• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      report.gif
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

(some pictured accessories not included – see pics below for bike as it stands now)


2006 Yamaha FZ1N - $3200 or trade for Ninja 300
  • 68,800 miles
  • Purchased Oct 2010 with 14,000 miles, I think I’m owner #3
  • Clean title in hand
  • Registered through October 2015—that’s right, you’re getting full year free reg!
  • Never crashed, dropped, raced, stunted, etc.
  • It has done 4 trackdays, and been ridden in the rain/snow/hail/ice/dirt roads/880 etc.

I bought this bike after totaling my ’04 VFR back in 2010, while living in Texas. I bought a one-way plane ticket to Los Angeles to pick it up and rode it back… then rode it back to California when I moved back here in 2011. Since then it’s been on several BARF rallies, numerous 2-up trips all over California, a weeklong trip up to Yellowstone, done a few trackdays, and more weekend hills rides then I can count, as well as being my daily commuter. It’s redonkeykong fast, torque for days, handles great, super comfortable, does well for 2-up, and looks tits. Just a great bike. However, as of last week, I’m back to my first love (another VFR), so it’s time for Fizzy to go…

Contact Info:
  • PM me here, or text/call Kegan at 808.895.9859.
  • Bike is available to see in E San Jose during evenings and weekends, or in south Fremont on weekdays (with advance notice).
  • Test rides OK with cash in hand.

Mods:
  • Naked conversion from the OEM parts catalog—this is how the FZ1 is sold in Europe. These are all stock Yamaha parts, not an aftermarket kit. I believe the conversion was done by the original owner.
  • Front suspension from an ’06 R1 (edit -may be '07-08, see replies below)
  • Brembo Master Cylinder, steel brake lines, 6-piston calipers
  • Ivan’s FCE and throttle butterflies, AIS blockoff plates, Cat/Evap/EXUP stuff removed, Power Commander 3 (a lot of people complain about the low-end fueling on the ’06 FZ1. This one is smooth as butter at any RPM or throttle opening, so surging or jerking whatsoever).
  • +1 rear sprocket, calibrated Speedo Healer
  • Rizoma conical handlebar, 42mm risers
  • Folding adjustable brake and clutch levers
  • CRG mirrors
  • Marsechini gas cap (stock included)
  • Radiator guard
  • Carbon fiber radiator shrouds, chin spoiler, front fender (stock included)
  • Powerbronze easy on/off windscreen (in case you’re a wimp)


Maintenance:
  • Complete Maintenance History
  • Last Oil/Filter Change – 1,900 miles ago (7/14) – normally change every ~4k
  • Last Valve Adustment – 18,500 miles ago (7/12) – recommended 26k intervals
  • Last Tire change – 4,800 miles ago (1/14) – Pirelli Angel GTs, they are *just* at the wear bars, few hundred miles left max
  • Last Chain/Sprocket change – 5,000 miles ago (1/14)
  • Last Battery Change – 9,800 miles ago (5/13), Yuasa YTZ14S
  • Front Suspension service (seals and oil) – 4,400 miles ago (2/14), serviced by Evolution Suspension
  • Rear Shock – Practically new, less than 2,000 miles on it
  • Throttle cables replaced and air filter cleaned this past weekend

Bad Stuff:
  • There is a *very* slight oil leak from the RH side of the engine (I think it might be from the cam chain tensioner cover, but it’s tough to tell with a leak this slow). When I say very slight, I mean the oil level through the sight glass doesn’t even go down noticeably between 4k oil change intervals, and it sure doesn’t drip. What you’ll notice is that over time, the lower RH side of the engine case gets greasy and grimy. Of course, I’ve just cleaned it off, but I took some pics before to show what it looks like when you don’t clean it off for several thousand miles. This issue has been present for the past 20-30,000 miles.
  • The countershaft sprocket shaft where the nut threads on is stripped at the very base. What I’ve done is shim the nut out using additional lockwashers, to where there are still threads to engage, and install the nut with loctite. It holds fine, and you just need to remember to use the extra lockwashers to shim out the nut when removing and reinstalling. (Ref discussion thread)

Pics? Pics! Pics:

























This is what the lower right side of the engine looks like after several thousand miles, before I cleaned it up... notice that the oil level is still fine after 1,900 miles since the last oil change:

Also, user strictlyJDM has already expressed interest, so he's first in line provided he can come check it out soon...

Edit - he said he's still waiting on another one his bikes to sell, so we're back to first come first serve.

Will also consider trading for a Ninja 300.
 
Are you sure on the year front end? I be leave it is an 07-08 that is when the R1 got 6 piston calipers.
 
Good lord that is a nice bike.

What rear shock is in there currently?

I'm not sure. I recall being told that it was an '06 (I'm not the one that put it on), and you may well be right that it's a different year. I'll edit the post to note that.

Good lord that is a nice bike.

What rear shock is in there currently?

Thanks! :teeth
The rear shock is a stocker that has less than 2,000 miles on it.
 
Bitching bike man!!!! I may convert mine to a naked later just because it looks so friggin good! When the cash is flowing again. Did you get the new vfr?
 
what camera are those mounts for?

There's a GoPro adhesive mount on the gas tank, just forward of the filler cap.

Bitching bike man!!!! I may convert mine to a naked later just because it looks so friggin good! When the cash is flowing again. Did you get the new vfr?

No, not one of the new ones. I got another 6th gen (2006), this time in white instead of red. I might have another look at the new ones once they hit the used market.
 
Sweet bike, it looks so good naked. Bump and GLWS!
 
Yea dude fair price even though for a bike miles are highhhhhh


Very cool glws!
 
Why is this still for sale?! That is one hell of a deal.

I'm wondering the same.

Thanks guys! :thumbup I think That Guy is coming to check it out this weekend... I haven't put it up on CL or anything yet, but if I still have it on Monday, it'll get listed there. Figured I'd give the BARF crew first dibs...
 
Aaaaaarg. Rode her in to work today. SERIOUSLY having second thoughts about selling. Inform wifey of said thoughts. Wifey informs me of possibility of divorce. Don't know what to doooooo!

This thing is so fun, I think it's the best lane-splitting bike I've owned (yes, better than the supermotos), so smooth, and what seems like just and endless well of power. The VFR has that wonderful V4 growl, yes... but this thing has ooomph.

Someone come take it away from me before I change my mind.
