    List of Motorcycle that require the least amount of maintenance

    I agree that Ducatis are GORGEOUS and are great performers, and pricey. I've never owned or ridden one. But of the three guys I know that have or had a Duc, they all have a love/hate relationship with those bikes. Two of those had numerous and continuing problems with leaks of coolant and or...

    I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille

    That's neat! But did anybody ride it onscreen? Probably was the bad guy's ride, ominous and sinister... I think that you just said that YOU believe that blue is the faster color. :cheer::rockon: Admit it! Let's not have any of this 3rd person,,, attorney talk,,, stuff. BlahBlahBlah

    What's your OEM battery life?

    Hey Cliff! The family is doing well, thanks. Rachel finished her masters, decided to work for a bit before deciding to go on further, and has moved to Houston with her very serious boyfriend. So I won't be showing up for a ride soon, but eventually, definitely! A lot of other things have...

    What's your OEM battery life?

    I replaced my original battery in its 10th year. I found out later that the real problem was that some sort of film had formed on the battery leads. Learned this when the new battery wasn't holding or regenerating the charge. The original battery passed on the tester at Autozone. Wish I'd have...

    latest project - '87 FZR1000

    Cliff / OP, If you don't get any takers for the translation in a week or so, please remind me. My ol' college roommate spent a few years in Japan and could probably translate that, or certainly knows people who could do it easily. Chris

    Change headlight to LED bulbs - will that damage rectifier/battery ??

    Any update? I'm thinking of switching to LEDs.

    Anyone interested in ECU Tuning for the FZ6?

    Count me in if Ivan will set it up for the otherwise stock bike. A year or so ago, before I installed the R6 forks :D I was looking at ECU Unleashed facilities to try to get correction for the issues that you mentioned, Tom. But it seems like they are not currently very interested in this...

    Fazr6's Fender Eliminator installed

    That looks fine. I also don't like the typical aftermarket signals. They're usually small and not very noticeable. But that was what was on the bike when I bought it - 3rd owner. I replaced the very skimpy eliminator and dim signals using an R&G tail tidy (not cheap but nice & sturdy) and I...

    Charging Issue

    Any updates? Still riding? :thumbup: I was having similar problems, similar meter readings. I think my problem was fixed by cleaning the leads that connect to the battery. My bike wouldn't start the week before last. I had a dry AGM replacement battery sitting in the garage since 2015, so...

    "Powerlet" out of business, FYI

    Yep, installed on both sides. They look great. But I didn't install the outlets yet, The W&S outlets arrived. But I'm still fiddling with how I want to make the connections and routing to the battery. The powerlet version came with a nice rubber dust cap so I'm planning to try heat shrink...

    First ride with the R6 forks on my 05 ------- WOW

    Oh, yeah - forgot about the slightly shorter front. I also forgot to tell you about the built-in radar invisibility cloak. That feature can be quite useful. But on a slightly more serious note,.. There's a new group called "Fork People" (thank you "bricks" - yes we are smug). You can join...

    Unicorn

    Ital (& 2007Fizzer) I probably should have mentioned that my FZ6 is equipped with a SpeedoDRD which corrects the speedometer. Mine required a -4.5% correction to read pretty close to accurate. If you guys are reading the speedo without correction then you probably think you are going 2-4 mph...
