Yamaha FZ1 Air Filter Change

[@davedortman753]

Straight-forwarded, well put together video showing exactly what needs to be done. Good job editing out the redundant steps.

[@tomobrien2628]

The center screw deadset in the middle of the airbox is a pain to get to, but there's certainly one there. Also, this is the screw (if my eyes were correct) that also pins the air filter itself in place. SO, it is easy for the filter to slip out of its proper place as you're reinstalling the lid, so do it gingerly, and install this screw first. Thumbs up

[@Snogoer97]

Helpful, thanks. I'm changing my filter tonite, and I would have removed the tank completely and from the opposite direction (and would have to remove the fuel line). This vid this saves me some trouble.

[@rossdutton9781]

Just changed me air filter to a K&N. Good video. Chilled music 🎶.. thankyou 😌

[@OCDonnyMac]

Thanks for the video. Was trying to figure out my 2008 FZ6 and this was similar enough to do the job. Twenty five minutes was spot on.

[@fredsmith3963]

Great tip on propping up the tank! Thank you for sharing!

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Fred Smith I miss that bike. I ride a Victory Magnum now.

[@fredsmith3963]

SmoothbassmanStudios Victory Magnums look nice! Definitely different than an FZ1 though. I just got my FZ1; upgraded from a Ninja 500r. Loving it so far!

[@fz13gaming]

Coming here in 2024 is great. Thank you.

[@unverbraucht11]

Hey, thanks for this man. I've got an 08 R6, and I'm wanting to do everything that I can on my own. I'm hoping that the set-up isn't different for some strange reason. I'd rather spend my time working on the filter than pay through the nose getting someone else to do it. Again, thanks a lot man!

[@bowlsem7]

Glad I downloaded this with the jamming sound. Great vid, I have an 06 FZ1. Thanks a ton.

[@sactown900]

Thanks for sharing. My 08 FZ1 just turned 3300 miles and I was wondering when to change the air filter (and how t do it). GREAT video.

[@sean9907]

I am going to change the filter, my question is,, That plug you disconnect before removing the air box lid, is that the one that gives me code 20 on my bike?

[@Wolf-Law77]

Hello brother. I really liked your video. I have also a Yamaha fazer 1000, 2010 model. I would like to ask for something if you can advise me. I’m having trouble with my head lights. It’s a bit higher than expected and I’m brining other drivers when I drive at night. Can you please advise me how to lower my lights? Or do you have any video that shows how to do it ?? Thank you in advance. Greetings from Cyprus.

If your new to bikes and have never ridden before you really need to be looking at a 600 instead of a liter bike. 1000's have way more power and a very thin line between in and out of control. Throttle control is very important on both bikes but you have more wiggle room on a 600. A 1000 will break the tires very easily and you will be on the pavement unless you know how to drift it. And since your new you probally don't know. Get a small bike to start out with and then move up.

[@Absolute_One_Official]

Thanks for the vid.Just got my package today.Going to install to my FZ1S ABS 2010 tmrw.Btw,I'm using BMC air filter.

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

There two differnces in the Fz1 and R1 except for the riding position. First the Fz has a different cam giving you more mid range torque. Since the FZ was really designed as a sport touring bike, mid range power is important for crusing. Its really weak on the low end. The R1 wins there. Additionally the gearbox has a taller 5th and sixth gear which gives you better fuel economy. Basically the FZ is more comfortable to ride, better fuel economy, and cheaper insurance.

[@donnyazoff980]

Great video mate, I am going to give it a go on my FZ1S.

[@tipenelee]

Did you find by adding the K&N filter it reduced your top speed ?

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

No. Not at the time.

[@Felix_Li_En]

I love FZ1, and by the way... I REALLY love this background music, too !!

[@steezridin6974]

How do you get the main front seat off?

[@VishnuPrasad-qu6qc]

Once you remove the rear seat, you’ll find a lever under it. Yank it to the side and the rider seat pops up

[@SasaFajkovic]

What are you spraying inside the cylinders? I couldn't find the answer anywhere (nor the reason)

[@vood00samurai]

Saša Fajković compressed air probably

[@luciax402]

what bars are those? thanks

[@tomkatseven]

good vid man,keep up the work......ride on

[@malibu188]

K&N make a great performance product. 40,000 miles on my Yamaha YZF100R with K&N filter.

[@mrti3]

Missing instructions how to remove screws. Whether cable needs removing and how etc. Small details

[@Allinfun6789]

Yes, the FZ1 is faster from 0 to 100 then the R1. After 100 mph the R1 will catch and beat you.I have raced them so I know. But as smoothbase said you absolutely do not want to start out on a liter bike. All liter bikes are dangerous including the FZ1. If you don't have experience riding a sport bike there is a pretty big learning curve.

[@docsamson2299]

Smooooooooth! 👌

[@igotyofire]

lol the 07 fz1 was my first bike, im at 21,000 miles now, no accidents , stop scaring people,lol

[@alejogs500]

Nice job man, keep it up

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Sorry, KZbin made me change the freaking music to this lame track! Please rate content!

[@techlord5573]

Now I know how to change my filter

[@elmatadrone]

background music makes me sleepy.

[@brentneves3602]

Thank you very much for this video, we'll done.👍

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

It's an oldie but a goodie!! LOL

[@goocla]

and something else? for example, candles change? ...

[@tomkatseven]

good vid,my next bike....fz1 baby!

[@strikerchamp]

Just I want to say thank you!

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

@65pont Agree the music sucked. KZbin made me change the audio cause of the music that was on there. Unfourtantly I lost the original video so I couldn't remix. it.

[@holdencraig3010]

LOVE THE MUSAK

[@mitchkey9747]

I applaud your site and appreciate your help - but- Please help:::::: Remove WHAT SCREWS for the airbox ?????? Can we please see them in a picture/video? Where are they located (the screws) and how did you get them off (what tools did you use)? What did you spray to clean the throttle body orifices? AND, ::::: When you connected the airflow sensor - could you please allow the viewers to see what you are doing and where the connection was made? Your music and the video presentation were wonderful but the content could use a little tweaking to understand. It’s composed for those who already know what they are doing and want it dramatized - yet your audience (like me) are trying to learn from you and we are confused. I’m an avid mechanic of multiple facets - but I’m learning from people like you. Can you be a little more specific?

[@bigbeanburrito2112]

Thanks

[@Ady11000]

Thanks .

[@plasticadam]

And don't trap the breather pipe under the tank like the dork in the workshop that fitted mine. Or you end up blowing the rocker cover seals and getting oil evrywhere

[@igotyofire]

two different bikes for different purposes, need to get whatever you think will be ur riding style

[@SirNC16]

You need to change that title. The 2001 fz1 is nothing Ike that.

[@RiviDude]

I like the Lame Jazzy Track...
