hey Wolfman, let (us) know how that exhaust mod turns out! post a video or audio clip if you can.. i've been thinking about doing the same mod, but i'd like to know how much of a difference it would make before tearing up my stock exhaust. thanks.

Nah, the camera died peacefully in it's sleep of old age... time for a new one. So I just went outside to look about roughing up my tires a bit (I think I'm going to use a light-duty wire brush) only to notice some sort of oily residue toward the edges of the rear tire!! Aghhh! (I'm thinking...

Problem solved! It was as most had suspected-- just a weak battery. Phew! I jump-started the bike again tonight, but this time instead of simply letting it idle, I revved it up a bit (2k-4k rpm) for about 15-20 min, and when I shut it off I was able to start it right back up. Just to make sure...

You sir, are what we call in America a DOUCHE BAG. :Flip:

Forgot to mention that before jump-starting it I did try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery...

Update Okay, I just went out there with a multitester and checked the voltage on the battery while sitting (high 11's to low 12 V) and then while holding the starter button (6.something Volts). That doesn't seem normal to me somehow. I hooked it up to my car battery and it started right up with...

Replies to several, and some new details... No, I haven't got it running yet, I haven't had a chance to get back out there yet. It was in the 30's last night and this morning, and right now I am in class... There is definitely fuel in the tank, and it isn't the sidestand switch (been trying...

You know what? I had seen that video and I thought about it before I got on the bike... and then that was more or less what happened. :/ I'm just going to go ahead and blame the tires.

Yeah, I'm going to start again with looking there (though I looked and didn't see anything obvious) I'll bust out the multimeter and see where I'm at with voltage... I was out there for a good hour earlier today trying to figure it out, but then it got too cold and I was forced to move it to the...

Yeah, I guess they didn't. Pretty sure it was assembled last night and then they delivered it first thing this morning. I don't think they rode it at all before loading it up in the trailer. It was however starting right up before I dropped it. :confused: As for carburated bikes to EFI -- I...

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here... I just got my FZ6 TODAY (Blue '07, 0 miles), *and in accordance with the way my life works* I dropped it while cornering in my apartment complex. This is my second bike after a Ninja 250 (which I've had for about 6-7 months now, and...

Just bought mine... Just ordered mine today from Sky Powersports in Lake Wales, FL... It was the best price I'd seen on a blue '07, so I decided it was time. I found them on cycletrader.com and they had an advertised price of $5199! I thought I was getting a good deal before when I almost...

that looks friggin sweet!!:thumbup:

I almost always wave when it's safe to do so, and I have a few times when it wasn't... but I have also noticed that those who ride Harley's/cruisers seem less inclined to wave. Perhaps it has to do with some sort of superiority or inferiority complex?? I always wonder if they wave at other...

I wouldn't trust a mirror over a head check, just know what's going on in front of you before you turn your head. Here is my advice to you: BUY A LIGHTER HELMET! It's going to cost more, but it will be worth it. I just upgraded from some cheap KBC helmet to a HJC AC-12 Carbon (carbon fiber)...
