Naked FZ1
What’re we doing with the guage cluster when doing a fairing delete/naked conversion? Anyone have pics of how they mounted it or what they did? Everything else I’ve got down just need some ideas

Stator rotor failed. I replaced the parts and flushed the oil. Didn’t see any contaminants in the oil or filter. Do you think the bike will be fine?

Flywheel magnets
07 FZ1 flywheel magnets let go. Multiple pieces, some welded to the stator, a few chunks missing. Code 46. New flywheel and gasket on hand. Am I screwed?

2014 FZ1 has trouble idling, but only after warming up?
I just did an oil change like 3 days ago and overfilled the oil, so the bike was idling rough due to the extra resistance. I drained some oil and now it's at the proper level. I used Motul 300V 10W-40 Ester Core.
Now the bike has an issue it didn't have before the change though, (at least that I didn't notice.) For example: I start the bike cold and it idles strong all the way to warm temps. But when I turn it off and come back say, 15-20 mins later, it will crank fine but will momentarily idle at like 800-900 rpm, so if I don't bump the throttle while cranking it it might die. Even after that it sometimes idle hunts lightly till about 154 degrees and then idles fine and level again. I haven't noticed any knocking or strange noises and the bike doesn't jerk while riding so I'm stumped.
Is this normal or should I look into it further?
Anyone had a similar issue?
Edit: When the bike idles it stays between 1200-1300 rpm

Steering stabilizer/dampener for a 2002 FZ1
I’m having a hard time finding a steering stabilizer for my bike does anyone know a good brand or where I could find one. Thank you
Edit: Only shakes in 1st gear when I’m putting some throttle on it.

'06 vs '08 Snatchy Throttle feel
Curious if anyone has rode both a '06 and '07/'08 model to share if there was any difference in the snatchy throttle feel. I was a long time owner of a '08 that I rode over 80k miles on before someone hit me, thus totaling the bike.
I have been window shopping the last 2 months for a replacement and for some reason only the 2006 models keep popping up in my area. I know the main issue with the '06 was the rough snatchy throttle which Yamaha revised over the years several iterations of the ECU, esp. immediately after it's first year release starting in 2007.
I know I can have the ECU reflashed but curious if it's really that bad and is it livable without doing it? I know I can perhaps feel it from a test ride but it's one thing to feel a small annoyance versus constantly observing it over long term ownership. Thanks in advance!

Turn signals
I've been looking into getting rid of my stock turn signals for something more sleek and came across this. It's the only bike I could find with this type of signal on the front and I think it looks awesome. I am assuming it's custom but was going to see if anyone had seen anything like it before.
Update: These are Copperdawg Binker Pods. He made them for the front and rear. They are no longer listed anywhere so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any. Fingers crossed he still has some and is willing to sell.

Stolen from Houston Texas
Please lmk if this isn’t appropriate to post here. My bike was stolen from the 77007 zip code in Houston. I’ve been out of town and it’s usually parked at the top of my parking garage so unfortunately figuring out when it was actually taken is next to impossible. Very long shot that anyone will spot it but I’ve been posting it around hoping at the very least they can’t sell it.

Blue brake levers
Smoked windscreen
TI Yoshi exhaust with some road rash from an old crash
Missing center stand

FZ1 Rotor...
So yeah,
Recently bought this bike second hand with 60k km's on it. I've done about 2000 km's on it. I was thinking about changing the rotor next winter, as i'm aware of the problems they have.
Went riding in the German Eifel with a mate and on the last night before heading back noticed my bike was not starting how it normally does. Almost as if the battery was dead. Next day we headed home which was a 400km ride. I've noticed the bike making a weird whining noise. I immediately thought about the rotor/stator. The bike ran fine so we tried to make it home. after 300km's the check engine light went on and shortly after the bike died.
Today i opened the cover and yea.. It's not good.
What do you guys think? Is it worth pulling the pan off, changing the rotor and stator or not? I found about 15 of 16 magnets back. The 16th looks like it was in pieces...
