The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread
- Thread starter CafeRay
- Start date
Quick googling does show the first valve clearance check is at 40k kms, so I suppose if it does need an adjustment then it would require some $$$ sunk into it
Don't think so ...kids cost on the FZ8 was only a little more than his SV650s. FZ9 same upright sport tourer.
First year had some twitchiness with the throttle system. The Yammy triples set a new value for money standard.
At $5k ...pretty fine deal tho it is a first year model.
I had my CBF1000 valves checked at 35k km and none were out of spec FWIW. 53k km ....I'd say it needs doing.
Rider I met the other day with the same year as mine had his checked at 55k km for first time and several were out of spec.
No long history with the Yammy triples for high mileage - the Honda inline 4s have a big time record for going forever.

pretty close, maint sched is 42k, to check only
never owned a bike that actually needed anything more than a check at the first interval
MacDoc is correct about the 847cc CP3 engine
no history to go on, but can't see a problem sticking to the maint sched
no way I'm gonna take the valve covers off at 20K...too late, already at 30
I know good, knowledgeable mechanics are worth their weight in gold nowadays, but I'm always gonna be highly skeptical of any mechanic that says they know better than a team of engineers at a major manufacturer who designed the machine to begin with. (But yes, engineers screw up often too)

Your right, though I do recall watching a video on why companies use the numbers they do. Sometimes it's not the engineers, but the marketing and accounting teams that make them, this is so if someone sees say a bike similarly priced that needs a check done at 25k, vs one at 30k, they may be swayed to the longer intervals thinking its cheaper to own and more reliable.

yes
maintenance decisions need to be based on solid data
the 2 accepted sources are manufacturer, and industry history
a couple of mechanic's opinions don't count
and until there is some reputable history
all we have for this relatively new engine is the Yamaha maint sched
Valves on these are typically a bit tight from the factory. Not a big deal to adjust.
Insurance doesn't HAVE to be pricey. Mine isn't.

Out of curiosity I called my insurance company today for a quote on the FZ09... $45 more per year than my sv650s. I might be on an FZ sooner than I originally planned.

Another 2014 FZ-09, $1010 more, but almost half the km: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes...09/1358949295?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
Allstate. I have 2 cars, house, and my bike with them. Premium for the FZ09 was quoted at $1070 for the year.
50k is nothing to that motor but the valves should have been checked. There is little else to go wrong.

I'm $559 for the CBF1000

That's hilarious, I thought the exact same thing. I think Honda was asking around $11k msrp, so the ad pricing makes sense. Also makes it super tempting.
