I have an fz1 and I have the same pops and bangs on decel.. I am wondering if if does not harm the engine... I am afraid that the valves will go out the exhaust one day :)) Did you had any issues with that?
La honte pour le greloteux en katoche ....... + de 180CV, + de 300 km/h dans la ligne droite du mistral ... et ...... "un petite" FZ1 qui rigole derrière. LE gars , il n'ose même pas le doubler pour ne pas l'humilier ..... et ça, ce n'est pas un essai de journaleux !!!!!! Les pisse-l'huile KTM, revendez vos m....des !!!!!!
Duke having trouble keeping the front down. It looks like it would be better off on a larger more flowing track but none of that matters if the rider is not as capable as the bike. Both these riders are good. Watching these FZ1 vids are good for me and show me I have not outgrown mine and that my bike is more capable than me, so I will be keeping it. I have only had it one year and about 4000 miles so plenty left to learn on it. How much bike do you really need as a daily ride anyway? What I saw here was a 5K bike keeping up very well with a 30K bike. NZ dollars that is. It was this vid and other FZ1 vids that made my mind up to get one. Thank you. Thank you and thank you!
Is there the on-off effect on the throttle when released the throttle and accelerate again ? I found those complains on forums , what do you think about ?
Only on the 06, the 07-08-09 all have the throttle snatch fixed in the ecu, I have an 09 and test rode an 06 and the throttle snatch on the 06 was very bad, but if you re flash the 06 ecu, the problem is gone; or just buy a 07-09 and problem solved. My 09 is a beast!!
Bike needs a tune bad still got the stock tune on it it’s night and day a different bike throttle is less on off more smooth and that popping and crackling stuff is gone
Last year tracked my FZ1 twice, this year removed center stand and pegs . Added Penske shock an Quickshifter . Waiting for the warm to arrive . Thanks for the inspiration ! Ready for the spring in Colorado
Need to carry your speed much further into the curve , then brake harder..!! You won't catch very many riders by just backing off the throttle 100 yards before the turn-in. The FZ1 can handle a LOT more braking! Mine has a Yoshi R-77 full exhaust, PC5 and Ivan-Tune ECU Flash, and a modified airbox ... I've got about 150 RWHP and a top end of right at 170 mph. It is NOT 'set up' for the Track... it is my regular street bike... But I surprise a Lot of Supersports up in the mountains. Some of my riding buddies are WERA Racers!
While the stock footpeg feelers are quite low, scraping foot pegs is a tell tale sign of poor body positioning. If you are leaning that far over, you should look into leaning off the bike more to pick the bike up, which will make it much more stable as well. Or slow down on the street and keep it for the track - I'm guilty of being a hypocrite of this though.
Just wondering what sprockett size you are running? Seems like it pulls a lot harder than than stock and has a higher top speed. Would like to get that mph and acceleration out of my fz1 I have full exhaust, power cammender 5, block off plates, -1 tooth on the front sprocket opened up the air box and ported throttle bodys
Have a 2005 FZ1 and boy oh boy are these bike capable.....over 130,000km touring on the clock and more recently a track day every second week, and its ran flawlessly. Cant get any better in the jack of all trades category. Only thing I could fault is when stock its easy to scrape the exhaust and rear sets, and its a bit floaty suspension wise.
Do you still have this bike ? Just had my frame welded - 07 FZ . In Colorado so too cold We will see how things go at the track in the spring . You have the best Fz1 track video. Cheers !
A friend of mines got a Superduke and I’ve got an FZ1N - his has so much more torque - to keep up you’ve gotta really rev the Yamaha and keep on the power all the time. However, the Duke has nearly a third more cc. It depends on what you want ; it’s the FZ for me - the rush of that in-line 4 is amazing 😉
Just did a track day ...wow . I was amazed how my Fz1 performed . Noticed your rear pipe mount , no rear pegs . I was thinking of doing the same and figured you did . Do you just track the bike ? Would like to see a walk around , I’m sure I missed a few out her items
Dave Here / The FZ1N is awesome; a great all rounder and quick enough for most. My 2012 model never ceases to amaze me - will become a classic I’m sure.
Have Fz1 appropriately modified , spend most my time in the canyons, Santa brought me leathers this Christmas so I can take it to the track. See you have tires warmers , I have been on tracks with cars, shfterkarts and MX bike ...first time with the Fz ...how much did you save with just the tail mod ?
pääsuora väärin ja yleensä jarrutus väärin. Muuten rohkeeta menoa. Minut & kumppaniy löytyy myös ens kesänä voin tullla ajaan keulaa. Sulla on hyvä ote
Hello! In this clip I was running sportsmart 2. The rear tire had start to become a little bit bad, so I had to take it easy out of the corners. The day after this I changed to slicks, and it's not even possible to compare the grip. It was so much better.
Thanks a lot for you answer mate. Awesome skills. I have the same bike as you, but the naked version FZ1 N. Great machines. I don't usually do track days, I was just curious about your tires because the rear end of my bike tends to slide a bit when exiting slow corners, as this bike has huge amounts of torque. I ride Michelin Pilot Road (i know, Road says it all) at the moment but considering trying other stickier tyres maybe. Ride safe!
i want a fz1 so bad. To think you can tour on a bike like this and then hit a track day is bananas. So damn good, killer video!!
😍👍👍🤛💪
I have an fz1 and I have the same pops and bangs on decel.. I am wondering if if does not harm the engine... I am afraid that the valves will go out the exhaust one day :)) Did you had any issues with that?
Love my FZ
Don’t be so jerky on the throttle. Be smooth. You’ll get faster this way and there will be less negative input into the chassis

Nice ride buddy. FZ1N can still cut it.

What kind of windscreen is that?

What was your gearing, and did you have any mods done that you can share...
Ser och låter härligt ut.
Yeah, that is how you start circle, with big sexy wheelie!
Cant decide this or r6
Bike needs a tune bad still got the stock tune on it it’s night and day a different bike throttle is less on off more smooth and that popping and crackling stuff is gone
BrutaL BeautY !!! Nice Tuning !!! Nice Shifts !!! Lots Of Mid Range Power !!! Loads Of Torque !!! No Abs !!! Only For Real Riders !!! 🤘🤘
Epic wheelie !! Very clean mods, would love to see more pics of the bike and the rear end !! Any chance ? Cheers !!
One of my fav vids ..
Oh snap late for work but then...
Last year tracked my FZ1 twice, this year removed center stand and pegs . Added Penske shock an Quickshifter . Waiting for the warm to arrive . Thanks for the inspiration ! Ready for the spring in Colorado
Joakim has skills ...make no mistake about that !
Ooooooweee nice!!!!
so whats that like 80mph in the turns and 150 on the straights (for us americans)

Floyd Burdett I think he’s just following his mate to video him. I reckon he’s taking it easy.
He is deliberately slowing down, that F! would run circles around the Super Duke.
What rearsets are you using? The standard ones seem scratch the road at fairly low angle.
How are you not grinding your foot pegs? I hit mine on the street in tight turns

Imagine a fz1 but with the mt10 engine

Correr en recta y los caballitos muy bien pero las trazadas como el culo.
Ser nice ut. Längtar till sommaren nu....

You 20 valves on Yamaha is really superb the power is there
that is a lot of motorcycle. you started this vid like a boss,,, like everyone else clearly notices,, nice riding.
Love my Yamaha FZ1!!!

A 1000cc inline 4 should never be counted out. Beast of a bike
Dave Here / The FZ1N is awesome; a great all rounder and quick enough for most. My 2012 model never ceases to amaze me - will become a classic I’m sure.
You didn't show us your bike. Cool paint job on the Super Duke, though!
Is this a R1 rear fairing?
pasi rotti nope. It's a race fairing from a zx6r -09
Good footage man and driving! Would enjoy to get the opportunity to do this someday as well!
From what I can see...Stock foot pegs ? Did you remove the center stand ? Excellent video , I watched a few times Cheers !
Johnny Fuelbner Yes the center stand is removed. Stock footpegs, but cut aprox 2cm to avoid them to scrape.
Mate, the dress is different, but it's always a R1!
nice FZ1
Have Fz1 appropriately modified , spend most my time in the canyons, Santa brought me leathers this Christmas so I can take it to the track. See you have tires warmers , I have been on tracks with cars, shfterkarts and MX bike ...first time with the Fz ...how much did you save with just the tail mod ?
the Super Duke may seem faster but you always seem to catch up to him.
nice..
what a exhaust do you have? amazing Blubber xD
It's an SC-project slipon. But it sound like that with pretty much whatever you get, as long as the ais is still there.
hey, man, i just sold my speed triple and now cosidering buying a fz1. can you please give me some info on the bike.
Nope its too much air . Need a air box mod .. PS Change the flies..
Not gonna lie, seeing your FZ on track and hearing that motor wind up makes me miss the shit out of when I used to have a FZ also. Great riding.
