keef Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I've got about 55,000ks on my second 2014 09. And I had 20,000ks on my first one. Any questions, just ask. Mines got redone suspension front and rear, Braided lines, FZ1 master cylinder, bigger 320mm R1 rotors, a flash, quickshifter, akra full system. and boring stuff like a top box and LED tail/headlights/DRL's/indicators, frame sliders, etc. Brilliant bikes, you'll enjoy it.

Member Contributer 2thdr Posted January 10, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 10, 2018 Mine is a brand new 2017. Right now I've got it apart somewhat, wiring up heated grips, TAPPS USB port, hard wired GPS mount. I'm going to go with OEM suspension for now, but later likely upgrade. Did you do a new Penske shock or go with a ZX-10R/ZX-6R part?Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Penske rear, and stoltec kit for the front. the 17 has better suspension than the 14 up front, but it still isn't that good. Suspension is a must on an 09 in my opinion. A few good guys on the fz09 forum to choose from in the US. Stoltec moto, forks by matt, and norwest spring to mind.

timmythecop Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I rode one for a week in Germany. I fell in love with that motor (even before the fueling map was fixed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 and nick at stoltec has a 6th gen. And Timmy, there seems to be some colour on that bike. Obviously a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhenley17 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Nice. I want the XSR. I've never read anything saying the 09 isn't an absolute blast. Next time the Yamaha demo truck comes through, I'm going to try to get on one or the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CVVFR Posted January 11, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2018 Great minds think alike. I sold the NC30 in November and bought a 2017 FZ-09. So far I rode it from the dealer home in the rain. Cant wait for summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to SumSum 18? Riding the Fizzer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CVVFR Posted January 11, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2018 Tony and I checked out Custer and locations for the SumSum 18 last year and I will be going back. The VFR is for touring. Couldn't imagine touring on anything else. Have you looked into moving the license plate holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted January 11, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm good with it for now. Removing the funky BMW-esque fender would just put a lot of spray up my back I'm afraid. If I took the FZ I would just trailer out to the event. Otherwise I'm on the big V-Strom...

crakerjac Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 How do you like that rear fender? Does it seem to do the job without too much buzz/rattle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No buzz and rattle at all...the damn thing is built out of tank armor I'm thinking. Many are removing it to save weight and for perceived looks. Me, I'm ok with it. Hell the bike is only 420 lbs fueled up. Take it off and I've got water and mud spray up my backside...so it's staying for now.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm going to ride out with grizfan and meet up with Axel_7 and his crew in Orofino, ID. Should be an epic trip. Hope the little Fizzer will be comfortable enough for the journey. I still need to get some sort of windscreen fitted and probably some handguards as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
