Great looking bike! Also very impressive mileage! Good luck with the sale!

Haha yep it sure does! Thanks! The BMW is my dad's 1997 R850R "Olympic Edition". Its actually pretty nice but a good bit heavier than the FZ6 so I'm not completely comfortable with it yet.

Today I spent a few hours cleaning up the bike some more since I'm on Spring Break. I removed the rear fender to get rid of all the built up dirt from that area. I also polished up the bike using Meguiar's light polish on a drill attachment. Finally I sealed the paint using Collinite 845...

The blue is definitely faster! :D

Looks awesome! Does the S1 header offer performance benefits over the S2? If so, glad I have an S1 :D

Okay cool thanks! I'll be changing the oil around once a year anyway even though I will probably put no more than 3,000 miles on the bike in that time. For now I'll try the chain cleaning and adjustment.

As far as polishing the header goes, I just used some old metal polish my dad had laying around the garage, and a foam attachment for a Velcro adapter on an electric drill. I first used a scotch pad to scuff up the crud on the exhaust and then polished it out with small amounts of polish on the...

Thanks! I will definitely check the clutch cable slack before I ride it next. I understand that these are supposed to have clunky gear boxes to begin with but compared to my brother's (his just slides into each gear smoothly) mine is definitely louder. As far as rev-matching goes, I haven't...

Haven't done much to the bike lately just been riding it. Here are some pics my brother took of it: I also recently noticed some clunkier than usual shifting compared to my brother's FZ6. Since the current oil supposedly oil had 400 miles on (from receipts from previous owner) I didn't...

Yep! I ride up a bit further north and really enjoy the 40-50s as well. I actually enjoy riding in the Summer, but in the early mornings or later evening/night is the best.

On the weekends when I get home from school I've been working on the bike and cleaning it up some more. A couple weekends ago I flushed the coolant, front and rear brake fluid, cleaned under the throttle tube/lubed the throttle cable. I found a decent amount of rust and dirt under the...

Nice looking bike! I think I saw this one on Craigslist? When I texted about it there were a few people interested already. Was this the same one?

Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll try it out when I make another post with more pictures. For now I can go back and try to fix my old posts.

Thanks! I really can't wait for it to warm up here in Georgia so we can take them out for some longer rides!

Also, does anyone know how to post images so they are full size in the post and not thumbnail size like mine are? Thanks!
