"The Italian rider just eclipsed the previous record for the championship (349.288kph) which was also set at Mugello, by Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa in 2009 "

Sounds normal to me. Why are you trying to rev a cold engine in the first place? It's warming up, hence the higher RPM and richer exhaust. Let your bike warm up before revving/riding and you'll save yourself a ton of problems down the road.

I don't think that is solely to blame on clutching up.. thats just wear and tear. The stress on the sprocket isn't any different when clutching up than it would be if you were accelerating down a track at 13k rpm.

Ouch, sucks to be him! Perhaps he just didn't do it properly. I havent had any problems doing it this way. At least it just pops up and *then* you control the height with the throttle. With a power wheelie, you have a fist full of throttle, once it reaches a certain point it could easily flip...

new rider here chiming in... I watched a bunch of youtube tutorials this spring before getting the bike and then tried dumping the clutch in some big open empty parking lots. First things first...my right foot is touching the rear brake. Rev it up quick and as you see it start to approach...

refaced? I assume you're talking about cleaning off between where the disc attaches to the rim? I'll be taping that off anyways:)

Ya, I think Ill keep away from a clearcoat for when I want to peel it off. If i wanted something 100% durable I'd just PC:) Thanks for the tip about the gloss. Do you thik the gold is shiny enough without it/would it make a big difference?

Awesome. Good to know, thanks! Ya I find I end up with quitea bit of oil/grease on the rear rim(chain side). Ill definitely be taking off the discs as well, I'd like to do this as good as possible.

On an 07? Thats some pretty old rubber.. mileage is important when deciding when to change, but so is time. The angel Gt is an awesome tire. Likely the best rated ST tire on the market.

Hey guys, Long time since I was last on here! The first season of riding is going EXCELLENT! Did a solo 1000km ride from Ottawa down around the Adirondack mountains in New York on Saturday! Anyways, I'm looking to plasti-dip the rims of my red fz6 gold. Does anyone have any...

I do it but always blip the throttle before letting the clutch back out.

Thanks! Should be interesting trying to ride it all from Ottawa in one day, especially without any sort of GPS or knowledge about roads in the US!

Hey guys, I'm planning a day tide tomorrow from Ottawa to the Andirondack Mountains in New York state. Can anyone recommend the twisties roads in that area? I have no gps, just a printed map of the area so i'll be doing my best to use the sun as my compass while riding and since I wont have...

Good insurance always helps. I keep my bike covered and have a Krptonite lock, but have to admit that if someone REALLY wants to take the bike, they WILL take it. So, if it does ever get stolen, it's up to my insurance company to compensate me for it. I guess I should keep them updated on...

:eek: When I'm outside of the city it sits around 165-170, but in the city, or driving through a parking lot it spikes quick to 214 and if I just shut the bike off and pull out the key, it can get up 225.. I dont get it.

nice! send them a link to this thread so they can see the rewards of good customer service!

Just an idea, but how straight were your bars when that tire came back down? If they were slightly turned I imagine it could cause quite a wobble

If you like the bark and speed of the FZ6's engine, I wouldn't recommend the FZ6R. Its not the same bike at all. The z1000 looks pretty comfortable:thumbup:

Hahahahahaha it didn't even cross my mind! But no, I'm not into strippers at all. Not to derail the thread but I prefer when a girl is into me out of her own free will, not because it's her job:rockon:
