Hats off, Matt. This will be a great resource for new guys AND a wonderful repository of useful information for all existing 1-Series owners. We have a similar set up on the Yamaha FJRForum.com called the Bin o' Facts. It is set up by Generation, as there have been three distinct Generations of this wonderful Yamaha motorcycle. I am inclined to suggest similar divisions for our Ones, but that might result in too much repetition, so I will leave that up to you and the other major contributors.

Also, you may want to include a technical section for each Oner. This could include the following:
Torque specifications for common fasteners
Gear ratios for different tranny setups
Links to maintenance and upgrade videos
Tire recommendations
Aftermarket parts sources
Best OEM parts sources
Group Buys on common upgrades, e.g., exhaust, suspension, wheels
Accuracy of onboard metrics, e.g., speedometer, tach, temp, etc
Dyno test results for common mods, e.g., Dinan, etc.
Paint codes?
Recall histories of each model
Aftermarket lighting alternatives

That's all I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps. Thanks again for working so hard on this!
