Hey everyone! I took an extended break for about 4 months, but I finally got my bike back and ready to ride. At first, everything was good to go, but just recently the speedometer started having issues. When I turn the key the fuel pump kicks on, but the instrument cluster doesn't start up...

Well, the time has come. I ship out for basic training for the Army on Monday. :rockon: Pretty excited to go, but is was a bit depressing getting the bike ready for storage so early in the riding season. My training is going to be quite lengthy, so I am not too sure when I will be reunited...

My insurance is coming to the point of renewal on the 14th of this month, and since I leave for basic training on the 23rd, it looks like my riding season is just about over. Whenever I pack it up, it looks like I am going to have about 1000 miles on the current oil and filter (Rotella...

My stands have been a bit squeaky as of recently, so I decided I would lube them up. I was a bit unsure if taking off the spring would be an good idea. If I were to remove it, how easy is it to remove and put back on. And is there a special tool for the job? Ideally I want to remove both...

My second oil change is complete and I feel pretty good about it. After the first change, which was a complete disaster, this one was almost fun it was so easy. Last time I torqued the drain bolt to factory recommendations, and it came off no problems at all. For the filter that I hand...

Well, with not much to do this evening, I decided I would throw together a quick road trip with Google maps. Judging from the map, it looks like it should be a pretty good ride. Now all I need is some warm weather and a day off from work. Unknown road to E Broadway St - Google Maps

So, my FZ6 is a fantastic bike, but I can't seem to stay away from browsing the Triumph website and forums. The Street Triple is very appealing to me, and I really think I have to own one :) Then I found a picture of this one, and it makes me want one even more! This is one great looking...

Anyone here in the Southern Indiana area? Always looking for others to ride with. And if there are, feel free to share some good places to ride :Sport:

Alright, so recently I have noticed that my key is having a bit of trouble turning in the ignition, especially when locking the bars and removing the key after a ride. Any suggestions? This recently happened to my car earlier this summer, and it resulted in having to have a new tumbler...

Just figure I would throw this up here in the off chance someone had one they don't use. Looking for a CW-1 Dark Smoke visor for my Shoei RF1100 helmet. Looking for one in good condition.

Alright, so I like to wear my Sidi Vertigo boots under my pants, but the top opening is just too large for my leg (I have pretty skinny legs). For me, it was uncomfortable, so I wanted a way to tighten it up more. I grabbed some velcro from the garage, cut it to size, and slapped it right on...

This is my review for the Shift Havoc Leather/Textile Pants. The Shift Havoc pants are a combination of leather and textile to create a more casual riding pant, while still providing great protection to the rider. For all the high impact areas, leather is used to offer the best protection...

Thanks to this forum, I will soon be armed with proper riding boots and pants. So, I figure it is also time to pick up a quality helmet. Currently, I am still wearing my first helmet, a Fulmer Evil Spell. Whenever I got it, I knew nothing about helmets, and just went with whatever looked...

Still on my search for a good pair of riding pants. I think I am just going to get a good pair that can offer relatively good protection on some aggressive street riding sessions, as I just don't feel good in jeans. I did not want leather pants, as I felt it was just too much, but these...

Well, my SIDI Vertigo boots came in today, and while they look great and offer a lot of protection, they just don't fit my leg right. Foot is great, but the leg is way too wide. I could wear my pants under the boot to help, but I would rather not. So, I think I am going to look for another...

I am installing my FE kit that I got. I removed the side pod and found all the wiring for the back signals and license plate light. Both signals have quick disconnects on them, but the license plate doesn't. There are only two wires encased in a rubber housing. So, my question would be how...

Anyone have experience with taking their tank into a body shop for repair? It is still scared from my crash last year, and was wondering what I might expect to pay to get a repair job done. Left side has a bit of rash, and there is also a small dent on the right side. I have no experience in...

Hey everyone. While we all know that motorcycles can be dangerous, and it's the risk we all take as riders, I was curious to know how many of you guys have been involved in an accident of some type on the street, not including the track. Single Vehicle Accident Accident Involving Another...

So, today I got to thinking, my bike has been sitting in the garage for a while now and I have not done anything to it. So, I figure it needed a few simple mods! Removed swing arm stickers (finally :banghead:), painted radiator guards black, and decided upon a Fender Eliminator I want to...

Looking for a 2006 FZ6 headlight assembly in good condition. For Reference If anyone has one they may be willing to part with, feel free to let me know. Thanks!
