2008 Yamaha FZ1 review from United States of America
"Fine cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Blower never came on when the bike was overheating at slow speeds, and stopped at traffic lights; never got an over heat light. Had it at the dealer several times and the problem was never corrected. They would not troubleshoot the problem, their answer was leave it with them and they would occasionally ride it to see if they could duplicate the problem. Well I solved the problem for them, I bought a new FZ1 and I love it. Amazing how often the blower kicks on in July and has never came close to overheating.
I'm heading for Durango Co. second week in Sept. and I know the trip will be wonderful on the FZ1. Love it.
General comments?
Good looks, low seat height and easy to ride, no problems except for over heating that was a major problem and very disappointed with the dealer.
