Haha welcome!
I have yet to see any other FZ07s around SoCal.
And I've purchased the Vagamond Frame Sliders!! Made a post about it awhile back. Love 'em!
What a nice way to put their hands up so they don't share any of the "responsibility." This will just lead to more misinformation.
Yet, they don't have a problem giving me a ticket for lane-splitting "improperly."
Apparently, there's a difference between lane-splitting between the white dotted...
So I just celebrated my birthday and got parts as presents!
Thought to let everyone know the cost, install, and such in case anyone is interested in other options for their own bikes.
Pazzo Adjustable Levers in White with Red Adjuster
COST: $160 (I decided I wanted the white levers, so it...
I live in CA, and I wouldn't say lane-splitting is controversial, but not common knowledge. It isn't something the DMV decided was important enough to inform those who getting driver's licenses to know; even though there are a good number of us on the road.
I lane-split practically every time...
Just had it done last weekend.
Labor: 2 hours at $80 US (60 EU)/HR. = $160
Parts: $30 (22 EU)
Total = $190 (82 EU)
Finished it in an afternoon. Cheapest labor rate I've found locally. And I'm pretty pleased with their customer service.
Runs so much smoother now. Only difference is finding...
I had my bike in for R&D for Yoshimura to create the exhaust and fender eliminator for the FZ/MT-07.
I can only assume they are in production, but have not yet released it yet. Just letting everyone know that there's another option out there that will show up sometime in the future.
Seems like I'm pretty late to the party. I haven't even gone through all the pages of mods on this thread yet. Anyway, thought I'd add this in...
I've mentioned in my intro that I've acquired the Yoshimura exhaust and fender eliminator.
Here's what I said in my post:
"Here are two pics I...
Well what you're describing sounds a little like what happened to be when I was downshifting from 5th to 4th.
I mentioned it to my dealer during my 600 mi. and said it was most likely due to the gears not lining up when the shift happened, more likely, a user error.
And it's only happened to...
This happened to me while downshifting on the freeway. I added the throttle and received no response back… just me coasting in pure silence. Since I started to slow down even more, I down shifted again and just cranked the throttle and it "caught" on, giving me a jolt of power back.
Thankfully...
Here are two pics I have. This is the close up the exhaust.
This one has a carbon tip, but I can't answer really any of the other details since that isn't something they shared with me.
I can only think that they would be comparable to the FZ-09 prices (which are $895 for this one, and $995...
What I have yet to hear is "break-in" time. Some seats just need some time to form to your butt. Gotta give it a few thousand miles to get accustomed to your anatomy.
Can anyone with some mileage say that this has happened for them?
Hey!!
New to the forum. Just filled out the sticky called "Member Interviews" if you're interested. Been riding non-stop for the last year and a half, but I've had my license since I was 19.
No longer own a car, so bikes are all I have to get anywhere. Looking forward to learning more about...
