I used to consistently get 42mpg on the FZ6, however the past few tanks I've only been getting 36, low enough to where I think something is wrong. I've checked the fluids, oil is new, tire pressure is fine. The only thing that's changed is that I've moved to a new city, would the huge drop in...
Yesterday I replace my rear brake fluid reservoir as my old on had a hole in it. The new reservoir stem is just a slightly smaller diameter than the old one. Because of this the hose and clamp are too loose.
I was thinking of putting a little silicone over it, to seal it and keep it in place...
Some of you may remember when I wrecked a few years back. (See this thread: http://www.600riders.com/forum/hall-shame/8823-just-got-out-er.html) Also, here is what it looked like before: http://www.600riders.com/forum/attachments/hall-shame/8238d1222241340-just-got-out-er-img_0454.jpg
Well...
I have an HJC CL-SP. I like the helmet, but it feels like whenever I go above 40 mph, it creates a windstorm in front of my face. If I'm wearing my contacts, it dries them out pretty quickly. As you can guess, that starts to be a problem other than discomfort.
I'm working on a Jerry-rigged...
So while browsing the site on my ipod a message came up telling me about Tapatalk, the app for viewing vBulletin forums. Is it worth buying the app or should I continue browsing the normal webpage?
Do any members use this? What are your thoughts?
I accidentally ordered an extra set of black fork brackets. The clamps are durable plastic, the brackets are anodized aluminum. They can be used on a Buell headlight without having to bend the tips, although you will have to cut a slot in the Buell bracket (see pics). These brackets are NOT...
I replaced my radiator yesterday, which involved removing the airbox and battery housing (I've done that many times before). After starting it up today, I noticed that it sputters just a bit when turning over and when it's sitting idle it's sound real deep and throaty.
I've checked all my...
When putting on a new wheel, I noticed that the front left (when sitting on the bike) is stuck partly closed. It's causing the wheel to not be able to spin freely (but not interfering with riding) and when I take it off the rotor, it is very hard to slide it back on, there's almost no tolerance...
Has anyone else been having problems with the site? A lot times when I try to post a reply, I get an error message saying the security token is invalid. When I press back and then submit the reply again, everything is fine.
Also, when I am viewing a thread and try to log in either by the top...
I'm trying to remove my start switch housing and ignition switch so I need to unplug them. The thing is, I can't find where to unplug these. The wires run into the frame, and I've tried to trace them but simply can't find where they plug. The haynes manual isn't any help here.
Anyone know...
The connector that plugs into my speedo is broken! Only the black plastic part is broken, all the wires and every other connector is fine. Is there any place to buy just the black plastic connector piece? The wires are still lined up so I could easily align them in the new one. I'd rather not...
While coming down down a twisty mountain road, I hit a small patch of gravel in a tight left hand turn going about 35. My rear tire slid out and I grabbed the front brake (which only made things worse). Low sided and slid. My bike got wedged under a guard rail, so did I, about 15 feet away. I...
Just finished installing my Puig sliders. All in all, took me about two hours- an hour of looking for my torque wrench (found it), 50 minutes of going out and buying the proper bits and adaptors, and 10 minutes of installing the actual sliders.
They sent me two different length bolts, and...
A motorcyclist was killed after a car pulled out in front of him. He was out of state, presumably on vacation for Labor Day. Today I hung my helmet in respect.

So I make the R1 look like a pocket bike, and the only "crotch rocket" I've ever fit on was a Busa. I heard that Honda VFR's were big. I've been looking around for a one to get in the far future, but have no idea what's out there that's sized a bit bigger. Any help?
OK long story but it has a happy ending.
Today after work I head to home depot and meet my friend there to pick up some stuff (my friend was in his car so we could carry the stuff in there) Pn the way back I'm on a four lane road, with a median in the middle. I'm in the left hand lane, and up...
Saw another FZ parked outside the movie theater, and wish I had a card or something to put on the bike. I quickly whipped these up. They're 3x5 cards that slip over one of the handlebars. Just print them out on cardstock, cut them out, cut out the hole in the middle, and keep some in your tank...
