Guys and Gals, once a month (I think the last Thursday of month), there's a Yamaha gathering at Portillo's Hot Dog in Buena Park (mall). It's a great event to meet and chat with fellow Yamahappers. In addition, Yamaha staff makes it fun by trivia contest and offer random prizes. Riders...

Did you purchase the bike from dealer? It should have been demonstrated and practiced before leaving the shop. Many of us consider this a requirement for filling up at gas station. Anyhow, as many others suggested, the center stand was designed to use by leverage. I've found the heavier the...

IMO, it's the most functional mod on my bike. If you like a set in blue (new), I have the best price. PM me if you're interested. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/13324-asv-levers-installed-pics.html

I have a set in special Yamaha edition blue... brand new. I need to sell them quick, near cost. PM me if you're interested. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/13324-asv-levers-installed-pics.html

OMG!!! I'm such a woos. I wear nitrate gloves and Brenda goes bare knuckles. Well done! Seriously though, you should invest in a pair of work gloves. It may dampen the blow on the bruises. Plus, I try to change oil when it's a little warm. BTW, is the bike on center stand during filling?

Very nice. Congrats! and ride safely.

Carl's Jr has spicy chicken sandwich or their big burger for 99c. That usually tie me over till dinner.

Sweet! Don't you just love ASV? Nice grips also... however, do they move your hands further away towards the end? The FZ looks great!

That's the route I take to Mammoth all the time from LA. All I know is from Perris to Bishop is extremely boring... almost all desert once you get over the hill. Yeah... on the bike that's probably my route as well. Riding by yourself?

Yes, you need to remove the stock sleeve and re-use it.

Sorry to threadjack.... but if anyone's interested in ASVs (blue), I have an extra set. See the following link for pics. PM me for details. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/13324-asv-levers-installed-pics.html

There's room for H4, high side. For that, I have the low beam only... yet to install. It is so darn bright I may not need high beam. Anyhow, I'm thinking wiring the high to run right side as low. Essentially I'll be riding with high switch on but it will be dual low. Switch to low, then the...

Pictures of my HID ballast installation. Slim fits underneath gauges, right in the middle slot of nose tied down by ziptie. There is a small igniter besides the ballast. I zip that also on the bottom. You can see two white Zip Ties securing the pieces. Then the rest of the wires can be tied...

I just installed HID (H7) into the low beam side last night. Woooaaahhh, it's bright. I'll shoot some photos later. Yes, slim ballast is the way to go. Even then, I was thinking of putting it under the seat and run long wires. But somehow I manage to put it into the nose.

All in all, not too much damage and you're alright. But are you? Sometimes incidents like this take a couple of days for muscles to tighten up.

Oh yeah... they're pretty tacky. The material is pretty similar to handle grip. Now, my first ride impression from this morning, with my textile pants, the tank feels softer against the legs/knees. However, it needs a little more coverage on the bottom... for skinny short legs of mine...

It's my first time so it took about 1/2 hour including cleaning the tank, heating them a little and mask tape into position.

I have boys 9 and 7 and it's very frustrating for me. I grew up playing tennis and love to compete. Although kids are taking lessons and enjoy tennis and swimming, they're still on the heavy side. Wife and I get into arguments and she thinks they're NOT obese. WHAT!!! And since I'm the jock...

Boeshield you mean? Yes, I got mine from local WoodCraft shop. I think you can get them from Sears.

Oh yeah... this is probably my 4th time clean/lube chain. If I'm doing anything wrong, please feel free to comment. Suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
