Unfortunately, it didn't come with a manual, but I found a PDF version which I could pass to you on CD.

Pilot Road 4 tires installed at 7,950 miles (they show very...
This is a really interesting topic to me. I'm 6'2" and I ride a stock FZ6. I've noticed that freeway riding can be terrible because of the amount of wind buffeting on my head. Of course if I bend over more it's reduced but then I'm not comfortable. I have a Shoei RF1200 helmet which I've heard...
I bought that FE on eBay and then returned it. As the previous member stated, there's a plate underneath the tail of the bik which protects and hides wiring. This eliminator doesn't work with that plate, so you end up having a gap with exposed wiring underneath. Whether you're OK with that is...
Yes, I decided to drill my exhaust after days of going back and forth. Was the $16 bit worth it? Absolutely.
I went with the "get the hole as big as you can" strategy. I drilled two 1/2" holes right next to each other and then around the edges of the holes as much as possible.

So I got a fresh set of Pilot Road 4's mounted a couple of days ago. I'm happy with the increased road comfort so far. But I really haven't scratched the surface (no pun intended) of the tires yet and my experience level is so low that I won't max out the traction capabilities anyway. I paid...
As a parent myself, I don't like to judge other parents for their parenting decisions because I don't like to be judged. Every family is its own sub-culture and it's much more appropriate for parents to decide when their kids are ready for whatever they teach them: driving, riding, guns, sex...
I paid $120 in Washington state. That's the state-subsidized price which accounted for 6 out of the 12 seats in the class. The other 6 paid like $175 or something like that. Only 6 out of the 12 students passed both tests. We had bikes provided and they had some loaner helmets, but not enough to...
I bought a an OEM replacement key as a spare. My used bike only came with one key. Do they normally come with two? I would expect they do. Cheap insurance plan in my opinion in the case that I lose my keys on a ride somehow.
I bought some Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish and got to work on the header. My bike is a 2006 with about 7700 miles and the header had surely never been polished before.

It's still not quite perfect, but it's much better.
After I finished up, I noticed that my rear brake...
