I would ask security, LP function, or whatever parking policy you have. It likely outlines all signage and any caveats. I know at my company the motorcycle parking is enforced, but only from April to October. After that it is explicitly stated to be open parking though the signage remains.

Nope no ABS, I suppose I can't say its not a lock up at all. I really don't have a good sense for what that feels like, but I assumed I'd be on the ground or it at least wouldn't have bounced like that. It was a while ago, so it was a little out of my head, I'm guessing if it was a quick lock...

Hey, I wanted to get some input from you guys on your thoughts of what is happening in this video. At about 24 seconds you can see and hear some bounce while I was under heavy braking. Wasn't sure if this is related to fork compression or something else. I would not believe that it is due to...

I had some questions about some things I've read on the forums re: dragging parts on the track. As I've read in the forums some people have removed their center stands because they've said it drags when leaning on the track. I wanted to describe my experiance at the track yesterday and get an...

I'll buy them at the price. Although you'll probably have better luck on ebay or even returning them. If you paid full retail, then 20% would be better off than the 150. Anyway, let me know as I'm interested.

I was riding next to a random guy on the interstate that was riding a bike with a fender eliminator to where the turn signals were integrated in the brake light. The plate was mounted far up under the bike and could pivot. W/O reaching too hard he was able to pull the plate so it that the...

I switched to these after riding 3k miles on 5 year old stock tires (I bought a 2008 with low miles). I'm absolutely in love with them. I've got about 1000 or so miles on them and they still looking great. I have a track day scheduled later this month. The grip was such a night and day...

I'll stand in line hoping all others fall through :)

Rapid Transit Recon 19. One purchase I've been the most happy with. Not too big, but big enough. Cell phone and map holder on top. Tons of little zippered pockets for change, keys, ear plugs, etc.

So I bought a 2008 FZ6 a few months back and recently succumbed to the lucky pebble getting lodged between my radiator & the fan, burning out the fan motor. In the process of replacing the fan, I discovered this nice little surprise waiting for me as I took off the airbox: I still have...

Cool, I ordered from the same place. Wanted to try to get it by the weekend, so I just happened to pick the same place. I was a little skeptical because of the boats thing. A part number is a part number but I was waiting for just something to be different. Glad to know I'll be getting the...

Thanks for the detailed pics. I was considering trying to create some sort of mesh cover, but that looks like it would work pretty well. I'll definitely be trying to implement something when I get the new part in.

Yeah that seems to be the theme... Where did you yours from?

I fell victim to, what I've found is somewhat common, the pebble getting lodged between the radiator and fan blade, burning out my fan. I've found what part number (4S8-12405-00-00 BLOWER ASSY), but cheapest I can find online is just over $200 + shipping. Dealer wanted to charge $350 just for...
