Default FAQ's(Frequently Asked Questions) F1

Hey guys figure I would make a list so this would help everyone out with questions that come along. If you have anything good or want to add let me know and ill add it to the list. I left blanks since I myself have no clue.

Here are the most common questions asked about the F1:

Are these bikes fuel injected:
No. They have a carb

Grade Gas:
87

What are the most common power mod's to do:
1.Rejet
2.-1 Front Sprocket, +2 Rear Sprocket
3.Slip On(aftermarket exhaust Have to rejet)
4.Air Filter(Have to rejet)

What are the most common body mod's to do:
1.Undertail kit
2.Hid's
3.Good frame sliders(One's that require no cuts haven't had significant luck with working)
4.Tires(Find a good brand name that's proven to work)
5.Aftermarket Windscreens
6.Good Chains

What are some good websites to get parts for it:
Oem:
www.bikebandit.com

Aftermarket:

Tire sizes:

110/80/17 front is ideal

130-150/80/17 rear is ideal.

If you change profile on any tire (second number) try and match it on the other tire.

Bias or Radial:

Supposedly you should go bias on these bikes, as the frames geometry and blah blah isn't setup to properly accommodate for newer radial technology and the difference in deflection and what not. __________________

I hear a rattle when start up and at 5,000 rpm's. What is it?:

My valves tick is this normal?:
Yes this is. In order for your valves to work properly you need to have clearance. With having clearance you get a "ticking noise" which is normal. If you don't have any clearance they will be to tight you will have major major problems.

Are the F1 good??: Here is the super review on it with spec's:

You should mention with the exhaust and the air filter "power" mods that it requires rejetting to be worth while.


Also, a FAQ we should include:


Tire sizes:

110/80/17 front is ideal

130-150/80/17 rear is ideal.

If you change profile on any tire (second number) try and amtch it on the other tire.

Bias or Radial:

Supposedly you should go bias on these bikes, as the frames geometry and blah blah isn't setup to properly accomodate for newer radial technology and the difference in deflection and what not.
