Any more info on rearset plates? Did you relocate the stockers or use R6 rearsets

Are your handle bars stock?

Edit.... my bike is completely stock with about 50k on the clock.

So I just finished my second ever track day at Gingerman raceway. My first was three years ago at ACC, and both were done on my well worn FZ6. I'm thinking I'm going to do many, many more of these and I was really impressed with what I was able to do with what is basically a standard motorcycle...

Re: Tcmalker's Dual Headlight mod? He used to be on chicagolandsportbikes too. Haven't seen him in a while, maybe he got banned from there as well. I've always found him entertaining. He's just trolling after all, I don't know why people let him get under their skin. The videos of him...

Am I the only one getting PM's from Tcmalker using a different screen name?

That's what I've been looking for! I'll have one on the way soon.

First off I'd like to say thank you all so much for the replies... Now... On to me being a dumbass. I should preface this by saying this is my second bike, and my first was a shaftie. Reading the responses at work today while thinking what happened right before this noise started. I was out...

I left the bike at home today so I'll double check The hash marks when I get out of work. I taped string to the rear tire at 5o'clock, ran the string under the bike, through the center stand, and out by the front wheel. Steered front wheel straight ahead, the placed a car rim right in front...

Ok... I did the string align on the wheels. Took me a bit to get it just right. Every time I had the wheel where I wanted, the chain wound up way too tight. After fiddling with it a bit I got it dead on. Tightened the lock nuts, torqued the axle down and took for a test ride. No noise up to 50...

Thanks for the responses all! I see the string method of aligning the rear wheel, so since its free I'll start there. Now that I think about it, I didn't notice this noise until I adjusted the chain. Judging by the hash marks by the axle all is straight, but let's see what the string method...

That's a good question. Originally I thought it was a tire noise. Both tires were severely worn, and pretty choppy. I replaced both tires, cleaned and lubed the chain, and I still have the exact same noise. Brakes looked fine when I had the wheels off. When I put the bike on the center stand...

Is there any info here (or anywhere else) on replacing rear wheel bearings on a 06 FZ6? I'm getting this weird howling noise from my rear wheel that gets worse at speed. I'm not 100% it's a bearing problem but it couldn't hurt to change them out anyway. Looks like there's a seal on either side...

I got myself the same present. I'm still playing with it a bit to get the hang of using it. How did you mount it to the helmet? I was considering using one of the mounts that came with the camera, but I'm worried wind will blow it off

I'd be interested. My stock seat is killing me.... Edit: I just saw $295. Too rich for my blood at the moment.
