5th gear it really does just scream in and out of turns and up and around hills. I really do appreciate the engine breaking and consistent power. I even got the front wheel coming off the ground accelerating out of a turns in 4th. Learned a new appreciation for her today. Had a blast! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Threeeeee looooong daaaaays in a row now and the rain won't let up so I gave Bikie a pat on the back and wiped off what looked like a tear on the mirror. 2 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member djdiddles Posted July 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 27, 2015 just adjusted the throttle cable on the bike. Would be a super easy thing to do, except I have the cage. I could only do a 1/8 of a turn with my wrench, then flip it over, and do another 1/8 of a turn. :-/ I guess that's what I get for putting cool stuff on the bike.

Premium Member No Hater Posted July 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ordered a set of Viper front and rear lift stands off Amazon so i can finally do my own maintenance I just got these last week. They do the job well. I would not recommend them for a bike much heavier than ours. Although, for the money they are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largegiant04 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Installed an EJK. Much smoother throttle response and seems to have gained back a little torque after I installed the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i dont plan on getting a heavier bike anytime soon, and with much of the weight thats been stripped off mine with mods, i'm not too worried about it. If need be i can bring em to work and weld a gusset on the joints for more strength ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueangel Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Adjusted the brake light switch for my rear brake. Brake light was going on too late after I pressed on the brake pedal. Works perfectly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
