    Sta-bil botch-up

    I was getting ready to put her away for the winter when something really weird happened. Part of my procedure for storage is to add Stabil to the gas after filling it to the top. As I read the direction on the bottle, I determined two ounces was the correct amount and removed the cap. As I...

    Help!!!!

    Whenever you get something off of E-Bay, it's buy at your own risk ! I wouldn't get anything other than things you know are going to be O.K. like gloves or a helmet. Maybe you should bite the bullit and get one from a dealer.:rolleyes:

    Tank Bags

    I don't use it reguarly, but I do like my Joe Rocket Hammerhead. It is easy to put on and off and looks like it was designed for the FZ. It has a couple of small windows on top I use for my Tom-Tom and cell. I think New Enough has them on special now.gifhumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    What's your chain lube?

    I used the Dupont and was happy with it but I visited a local dealer and bought a can of "Polaris" chain lube. This was a multi franchise dealer and the guy in the parts department said they used it on all of their bikes there. I am very impressed so far. I've lubed it twice and it seems to go...

    Jig a loo ?

    I was at the hardware store and saw a product called Jig-a-loo. In a nutshell, its a silicone based all purpose lube. I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I was thinking if it does everything it claims, it would be a very good chain lube.:confused:

    Which tires should I buy for my 2005-fz6??

    Everybody's going to have an opinion, but the best advice is to pick a few popular choices and do some research. Price is probably a factor too. I like the Dunlop Roadsmart myself.:D

    Windscreen question

    As you can tell,windscreens are very much like stereo equipment. Everybodys got a different opinion. I chose a Puig double bubble in light smoke and am very happy with the results. My main concern when I bought it was the buffeting on the freeway. It's much improved over the stock shield. So, I...

    Minor Dealer mishaps

    Most of the service work done at a dealer is done correctly. Do people post a message of how great the service was? It's mainly when something isn't done right, that the posting begins and then it's a fear game when you need to take your bike in. I don't go to the dealer for simple things ,but...
