that's the 06 or newer, FZ1 my bike was the 02. rear was set up for 130 lbs rider if I remember right.
REAR SHOCK SPRINGS
Recommended Shock Spring Rate: 16.835 kg/mm (use closest available)
Stock Shock Spring Rate: 7.6 kg/mm (stock)
as far as the rating. when you weight 265 some times you need to make it work.
Now would you tell your girl she cant ride? well we are just to heavy but I am ok with out you safety and all honey.
they say I can't ride a wheelie but I turn that TCS off.
My rack said I can only put 5 lbs on it. if I put the box on I am over the limit. than I put some junk in that trunk.
the rating is for liability.
FZ1 and FJ09
128hp 115hp
500lbs 462lbs wet
power to weight ratio:
.0256 .0248
26,000 mile valve adjustment
miles to a tank are about the same
for me its as close as I could find to my 2002 fz1 low end power and handling
thanks for posting the good info but lets not muddy up this up.
I ordered a 650lbs spring today. see how that works.
