I had stopped by for supper as i am all alone out here in BC, pulled into their garage. The nephew a very helpful little boy helped me wipe some crude off of my bike. I go upstairs and he proceeded to do the seat, my windshield and a variety of other parts. Caught him before he did my tires...

I don't recommend it at all :BLAA:

I broke the cardinal rule from my MSC, and forgot that no one sees me today. Making a run into Vancouver on my way to the ferry i changed lanes with out properly shoulder checking. Quick look and away i go, but a mini van was joining the same lane, little goose on the gas and i scoot in front of...

Being a newer rider on the FZ6 i have to say i just did a quick trip from Victoria to Nanaimo, what a blast but my seat me thinks is going to be an issue. I know that the FZ6 is a little buzzy but man the stock seat gets a little uncomfortable. So where in Victoria or Vancouver (I will be...

Ha I would but I have to bring a quite abit stuff with me, I looked at shipping my stuff but way to much money. And I am only on a 3 month contract, but it should turn into full time. So yes ride the bike would be awesome but sorry cant do it. as an extra special bonus i think i will pay...

I ended up getting the Rotella oil, i have to say my bike runs cooler and quieter, though it did need an oil change which may explain both. Now all i have to do is put it on the trailer and drive to BC. yah road trip

Yes there is a ton of great info on here.

I am wondering if any of the BC instructors know the answer to this. It appears that i will be moving home, :cheer: Yah been to many years away. but i have a class 6 (learners) here in SK, I was told by SGI that it transfers acros if i write the test there. yah no kidding, but my question is...

After I got my bike I must have had at least a dozen people tell me I had a light burnt out. I was flagged down by a very nice but senile old couple on the road who told me I had a light burnt out. Found this forum, and the details on how to have two lights all the time. The first few people...

wouldn't the salt be bad for my engine ? ;-)

Thanks for the info and the laugh, whale oil eh not sure if we can get that here ;-) I ended up getting regular oil but the next oil change I go with the Shell synthetic. Now if it would only quit raining i could get back out and ride.

i went in to get some oil and a filter from the dealer today, i asked about synthetic and i was told that Yamaha recommends regular oil. I am surprised that synthetic isn't recommended ? Any truth to this and if not what is a quality synthetic that you guys have used ? Thanks in advance.

For cleaning your rear wheel there is a product called Blue Magic, great cleaner that i have used on several different types of wheels. Breaks down everything that i have ever needed to clean off of a wheel, including brake grime. Though i am not sure if it is available in the UK ?

I have the Joe rocket manta, just the small one which i really like. I can fit pretty much everything i need for a quick trip out. I haven't had any issues with it, doesn't move once it is in place.

I am not sure now if the stock lights will work, the previous owner had installed a fender eliminator so i don't have the factory mounts. i think i will fab up some mounts for LED lights and do it that way. Thanks for the help, i think that i may have to go this way, going to try and smack...

I am wondering if anyone knows a decent supplier of rear signal lights, when i bought my bike it had the single brake light and signal lights. I got a great $180 ticket today as i dont have proper signal lights on the rear, they need to be 9 inches apart. I checked with the dealer and they...

As some one who did just pick up a FZ6 as my first bike I agree with what has been said, but at the same time we just put a guy back together who wiped out on a ninja 250. This was a guy who bought a small bike and in an effort to be cool, went well beyond his skills, no matter what you have...
