I tried this today and didn't work.
After standing there for two cycles with moderate cross-traffic (3 mins to jump red signal in NC), I tried my side stand on the joint of the metal wire on the road, it still didn't pick it up.
I'm worried, the magnet will attract all the crap I don't need...
Hello guys,
I need suggestions on bringing back the colors of my bike back to (close to) new.
I would like to know what you guys use for plastics and paint on metal (like tank and wheels).
1. Mother Back to Black for plastics; probably similar form Turtle wax or Meguiars
2. Maxima SC...
Hello guys, there is a short ride coming up this Sunday, starting at 8.30am at KU (2106 N Chester St, Gastonia, NC 28052).
Will be doing US-18, then a couple of runs on US-181, followed by lunch and returning back using freeway or US-18.
Please reply if you're interested.
Get the Sena 20s, which is backwards compatible too, will go with any brand, any model intercom. I got one recently, lasted 7am-6pm on a single charge, almost continuous music, with no intercom, as I'm the only one with an intercom, so, didn't test the main feature successfully.
Cool, you'll...
Where did you place them?
There is a hole on each side of the fairing, next to the headlight, looks like small air vent, I would like to put them there, if it were me.
This is where I'm talking about, marked in red, next to front turn signals.
Actually installing them on the forks is a nice idea, but we have a small hole on each side of the front fairing, which seems to take these bullets easily.
I already have the pod lights, like FZ1 style. I may have to upgrade the bulbs in them (please tell me the model number, the ones I have are...
I tried uploading the images, but it error'd out.

I found lots of dirt under behind the front sprocket cover, luckily the sprocket itself is clean, somewhat.
So, cleaned it, lubed it and lubed the chain, again...
Ya, I found PR4 for 142$ after cashbacks and other coupons from 2wheel.com, so, I went with it.
ebay, PR3 for 140$, so, I went with same model again.
I check tire pressure atleast once a week/1000miles max, following the sticker on the swingarm.
You know what, I can buy one and leave at Linus's place, anyway, 4 FZ6s can use the same tool :)
Here is the URL for the first one:

And in the second video, I asked the question and explained about the issue and the guy said to check the rear...
I ride rain or shine, currently don't own another vehicle.
I got the rear tire changed, and the guy is amazed when I said 1.77-2.77" not 1". I showed him the print out manual I took for that page.
He put close to 2", measured with a tape to make sure.
He applied grease to the rod between the...
I agree, I don't either, I saw someone sold one of these way back and if someone else is interested, they can grab it. tIthought it was a good find and shared it with you guys. :)
1. Yes, removed excess lube, off video, using the rag.
2. Smart move with cardboard (plenty of them lying around), I prefer that, than a rag, as it can get into the chain, but as you said, turning wheel by hand, so, I can use rag too
3. I saw the lube went good on the o-rings, and forecast has a...
Everything happens for a reason, I swore when I got my job in Charlotte, NC. Then I got this TamedBeast (my FZ6), made me calm down a bit, then met you guys, and now I don't want to leave Charlotte. Last year I learned, people all around the country come to this part of the USA for those...
Thanks for the info.
I'm getting my rear will be changed tomorrow (probably), will get the bearings cleaned and lubed, along with the axle.
I used a dry cloth to remove excess water and ran the bike for a few mins on center stand, after a slow ride around the apartment parking lot.
For video...
For other people who are planning to go to TOD,
Take lodging at Kickstand Lodge. We went there twice last year and it is booked this time, so, we couldn't make it.
It is a fun place to stay, bonfire, BBQ dinner, make your own breakfast, lot of alcohol. You can make S'mores from the bonfire, my fav.
Hello guys,
We had a small trip ;) of 857 miles, over a 51 hour period (weekend trip), started on Friday afternoon, and returned back on Sunday evening.
Myself, Sunil (Linus) and Pranay [(kingxirol) on his Harley], stayed at 74 Deals Gap road.
1. The trip was amazing, tiring, fun, exhausting...
