    K&N air filter

    They also require constant recharges with OIL they are not efficient once they dry it. They rely on the oil to catch debris . I say go stock. ALOT more money went into development of that stock system than went into K&N's design

    where do you keep registration/proof of insurance?

    I'm with Scott on this one, ALWAYS keep your registration and insurance in your wallet. He said it all, bike gets stolen, the guy who stole it has everything he needs under the seat to get away from a police officer legally. Same thing goes for your car. I think it even says it on the...

    2006 FZ6 Crashed, Sat and Won't Run

    Yes, new fuel. I bet when you smell the old stuff you'll know why. If you google how long gas lasts its only about 3 months before it goes bad.

    Cold start, momentary tick from valve cover.

    Good to hear it worked out! Mine sometimes seems ticky in 2ed gear low rpm until its warmed up, but sometimes it doesn't do it at all cold. I'm not going to chase my tail trying to figure it out since it rarely happens. I'll check valves at 26k. at 16k already got it last year with 8k so.. lol

    Cold start, momentary tick from valve cover.

    your right we don't have hydraulic lifter. My bad lol. The BG- series of products is really good though. It's the only thing besides some Lucas we ever use on cars at the Mechanic I work at. I meant i recommend the BG MOA, but I'm not sure how it would affect the clutch, I thought we didn't...

    Cold start, momentary tick from valve cover.

    Yeah I'd say it might be one of your valve lifters taking a second to get oil pressure in and pushing it up. I'd recommend some BG-44k in there. It's a great product in my opinion and stopped some cold start valve lifter noise in a mirage my mom had.

    Opinions needed. Should I run 91 octane in my S2 FZ6 after I install performance mods?

    i run 91 always because i think it contains better additives for lubrication/ cleaning purposes. I think it has more torque in the low range with the high octane but that's just my butt telling me

    Shipping vs. Fly and pick up?

    Honestly bro, I would ship it. I'm all for a fun weekend ride. But hauling ass for 1300 miles in a three day weekend is like 430 miles a day at 60 mph average speed is 3, 7.2 hour days of riding. Doing it in 2 days would be 650 miles a day and roughly 10 hours on the bike. IF it was like 500...

    Where to buy rear fairings(eletrical covers)?

    Haha, no lane spiting here in Colorado sadly. These are from stop sign stops in the winter with snow on the ground lol. I've got frame sliders so they save the rest of the bike pretty well but that back fairing becomes a resting point when the bike falls. I've already gotten a rebuild from...

    Oh yeah my cig lighter goes right to the battery with just a 25 amp fuse in line. It's half way laid up for winter i ride my dog a mile to the mail box and back once or twice a day. no extended rides yet too icy / snowy I did just get it figured out with the title. I have a rebuilt from...

    Something strange? no start?
