Yamaha Fz1 Airbox Mod

[@johnrock1175]

Yes, 11 screws, I didn't know about the 11th hidden deep inside until I watched your video. Thanks!

For those curious, if you remove the bolt to the tank under the seat, you can prop the tank up with the two tabs that stick off on the same spot where the long hexbolt threads through. Remember, under the seat bolt for the tank, remove completely and lean the tank all the way up until the tabs stick behind. A breather hose may need to be popped off, easy small hose.

I love the mod video. I can’t wait to try it out.

[@DCSF09]

Is there a noticeable increase in noise of air intake following this job?

[@saxonf7984]

wood that work on the fz8

[@photographyrides7913]

i dont know about that mate i have never seen the insides of a fz8 but i know thay shere a lot of parts

[@jujigatame7820]

hi, do you get others mods on it? Flashed or mapped ECU? Do you feel q difference now about torque and power?

[@photographyrides7913]

Yeah mate there is a noticeable acceleration difference with the air box mod but i do recommend getting the bike tuned/remapped

[@jujigatame7820]

@@photographyrides7913 Hi,thank you, my fz1 is only 15 000 kms ('i'm french) and she's stock excepted an akarapovic muffler on it, i got genuine air filter that's why i ask you the question, i'll go for cut it too i guess, and flash ECU abd take off pair system too, your tuto is very good , cheers ;)

[@photographyrides7913]

@@jujigatame7820 i'm glad you like the video i hope it helps you. you mite whant a BMC Air Filter or a K&N ,even a Hiflofiltro Air Filter is better then a genuine. let me know how you go champ .

[@vicpnut1]

I’m new to my fz1 and working on bike myself but I see most that do this Lars mods usually block that ais vacuum line and ais hole on air box . Is there a reason you don’t ?

[@deffectx]

How did you kept the tank up when working in it? Isaw u used a screwdriver but sometimes is up without it.

[@photographyrides7913]

it's just resting on the handlebars

[@MiRo-ff3ts]

Is there a chance for a performance plus without Ecu flash / Software tuning?

[@JohnDoe_777]

no

[@matteozorzan5913]

Hi, can i do this change without mapping?

[@photographyrides7913]

You can mate but you won't get the full benefit from it

[@photographyrides7913]

When I did mine I also got my ECU flash

[@notthefbi6608]

Is this the same for the fz8?

[@photographyrides7913]

Yeah mate same airbox

[@stevewill3572]

My engine rpm bounces up and down when I cold start it then tapers off, why is this happening? Could it be my slip on?

[@VishnuPrasad-qu6qc]

I have the same issue on mine too

[@aveerides]

Known issue for FZ1 needs new ignition coils, you can switch positions on the existing ones if they are not worn out and see but you can get some for $70 on Amazon or R1 ones from eBay and replace all 4 of them.

[@joshsipes9654]

What is this supposed to help

[@briangiven7399]

Less resistance for air intake. More air loaded into the combustion makes for greater bang. More bang equals more power, if the ECU is properly flashed and accepting of the new settings for fuel/air ratio

[@adonysmares9146]

But if it s not ecu tuned after, if i only prepare the bike and do the mode without tuning, it s gonna change something, it s gonna run lean, or it will take the same amount of air ?

[@meusana3681]

The ecu tune is where most of the power is. This is just a supporting mod FOR the tune. No tune, no need for the mod. Simple as that. @@adonysmares9146 The bike is tuned for that little hole right now.

[@darrylbray6919]

This is an adon to a heavier ECU flash tune,just remember more air equals more wear and debri
