Great responses guys! Thank you for all the help. I am going to finish up some different things tomorrow and start my riding! One last question, what are the people feelings about washing the entire bike, is there any reason that i should stop washing it at the manual spray gun?

haha brilliant, i remember that clip! one of the best responses i have ever gotten on a forum! I figured it was water, maybe ill make sure everything is tightened up and just ride!!!!

It looks like under the back of the seat at the joint between the muffler/rear section of exhaust system, water drips everytime i start the bike. The weather is a little cold right now, is that a factor? perhaps just a tighten? i dont like water inside the bike!!

I agree, with my last bike i took it down to the manual car wash and just gave it a rinse with water and a cleaner made for bikes, is that damaging?

Does WD-40 hurt the chain? Is this true about other things? Or just the chain? Is there a mysteriously dangerous side to Wd40 i was unaware of! :D

Does the silicone act as the cleaner? or the lube? I suppose you can clean the chain decently on the bike but taking it off allow the cleaning of the sprockets etc?

This morning! :thumbup: So it seems the Haynes manual is a good choice? Any others that people like? The tire pressure seems to be especially important in early N.E. riding. I will make sure to keep an eye on that In terms of chain cleaning (first bike with a chain, shaft drives...

Hey guys, So as the first season with the FZ rapidly approaches, I am wondering if there are any particular things to pay special attention to on the FZ6. I am a huge proponent of doing daily maintenance and taking care of my toys. What are peoples general maintenance routines? I know most...

your son must be really TINY! :thumbup:

Yeah first one on the bike and the year! It was about 50 degrees out, so a little nippy but i didnt do too much at high speeds. I went out for about 20minutes around the town. I did not want to push my luck with a super early season ride! As for the impression, I am surprised by how...

Got to go out on my first ride today! I really like the way the bike feels, didnt get to really get into it because i dont trust any roads with salt, but i have a feeling this summer is going to be fun! The dirt road to the pavement was a little soft, note the back tire, but nothing going...

Is there somewhere that this drilling idea is already posted? Ill do some searches. Did it just give the exhaust a deeper sound? Btw as a native son of South Boston, I deeply appreciate the signature! Go Sox indeed! :thumbup:

apparently i am not all that good at navigating the internet. doh. But i have found some more things with your alls guidance. The two brothers sound great, just a scary number to think about paying atm! but that is what piggy banks are for i suppose. I saw something about gutting it...

I am looking at ways to get a deeper sounds out of my bike. The most obvious is to get a pair of cans, but i dont have the money atm. Does anyone know anything about gutting the FZ exhaust? My roommate did it to his 07 VFR, but I have not found too much on the internet about an FZ6. Is...

Donnys! I was thinking about going over to that! I live about 5 minutes away from donnys. Is there any interest in a Vermont ride? Perhaps we can all go to bike night after? My roommate is gathering people from his VFR community!

Hey guys! THose rides sounded great! I would love to do stuff like that! I am always up for meeting as many people as possible! I am a social creature :rolleyes: Perhaps I can lead a good Vermont trip this year! I live in Burlington in a small abode, but my parents have a large house...

Those fairings look great! They are aftermarket, no? Makes me jealous!

Some good roads indeed. NH has some great ones as well. I have not done much in the Southern half of the state, but some of the Roads in the White Mountains are twistalicious and beautiful!

Hey guys! Any Vermonters on the thread besides me? If not anyone who loves to ride in the Green Mountain State! We have some awesome roads here, and all the glory of the Adirondacks and White Mountains in range to boot! If anyone makes it around here, my roommate (2007 Honda Interceptor...

i have done this before If you write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker it gets most of it off but leaves a little stain. Expo makes a remover just for that purpose as well. here is a link Expo Board Doctor
