hey man im riding a 2013 gen 2 as well and was wondering what is your view on the stock rear shock? mines like a pogo stick 😅 been looking at ohlins or hyperpro
Mine seems to be decently firm, I've also never set mine up for me, its whatever the previous owner had it set at. To me it sounds like your rear shock may be leaking? and basically its only using spring, which makes it feel real bouncy? Maybe check for a leak.
I'll be honest, I have never ridden an R1. Id have to say it all depends on what type of riding you plan on doing. The R1 will be a lot less comfortable in comparison to the FZ1. Obviously the R1 will be faster, but that's well above any speed limit. The Fz1 is somewhat torquey and has a bit of low end, which I find nice riding in town. Lets just say if I was 20-30 years old I'd probably buy the R1. And 30 years and above I'd go with the FZ1. Mainly for comfort lol. The FZ1 is going to be faster than you're 600 super sports and I'd think gsxr750s as well. So you'll still be able to race and beat most bikes on the FZ1, if that's what you're in to lol I know that was a big appeal to me. I love power, but also some comfort lol
@@grimsmotovlogs369 I thought you had one because of your logo lol. It's 3000$/year for plates on a R1 vs 1000$/year for a FZ1, not including insurance, so yeah I think I'll go with the FZ1 anyway lol
You will not be disappointed with the FZ1. Great all around bike. Just try and find out before you buy if the rotor/flywheel has been replaced. knowing whether or not its been replaced can be used as a bargaining tool, If you're not familiar you can check out my FZ1 Before You Buy Video
I have not, I'm just going to ride the thing for now. If it gets worse and I'm then able to diagnose it better then I will, but for now I'm just going to enjoy it,
Thank you for the video! Finally got that clutch in! It’s that dang cover ! 😂
hahaha, I'm telling you, that cover is the hardest part of the whole job! Glad you got it! Bikes running good then?

Great video! I'm hesitating between buying a 09-14 R1 vs a 08-14 FZ1, which one do you prefer between the 2 and why?
