I used this last year on all my cables, worked great.
I bought my FZ with shorty levers already installed, once I rode a stock one it felt fairly uncomfortable. The reach on them was long for me...
This, the FZ6 was my first bike as well and for the first couple weeks I was a bit jittery on it. What made it much worse was the fact that my tires were completely squared off for the first 3k of riding. After putting some Michelin PR3s in, it was like a totally different bike that practically...
This is always something I've had in the back of mind, especially having been through the motions in a 3 car accident where I was t-boned and suffered a permanent back injury.
I just did a new quote for this season and insurance is still pricy.
23 single male, no moving violations...
As my first my bike (22 years old), I warned my father the morning I was going to look at and possibly buy a sport touring motorcycle that day (He's not into cars or bikes).
When I came home with it strapped to the bed of the truck and he saw the 2 brothers pipes sticking out of the back with...
Ha yep, I'm guilty of attempting this on my FZ6 just to see how much mileage I can squeeze out. I'm at a high of 54mpg US right now, I know I can hit 60 if I really try. I got 54 cruising at 75-115 on the interstate with about 3 WOT pulls, so she has more in her. Mileage was so good because I...
I do the same, when I'm in traffic I always make sure I'm somewhat in the powerband just in case.
I only coast in neutral when there are no vehicles that can pose a threat. Regardless I won't be doing this any longer on public roads where I might need to speed up if a light changes, no sense...
Awww thats no fun! ;)
I will look into those for long distance riding, not a bad idea for the interstate. Sometimes the mind wanders looking ahead, you look down at the speedo and you're speed has crept up 15mph more than you had it :eek:
Roger that, thank you gents!
FWIW, dropping down to first going over 25mph is perfectly smooth with a proper rev match (Though its very rarely necessary).
I've only done this a handful of times so far, the first 2 times were when I was still noobing around and accidentally downshifting a gear...
