Get the throttle bodies ballanced..

It will do that if the kickstand switch is buggered too...

Thats and interesting wind shield, looks like it covers most of the fairing from the point up. Definatly not stock. And dont worry about dialing down your leaf blower, let it rip..100MPH winds are (or should be) nothing..

No, I think you are the one missing the point. That being, if you are going to "sport tour" do it solo. Get your "pillion" her own scoot...;) That is what they (the MFGR) want you to do. Besides if your going to tour two up, get a Conny, or a wing... BTW a FZ6 is a perfect bike for...

Kind of like going from a Pinto to a Ferrari...difference..:BLAA:

Oh man, you have a poor imagination then.. Go take a liter bike for a test ride..:D

Put a plate on it, gear up and drive it to work all winter long..:D

Welcom TN, Sounds to me like you have all of the angles covered. The FZ6 is plenty of bike for him to learn on, and with your constant supervison it shouldnt be a problem. I'm sure you realize that as soon as you're not looking, it'll be reved to 14,000Rpm and bouncing off the rev...

Though it is unfortunate, at I hope she does well with her new scoot. The term "Caveat Emptor" comes to mind..

My next investment will be a Ducati Diavel.. But I wont get rid of my 4 other bikes..they just seem...lonely...ya thats it...

I can advise, and I can instruct. Advice is free, instruction you pay for.. What you do with either is up to you though..

I had them order in a few and bought one myself. (I guess they orderd 5 lol) (2nd gear is GW Cycle here in Calgary) I waited all summer, unit..finaly..they ordered some directly from Italy. IIRC it was $100 plus the plate ($40) (but dont quote me LOL) You could always go down to your...

If I am not mistaken, there has been a ton of research done on the airflow inside the intake tract and "rifleing" was investigated, and passed on. Though to be honest, I do not understand the whole thing. My understanding is that, this is why we always see smooth area's in the intake area...
