Everyone grumbles about the FZ6 changing gears and for me, I think that some of the problem is that the gear-lever has a very long "throw" (arc that it travels through).
So, what I thought of doing is shortening the arm of the lever that is actuated on the other end of the linkage (the one...
Sorry, yes a bit of a tongue-in-cheek remark of mine about UK gallons... there's more litres in them and yes we pay nearly twice what you guys in the US pay for your fuel. We are at £5 per gallon or £1.11 per litre.... And who does it all go to? The oil companies - the high prices are as a...
You can get grip-specific glue, but I always use contact adhesive. Whatever you do, don't use epoxy or super glue or you won't be able to clean it off the next time you change grips!
No, you won't get a continuous spark. Igniton coils fire a spark on a change (interruption) of current. If you keep the current constant nothing will happen (apart from the coil getting warm).

Tried ear-plugs last week for the first time ever (on a bike) but I'm not convinced. Yes they do cut out a lot of wind noise, but they also cut down a lot of other noises too, especially sounds of the motor and of the tyres on the road. I don't know how much these contribute to the rider's...
No, you'd need to modify it to fit an H4 and also run the high-beam wire to it. There was somebody on the forum a month or so ago that did that (made an adapter to put in an H4 instead of the H7).
The issue with powder coating is that the cure process requires the item to be heated to nearly 200°C, so plastic and rubber might melt at those temps. Bronze, or any other bearing material can be left in there and either taped up or bunged (to keep the paint-powder off it).
Anodising is...
The screws that hold the baffles are underneath on the outlets. I've had mine from new and they are other. As the other guys said, it's a 2 minute job to get them out.
I'm convinced that ambient temperature has something to do with it. If you keep your bike in a warm garage, the battery lasts a long-time. That and anti-theft devices...
