    Throttle cut at cruise in the wet on 2008 model.

    Probably not the issue but I'll throw in a comment. I had the same type of problem before. I was riding on the highway at a constant RPM and the bike would surge in RPM just how you are describing. The bike actually died on me and wouldnt restart for about 10 mins, then finally did. Eventually...

    Yes I agree, that's why I said it could be worse. I am always afraid of that even with a giant chain lock and disk lock on the bike. I think its time to look into a new brighter cover.

    Thanks for the advice. I am currently at work and it is back standing upright obviously. It was probably on the ground for 10-20 minutes max.

    That would be a good idea, but can't really do that here because of how our units are built here. I think the neon colored bike cover is a good idea though. I may even rig some sort of light strip on it or put traffic cones in front of my bike.

    It was parked in front of my apartment building in a gated community. I try to keep it towards the front(closest to where you pull in from) so that it will not be hidden by cars parking beside me and be visible. It was in a easily visible spot last night, some careless driver just decided not to...

    Well it happened last night, my perfect condition bike got damaged:(. My situation could be worse, but still PO. Someone decided it was okay to do a hit and run last night on my baby. I got back from dinner and found her laying on the ground. Thankfully my frame sliders took most of the damage...

    front end vibration

    Thanks for the input guys. The tires are getting pretty worn and need to be replaced soon anyways, so I may just buy new tires and have them balanced to be sure there is no tire imperfection.If that doesn't fix it, I will do the fork oil change. Seeing as I'm in a System dynamics and vibes class...

    front end vibration

    Hopefully this doesn't scare you all but I'm looking for some advice on things to check before I take my baby to the shop. This is something that I encountered recently, but it's bothering me thinking about it. So the problem is, when I get to around 100 mph, the front end of my bike starts...

    Insurance rates

    Thanks for the input guys. I think a lot of it has to do with the area I'm in as said before. Guess I have a while to wait till I start seeing them drop :(

    Insurance rates

    Hello guys. Just wanted to get a little consensus on insurance rates. Mainly I'm wondering when they start going down. I am 20, have a 2007 fz6, and have a clean driving record. I pay $780 a year for my insurance with middle of the road coverage. I know I could reduce that by dropping coverage...

    Shoulder surgery..

    Yeah unfortunatly it is on my dominant(right) side. I'm a volleyball player(injury from that) and I'm actually having pain in both shoulders but I figured it would be better to do my dominant side first. We will see how this goes :don'tknow:

    Shoulder surgery..

    I appriciate all of the responses! Yours sounds really bad! I do have a SLAP tear on the labrum. The doctor gave me a cortisone shot first and recommended more pt(for a month) but I have already done it for 3 months this year with little effect. SO, he assumes that it will need surgery and that...

    Shoulder surgery..

    Ouch man! Yeah I have rotator cuff tendonitis and the laberal tear.. But this gives me a little hope..because one of my friends said 2 MONTHS!! That would put me out for the season pretty much here!
