Had mine since new in 2003, and I still
love it’s looks and performance.
I'm looking to get one. I just like this bike, it's a new classic
They need videos like this for every bike 😄😄
Idk anything about technical stuff but I bought a gen 1 in 2102 and have put 40k on it with very little maintenance, Yamaha done a good job with this one.
I have over 123,000 km on mine. Always a joy to ride.
@19stjohn67 I've just bought a 2003 fazer 1000, f*****g superb, 2nd gear is like a slingshot, right up to 11,500 revs!!
👏
These 1st gen FZ1s are the best.
Yup, I wish I would have kept mine. Best bike hands down Yamaha screwed them up with the more sporty style.
just picked one up,2005,11,423 miles$3500....pretty peppy bike
@@chrisoconnor9021 I picked up an 05 about 7 months ago with 16k for just a little less than that. Added a pipe and -1 +2 gearing. The gear change made the thing ridiculous! Best bang for buck mod on these bikes for sure. That's coming from someone who has had a ZX12R and a GSXR 1000.
Just picked up my 2001 FZ1 today with 14,000 miles for $2,400 Love this bike!!
I got my 03 with 1,600 miles for $3k
Best purchase I’ve ever made
The gen 1 fz1 is the 15th quickest production bike ever made for any year, and yet it is so comfortable that you can ride it all day.
Yup, i would buy another if they brought it back out. It's why I bought it, lots of power, looks good and you can ride it all day.
Love this bike i got one 2003 as my first self bougth bike, unwisely i changed for Kawasaki 636 and then HD1200, now i found one 2005 un very good conditions and i love this fzs first gen for me the perfect bike
Mine is a 2003. 33 000 km. Great machine.
I have 2 gen 1 fazer 1000s I think they are the best bike ever made. Comfortable and very fast😀
Yes they are!
Bought mine brand new in 2001, had it for 3 years and to this day regret selling it. Great bike.
Yup, I should have kept mine too...Yamaha really needs to bring it back as a standard bike, best street, touring, commuter bike.
Thanks
What a great video thank you so much 👍🏼
You are so welcome!
02 fz1 with the right mods, 100k chassis, fresh build on it (partial restore) it's a ripper
Yup, sadly Yamaha messed with it...as a Standard bike it was awesome. I'd buy one again if they brought back the original design.
I just bought a 2001 fz1 oh my God that bike super fast and super awesome I love it to bad I can't drive it tomorrow its going to rain all day in newbedford ma
Yup, one of the best bikes Yamaha made for the street. Then they changed it to be more sporty and that ruined it for me. Being a more upright riding position is what sold me on it. At the time I was looking at the Bandit 1200S and the ZRX1200. I would have saved a LOT buy buying the Bandit 1200 but it was worth the extra $2,000 to have the FZ1. I wish Yamaha would bring it back out in a standard format. If I wanted a sport bike I'd buy a sportbike.
@@Meekerextreme Yamaha doesn't need to bring it back out for you to get one again. I just bought an 02 with 6000 miles and it looks and feels pretty damn new to me. The price I paid would cause new bike buyers to vomit all over their shiny new piggy bank buster realizing how for just a small slice of brand new price, there's a sweet little gem barely broken in ready to do a man proud.
I have a 2003, and I love it.
I bought it with the super rare lower oem fairings, and it looks so sporty.
I have spent the winter servicing it, and plan to do a jet kit and better rear shock.
Can't find much to fault the bike for. It's almost too fast for a streetbike. I rarely get out of 2nd gear.
Yup they need to bring it back how it was a standard bike. It's why I bought it the upright riding position and all day comfort.
@Meeker Extreme Take the same motor, but fit fuel injection to it.
And maybe increase the HP at the crank a little due to how choked it would need to be to pass emission regulations.
It's a comfy couch, and I prefer touring on it vs a cruiser.
My 2002 has just under 20,000 miles and still runs perfectly
Man get out there and ride more...LOL I sold mine way way back in 2010 and had like 40,000-48,0000 on it. Awesome bike. Wish they bring it back how it was.
I have 6 bikes and live in upstate New York so the riding season is 8 maybe 9 months so I don't put a lot of miles on any one bike
I've had 2, sold my first to a good friend who needed a bike... and regretted it the moment the keys left my hand... I went through several bikes after that BMW 1200GS LC, fazer 2008 Gen2 ( Way too snappy throttle even after the fix, and only 200km to a tank.. Hello Yamaha what were you thinking!) Other bikes have come and gone and some have stayed ... along with my 2nd Fazer 1000 Gen2 which I found in Zurich and bought online without even testing, traveled over 8hrs to pick her up and was smiling like the first time I rode a bike… Brilliant bike.... so over engineered... and as they say they don't make em like they used to! Cheers....
Yup, if they brought back a standard motorcycle (the FZ1) I'd buy one. That is how much I miss the bike. That would get me back into street bikes. Otherwise I have no interest and will continue with Dirt Bikes and Dual Sports (one can argue a Dual Sport is a street bike but I mainly ride dirt roads with them). Even the Bandit 1200, that was what I was going to buy or a ZRX1200...yeah the manufactures are missing the point. I got the FZ1 because I didn't have to lay over and it made for an awesome trip motorcycle and was plenty fast. Yamaha and others don't get it.
Meeker Extreme yeah I love enduro riding to... but here in Switzerland it’s practically illegal but France and Italy is only a short ride away and in Europe we have the TET trails... check it out it’s awesome...
I just bought one. Tps was out. Rebuilt carbs. Engine was full of fuel. Now just replacing stripped screws. Fork seals went bad on me about a month ago. What does the fuel, oil, and temp light mean when come all together?
I wish I could remember that was another life for me.
i'm about to buy an 03 fz1 im excited it might be the bike i've always wanted ... getting a great deal because the bike is stuck in gear any idea what the culprit could be ? i'm thinking it is some spring or detents
At this point, could be. Obviously probably tear the clutch down and look at it and just make sure that looks good.
I'm guessing by now you found out what the problem was but I had a Fazer 6 stuck in gear......bent shifter inside the casing
@@gazurtoids1 I actually passed on that one and found an 04 fz1 for a little more, a lot less miles and a lot of upgrades
best bike i've ever owned
A good job for the most part, you forgot to add the valves shim check milage ?
After all it says its a maintenance video, say so at bottom. BTW it's a great bike, I like it, maybe even enough to buy one. Thanks, yl
This is NOT MY VIDEO, this is Yamaha's official video for the techs, sales and what have you at the dealerships to watch when the bike came out in 2001. At the time I started the FZ1OA, and had an inside person get me the video ;-)
Thanks, I am sure there is a way to find out, the miles to check the valves shims ?
***** From what I recall you need to check them every 28,000. I had 48,000 miles on my 2001 when I sold it and it ran fine. I used to have the service manual but it went with the bike.
That is way more than most bikes, most are checked from 12,K to 16k miles; it saves a lot of time & money to. The only thing better is the self adjusting types, but they few, these day. Sometimes I think tech is going backwards in this area. BTW how was the suspension on the older FZ1 bikes, if you still remember ? I forget things like this after a few years, its just generalisations of the bikes, or cars..lol If they stood out, that is a little different. In the tech video it seems to do well. Thanks you, yl
pre-2006 is no good, but was cool back then
You're high as hell.
Are you crazy? The gen 1 is the best. They ruined it after that.
The gen 1 fz1 is the 15th quickest production bike ever made for any year, and yet it is so comfortable that you can ride it all day.
You are totally wrong.
You are dead wrong. Read up on the Gen 1. Ask motorcycle mechanics. The Gen 1 quality is so much better than Gen 2. There is a Gen1 on RUclips with over 300,000 miles ! You will never do that with a Gen 2. I rest my case.
However if you are referring to the first year of gen 2 ( 2006) you are correct. They had major frame issues ! Had to do a tea all on Gen 2 for 2006- 2008.
