I had the Pilot Powers and I was disappointed. The first time, in just two weeks into the tires I got a nail in the rear tire. Ok the nail's fault, right? But then, a few months later, I got another flat tire with a piece of tiny rock that was like 7mm x 4mm. The rock cut through the tire...

I find the topic very interesting, but I have to confess that I do not have any vibration that bothers at all at any speed, except perhaps above 100 mph, which I very-very rarely do. I find the bike to be very smooth, compared to another 3 or 4 bikes that I have had. I have it stock with...

Going to your original question...(and I am talking about my bike, FZ6-08 sold in the US): The left beam is a H4. These bulbs contain two filaments. One that is deflected towards the road, and the other that is focused towards the front. Both filaments take normally 55Watts, (and either one...
