Awesome content man, thank you.
Yw, it's been about a year, follow up videos and adventure content is incoming
Hey, yeah my '01 FZ1 had like 14,730 when I bought almost 4 years ago and now has 18,700. I guess I really don't ride it that much but when I do I really enjoy it. You are into your FZ1 more than anyone I've seen on video or where I live. Your bike is awesome and you know everything about it and you're hands-on. I'm an older guy so I never know if I should mod it or leave it with just the Ivan's jet kit and Delkevic. Even at my age I've enjoyed taking my bike on some top-end runs - indicated speed is impressive. This video was great and thanks for it.
Thank's and yw, I would say the bmw rear shock and front fork rebuild are hands down the best mods for safety and handling at little cost, makes the bike much more stable
To reduce handle bar buzz significantly I use thicker foam grips.
Johar used to make them but I think you can get them anywhere ; They're very cheap also.
I have some of the velcro on foam grips, but the vibes can still be a bit much
Fantastic Video!
I'd love to see a video of the Airbox mod/direct me to a forum explaining how to do it?
@@jamiedean5106 I may try to make a video showing what it looks like and how to do it in the next few weeks or so, it doesn't make a big difference but definitely a little on the top end, thanks for watching
Nice bike! I've got an 02 with Ivan's jet kit, ported boots, intake and full Yoshi exhaust. I also have a TFT dash display from a guy that was making them in the UK. The bike has almost killed me, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun!
Thanks, I want the digital display that replaces the fuel guage with appropriate read outs, I've not found them but have seen them in Russian fz1 vids, I know what your saying about the bike almost killing you, I've had this bike many years and raced it for years as well, it is a ton of fun
This is a great bike. I'm contemplating doing an exup delete on mine over the winter. Very nice bike.
Thanks for watching, I may not have mentioned it but I left the servo under the tank on my exup delete so it doesn't throw codes, everything else though "cable and actual exup" gone
@@ccreations123 Very nice. Exup parts are getting harder to come by (the cables are ungodly expensive).
I'm contemplating a jet kit to help the hard starting.
@@westondifranco9313 this one starts easy with an ivan's kit (requires drilling of the idle circuit to richen it), I didn't ride it much stock to remember it's starting habits, the jet kit combined with mods takes it to a whole other level on power delivery for sure though
If this is what you were telling me about, I plan to get to work on it.
Yes, there are other videos as well, at least some showing off some of its capability
@@ccreations123 I plan to play all that show off the Fz1's performance, particularly the speed.
@@korlon7354 thanks for watching and new videos on the fz1 soon
@@ccreations123 I look forward to it, and to turning my Fz1 into a true sport bike
Did the AIS eliminate some decel pops? I have a black widow exhaust in mine and with the baffle out i get some loud decel pops.
Yes, removal eliminates a lot of the decel popping
@@ccreations123 Thanks for the prompt response. It's appreciated.
Love the way this thing sounds, even more with the baffle out.
On the stock headers, when you delete the exup, do only use the outer cover, and the plate, and keep everything else off?
Im converned about leaking exhaust out of the exup since the valve is gone.
I left just enough to not leak, I don't remember exactly but I believe that I used a grinder and just took the blocker part out and left the rest for that reason (leaking potential)
@ccreations123 You removed the backerplate and left just the cover?
I'm thinking I am going to keep the plate and use the cover.
I don't think it will leak. If it does I figure out how to keep the exup valve permanently open vs removing it.
@@westondifranco9313 It will make sense when you take it apart what needs to happen there
@@ccreations123 Any chance I can email you some photos?
I have it apart, and the answer isn't apparent to me.
Hey bud with the fz1 page closing, you don’t happen to have the write up on the ravenriders front fork mod? Thanks!
No, but I still have the fork oil, (heavier) and might be able to come up with some details (overfilled oil amount) (spring cut off amount) (add that much to new spacer) may take me a couple weeks
@@ccreations123 that would be awesome thank you!
@@ccreations123 any chance you were able to find the raven rider fork mod info?
@@jakabmirgai3388 no, but, maxima 5 fork oil, I have a couple ounces left in the 33oz bottle, I don't remember the measurement but you want to over fill just a bit, for 7.5, you could use dexron vi (6) if you wanted heavier oil, the spring cut (soft part of tbe spring) and spacer measurements (spacer is longer to make up for the spring and about a quarter inch extra, doesn't need to be exact) are currently lost atm, but definitely back off spring adjusters after the mod and bring it down easy, you can actually see the adjustment in the video, new guides and seals, the overfilled oil works as a wheelie air cushion for the front end as well
Does dropping the forks speed up the steering?
Im thinking dropping increases rake angle, and makes steering faster.
Yes, it shortens the wheel base offering a better response on turn in. The rake stays the same but steering is "faster"
@ccreations123 Thank you.
I want to drop mine 5mm or so to start.
The steering is a little slow, and she's a big girl. So any help is great.
Thank you!
@@westondifranco9313 as you can see in the video the front is dropped a bit with the fork/spring mods it is night and day for sure, go for it! It definitely helps
@@ccreations123 I plan on doing a 98-01 R1 front end in the next year.
But until then, lowering the forks in the triple costs nothing.
Appreciate the responses.
What are the common issues ? Herd the 2nd gear thing . any others ?
An is the 2nd gear fix able ??
Yes, second gear is fixable (requires splitting the cases, not a cartridge style) and the charging wire under the tank with connector that gets hot that I mentioned are the major ones, I'm working on the airbox mod video soon
Airbox Mod video is up!
