    Going to CA SB school on BMW's S1000!

    Hi Misti I'm a fairly new rider (less then 500 miles in the saddle) but I'm interested in taking a class to improve. How much experience would you recommend I get before I take the class? Also is there a certain speed I should be comfortable at before I take the class?

    Hi Guys, I replaced my crankcase / alternator cover last weekend but I had some trouble getting the dowels to line up correctly. I finally got it but was wondering is there any tips on how to put the cover on easily? The magnet kept pulling the cover in before I could properly align it a...

    Repairing the mark of shame

    I plan to replace my crankcase cover in the coming weeks. I've looked over the service manual and searched but it's unclear if I need to use the Yamaha bond No. 1215 on the crankcase cover or is a new gasket enough. Thanks!

    fz6 - hard to sell?

    I recently purchased one but spent two months searching. The main problem was distance for me as I didn't have a way to get the bike back to my apartment. I finally found a local seller. If you are having a hard time selling try listing in a 2-3 hour radius but you need to show many detailed...

    Shifter Bracket Wobbly

    Thanks for the replies. I've checked an FZ6 at the dealer and the bracket isn't as wobbly as mine. It's not a big deal, was just wondering if there was a way to firm it up a more.

    Shifter Bracket Wobbly

    The bracket which the foot peg and gear shifter are attached to is wobbly. I've tried tightening the bolts but they seem to be tightened as far as they will get. Do I have any other options other then replacing the whole bracket? It's not terribly loose but I would like it to be firmer. Thank you!
