nice twist to the story (in comparison to title :)), congrats on the new bike!

After 1300 miles during the second service, used the mobil-1 10w-40 synthetic oil. There seems to be a significant difference between mineral oil vs synthetic. Engine seems way smooth, first few miles during a cold start are much more nicer. Just couldn't stop myself from sharing this...

Happy birthday wanderer............. :)

Hey folks, I am interested to join the group ride. I do want to call out that this is my first time group ride and have ridden ~1200miles in last 2 months, my first bike riding in USA. If we can close on where, I should be pretty much for it. thanks for starting the thread, Chau

Congrats on your new bike! BTW, nice write up.

Hey VegasRider, stuff looks cool and neat. I tried searching on autozone.com but couldn't find much. I will plan to stop by sometime over the weekend, in the mean time if you remember do share the brand name. BTW, my light unit is busted not just the bulb, do you think I can still mount...

sounds like a pretty good deal. The shop near here quoted $225. I did the oil/filter change but looking forward to do rest of it myself, at least attempt :)

Hmm, finally got the first scratch on my new bike........ I backed into a wall while taking out my bike :(, nothing much happened to the bike but the license plate light is broke now. Quite a few of you go for a FE kit, do you have a spare light unit I can use. I will definitely pay you...

I just completed by first 500 mile on a new 2008 fz6. Just aroundc 400 miles, I definitely could feel that bike started responding much better and felt as if it wants to ride fast. Just around the same time, I did start feeling very fine vibrations on the seat and the handlebar at 5k rpm on...

good point, as far as I understood, tire change labor should be part of the deal but not the tire price itself.

Hey folks, My dealer is quoting $1400 for a 3 year maintenance program where all kinds of service, parts (oil, filter,...) and labor are literally free. Deal expires in next 6 days. What do you guys think? Some questions that are lingering in my head: 1. will the company stay afloat...

Thank you all for all the wishes :) and for the word of caution. Its just pouring down here in NW, weekend seems to better, will definitely post pics.

After I got a 100/100 (written), 93/100 (riding) in MSF over the weekend, just went ahead and picked up the bike yesterday night. It was a great feeling riding back home with my wife giving cover with her car ;). Had to do a bunch of shopping around but dealer (motoplex lynwood) finally (I...

I am kind of newbie to bikes at least in US and I would strongly recommend one going through MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course before venturing into wild. I completed MSF over the weekend, it was worth the time and $125. On day1, I kind of gave up on the idea of buying the bike given...

hey dankatz, thanks for the offer, can you share the review with me?
