    Scraped diode/resistor for t/s & running lights

    Here's a video of almost exactly what I did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yrvmEUMFGo Rewatching the video I think I put the resistor before the diode. Don't think that should matter though.

    Scraped diode/resistor for t/s & running lights

    After doing a test run with a 220 ohm resistor and a 6 amp diode on my two wire led t/s I didn't like how it looked and went with the single fxn of the t/s. Only a few of the leds were lit in the diode/resistor running light mode and obviously dimmer. When the t/s was turned on just flowing...

    Is this something I should be worried about?? Chain rivet..

    Got a new ml yesterday and put it on last night. A bit of a pain but not too bad. Biggest headache was tightening the axle nut bc the right side kept wanting to slide backward. I finally got it, but i do have a little bit of whine off throttle in gear, below 7k rpm. Otherwise seems good.

    Is this something I should be worried about?? Chain rivet..

    Thx Motogiro! Would that mean just putting in a new master link?

    Is this something I should be worried about?? Chain rivet..

    Hey guys thanks for any help. I am a first time chain driven bike owner. I noticed while cleaning the chain last week that the rivet on the master link was missing part of the 'mushroom.' Is this something I should be worried about? The chain is an EK 530 ZZZ with like a 11,000 lb/ft rating or...

    Fender eliminator and led integrated tail/turn

    If you are doing the led ts up front I'm working on putting mine on Friday. I ordered factory connector leads off ebay for $9, can be returned to factory, no splicing. And I'm keeping the running light/ts function by installing diodes (radio shack had 3 amp and 6 amp so I went with 6), and 220...

    Fender eliminator and led integrated tail/turn

    Yeah I'm debating this idea. I love the sleek, clean look. But I do like having very visible lights. I'm thinking with the sequential function they should be as noticeable. Idk. But just in case, I ordered the f/e kit with the brackets for the t/s so I can add them later if I want. Gotta...

    Fender eliminator and led integrated tail/turn

    ? Which hanging wires? The only one that sort of hangs is the license plate led wire. but no more than the stock wires do. The exhaust is above it so can't really pull it up tight. And yes 1/8" or 5/32" bullet connectors keep all the stock connectors in place so I didn't mess with any...

    Clutch lever too tight!!

    A few days I went through the bike tightening any loose bolts/nuts. The clutch lever was really loose so I tightened it. It operated fine for about 50 miles then it started jamming. I was having to physically push the lever out to re-engage the clutch. Luckily this happened only a few minutes...

    Fender eliminator and led integrated tail/turn

    I just installed motodynamics LED integrated taillight with sequential turn signals. Also I installed a fender eliminator kit from creese1 on ebay. All I have to do is put some bullet connectors on the license plate led wires. Everything can be returned to stock too. I reused the stock fender...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hi my name is Mike. I just bought a 2006 FZ6 last Sunday. I've been riding for a little over two years now and have had a Harley Sportster and a Honda Shadow (which I traded to get this bike). So far I'm loving the bike! Love that digital display too. I've always like Yamaha's. It had right...
