I'm the hijack king tonight - Why would your mark the filter and how? It doesn't have to be changed every time you change the oil, right? I swore up and down when I bought my bike back in June that I would do these things myself - it's an 07 with around 1500k on it... And the...

You didn't like the comfort seat? Inquiring minds want to know... much more than an hour on my bike and my skinny ass starts hurtin'... Now back to this, the OP - I could not agree more with the people that said you should "try it out/try to get used to it." I'm 5'8" in my stocking feet...

This thread delivers! :rockon: I thought I was the only one that attracted crazy women... and I'm finding myself identifying with wrightme once again - I don't just attract them, I'm attracted TO them. That being said, to the OP - careful with this one - whether you think you're "pursuing"...

The puke omelette was pretty gross, and "two girls and a cup" is disgusting, too... I can't even wrap my mind around the booger-sucking thing - that's just wrong. But I'm a nurse that works in ortho most of the time (morbidly obese people crapping in bedpans, gangrenous feet - pretty gross) -...

Good to know - around town/in traffic, I tend to hand out at around 4-6K too, just in case I see an "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" truck/car/suv coming up on me. Frankly, though - the bike still scares the mortal crap out of me above 8-10K RPMs.. I know in my head it can do...

[comedian voice] That's funny right there [comedian voice] It really is a hard.... make that a "tough" choice - we're not talking about for two days or two weeks or even two months, ya' have to give up one or the other, forever? Then make it an "impossible" choice - I couldn't do without...

Re: The debate is over. Rotella T wins! Nine pages of posts, and all I got from it was that I THINK I did okay today, buying a gallon of Rotella 15w/40 dino oil for ten bucks... (I have an 07 bought with under 1k on the clock, but sketchy "maintanence" records - I want to change the oil...

You're welcome! :D http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/8023-fz6-mod-list.html Don't know much about performance gains, to me the SOUND is the most important thing... and I happen to like the Scorpions probably as the best of the bunch... lucky me - going with them will save me 3-400...

I bought the bike having no idea wtf I was getting into. I'm NOT AT ALL unhappy about my experience so far, although I did post about it scaring the hell out of me at first. After searching on here, getting gear, and riding the bike, I've not only learned to respect the machine, instead of...

:rof::needpics::rof:

It's supposed to "warm up" first? :Flip: Kidding - mine is an 07, and I wait until the temp shows a number before I get on it... backing it out of the space and getting situated, then negotiating through speed-bump hell, where I live, keeps me off the throttle until everything is good.

Jesus, was that thing measuring the noise, the pollution, or the annoying factor? I think it was an annoy-o-meter, and he damn near pegged it.:eek: PS - I know it was measuring the noise, but still - wtf?

:rof::rof::rof:

I missed where someone said which boots would have prevented this. I'm a firm believer in ATGATT, but all my gear ain't exactly top notch - I think my Gmax helmet is about the best thing going, for the money (even for a lot more money), and my jacket doesn't match my bike, but I always wear...

Funny (and helpful) replies, guys - thanks! :thumbup: However, THIS takes the cakes as "most useful" - if I was more honest I'd tell you exactly how many embarassingly MULTIPLE minutes I've spent messing with the WRONG hole.... Ahem. More than a few. Yeesh. Seriously, must've looked like...
