    2006 Over Heating

    I wish I was at home taking pics instead of sitting at my desk... The overflow that it was coming out of is on the right side of the bike about the center stand area. I had it on the center stand last night, and it would flow out on the cross bar... The puzzling part is the overflowing...

    2006 Over Heating

    I have only owned the bike for 1200 miles. Previous to that it sat on the showroom of a used bike dealer for almost a year. I have no idea of the service history, so that is frustrating. The bike dealer has a good reputation, so I think they would help out. They are just an hour away. I...

    Insurance advice?

    I went with State Farm (some may call it Snake Farm) cause they insure everything else. I don't have medical, since my health insurance would cover me, and I have the full 100/300 coverage. I am in Iowa ( I know it is a really cheap state to insure) and my coverage is only $210/year. I...

    2006 Over Heating

    I did some more digging today... I opened the radiator cap and noticed that coolant was flowing. Even immediately after startup when it was cold. I let it warm up and no problems. I rode the bike a couple of miles pretty hard (10k in 2nd) and no problems. I rode the same track I did...

    2006 Over Heating

    It appeared to be adequately full, but I am not positive. I bought the bike 6 weeks ago, so I am not sure of the age of the coolant. I guess I should change it, any other recommendations?? How do I check the thermostat?

    2006 Over Heating

    It had to have been pissing it out the overflow as I was riding. I noticed it immediately after taking my helmet and jacket off. I know beyond a doubt that it was not on the floor prior to riding into the garage...

    2006 Over Heating

    It appears to be coming from the overflow tube. I couldn't find any leaking anywhere else, and if I am looking at the right reservoir, it appears empty now...

    2006 Over Heating

    I tried searching for anything about overheating bikes, but couldn't find anything. I was out riding today. I only rode 10 miles (just had to drop a movie off) and when I came home and parked her in the garage I noticed coolant pissing on the garage floor. The fan was running when I shut...

    Has anyone tried these with a full fairing?

    I just bought these for my 2006. I got them yesterday and hope to put them on this week, so I hope they fit. I will let you know if they don't...

    Do I need a car?

    I don't know anything about Texas (except that it is hot and everything is bigger). But I just bought a beater for when I need a vehicle. $2000 and it works for everything I need and even has A/C!!!!

    Another Headlight questions (not a mod one...)

    So I was out riding last night for only the second time on my bike. Last week I noticed the highbeam did nothing but illuminate the moon (got that fixed) but last night I noticed how much light is projected to the ground to the side of my bike. Is this normal? The light is about 3 feet in...

    oem clutch lever

    :ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban::ban: That is Heresy!!!! At least you should recommend just using a sledgehammer, that way they don't have to pick it back up off the ground ;)

    High Beam adjustments 2006

    I have had my bike for 5 weeks or so, but last night was the first time I took it out after it was really dark. I noticed that there is ZERO additional light put onto the road with I turn on my high beam. I did notice the reflectors on the TOP of the lights poles lighting up though :confused...

    How many people here are pilots?

    Just got my Fizzer 5 weeks ago, but soloed at 16. I currently have my Commercial Multi-engine, Instrument, CFI. Thought about flying professionally, and decided that getting a business degree should allow me to fly for fun... I am SOOOO right. I get to fly 1-4 times/month for work, so...

    First Gear Rainier

    I am looking for a longer jacket that I can wear on "most" days. I live in Iowa, so we don't get too hot, but would like something that would be tolerable in the 80s. I was looking at the FG Kilimanjaro, but noticed that New Enough has the next step up on clearance. Has anyone had the...

    maverick1970's Project StreetFighter

    UMMMMMMM From what I know about cast (some but not an expert) filling the holes will NOT increase the integrity. Likely there wouldn't be any problems (how much force is on a triple tree unless you are in a crash), but that is one area that I personally would not touch. I bet you...

    maverick1970's Project StreetFighter

    Is the triple tree cast aluminum?? If it is cast, I would bet that you lost significant strength when cutting it out. I work with a bunch of mechanical engineers and I will ask them more on Monday, but that is my hunch. I love the look, but just want to make sure you guys are staying...

    Firstgear TPG Rainier Jacket Review

    Has anyone actually bought one of these? New Enough has this for $225. This seems like a great price for a really good jacket. I am trying to figure out why they are offering such a low closeout price if they are really as good as the manufacturer says...

    F/S: Joe Rocket leather jacket

    How long is this?? I am 6'5" and need a long jacket to make sure I don't give my plumber butt to the lady in the car behind me :) Does this have any ventilation? How hot is it in summer? How close does the blue match the '06 blue??

    and the answer is.... yes.

    All Ya'll should move to Iowa. We have the second lowest insurance rates in the country. I almost bought a Z1000 and that was only going to be $250/year. I DON'T have medical on my motorcycle insurance, since I carry it through work and it covers me in an accident... But $210/year...
