I've been a member on the sister site, FZ6, which is an outstanding forum. Yesterday I traded in my 2008 FZ6, which I put over 10,000 miles on in 10 months, for a 2009 FZ1. Will post pics soon I hope. Just haven't had much time since yesterday. Thanks for letting me hang out.

Great talking to you too. For now, with all this rain, all I can do is sit next it and whisper sweet nothings.

Welcome. Hopefully this rain stops soon.

I spent an hour out there with her this afternoon. I gave her her heartbeat back (re-attached the battery) and the computer is all reset. Then I idled her to warm up, then gave her some steady revs at 3k, 5k, 8k and 11k for about 30 seconds each. I'm hoping this reset kills the surges I've created by modding. It seems to have worked for the moment but a ride will tell... damned rain! On the bright side, the roads are 100% washed clean!

Hey Norm, welcome to the group. Now we have our very own Norm as a member. (Cheers Reference). We'll save you a seat at the end of the bar. That will be your seat and no one else's. Post some shots of your ride buddy.

Hey, thanks. I'll get some pics as soon as the rain stops. My best friend lives in Yonkers, btw. I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Haverstraw, Rockland County. The Bronx (and the Yankees) are close to my heart.

Eric,

Did those surges start after your mods or were they there on the stock bike? And if after the mods, what did you put on?

Hi Norm. They started after the mods. Here's what I have done:

Two Brothers Slip-on Exhaust
LARS Airbox Mod
AIS Blockoff - Not removed, just blocked and re-attached the airbox tube.
De-screened the stock air filter

I did leave the battery disconnected over night and reconnected it this morning. After I got home today, I ran the bike to warm it up then at 20 sec intervals in the 3k, 5k, 7k, 9k, and 11k RPM ranges. This was to allow the ECU and O2 sensor to recalibrate with the mods done. I hope we get a break in the weather tomorrow and I can get a seat test on the road.

I have yet to hear of anyone that is 100% stock to have any issues.

You're safe until you start modding!

Ah, you read my (selfish) mind. Hope yours is straightened out.
