    What are some good saddlebags?

    I have a set of these and they work pretty good. Keeps my stuff dry, plenty of room, I can easily take them off my bike if I need to.

    Heated Gear Draining my Battery

    UPDATE: I've been running the bike with just heated gloves and the jacket liner. So something like 90 watts. No drain so far but I literally can't add any additional draw.

    04 FZ6 Dies on throttle - sort of

    It sounds similar to what my bike was doing. I had pulled the tank to check the air filter, then went ahead and pulled the intake to adjust and lube the clutch.

    New Owner Questions
