I sell quite a few items on a non-motorcycle related forum (too many hobbies...:D) and despite the vast majority of buyers being very upfront with good communications, fast payment, etc, there are always a couple that will do the "cheque's in the mail" routine. It's ALWAYS an inexpensive item...

I turned 64 today. According to my wife, there are still no tangible signs of me "growing up" as yet. :D

Be aware that the road surface is getting colder with the approach of winter, especially in the mornings. Your tires will not grip as well as in warmer weather. Accelerate, brake and corner a little more gently than usual on the way to work. Leave just that little bit more distance between...

You'll be just fine.:thumbup: It wasn't without some trepidation that I swung my leg over my (then) new FZ6 in 2007 to ride away from the Dealership. Apart from a few short rides on a dual-sport, I hadn't ridden a road bike on the road in 25 years. :eek: One of the FZ6's advantages for new...

Yes. :) You have to adjust your idle higher....the idle adjustment screw is on the left side of the bike. Look for a large plastic screw "head" facing you just under the tank on the left upper side behind the cylinders/heads It's a bit awkward to reach, but if you use a long phillips...

Are you sure about that...? Which button are you holding down? I've held each button for a few seconds (and longer) and nothing happens. Are you certain your FZ6 is a Canadian model?

US FZ6's can change from MPH>KPH>MPH. Canadian FZ6's can not. Canucks have to install a Speedohealer to get this feature.

The PCIII needs a power source when connected to your laptop prior to beginning the programming and downloading a new MAP....either switch on the ignition or connect the 9v battery to it. I would start the programming sequence all over again from scratch, following the instructions to the...

Bayside doesn't actually stock Scorpions....they order them from a supplier in the US, so chances are they will only be able to source the new "cone end" style. You never know, though....if you ask Kevin (the owner of Bayside) to find an older set, he may just come through for you. That's...

I rarely ride in the rain...been there, done that when I HAD to....a car is better. Anyhow, when I did, I used Pledge furniture polish on my visor. The "white can" pledge works best. Spray it on inside and out, and buff to a shine with a microfiber cloth. Bug spatter won't stick, the inside...

I started clutchless shifting on my FZ6 out of necessity, particularly on longer trips that involved a LOT of shifting, which our bikes seem to require. It does save the clutch are/hand from getting tired, cramped and sore, particularly when you get over 60. That's 60 years, not MPH.:D

Well, my 1st piece of advice is PARK THE BIKE. Don't ride it until you get it sorted. Regardless of what you say that your friend is a "qualified bike mechanic", I'd get it to a proper bike shop and let them check it over....It sounds to me like there's something really, really wrong with the...

Harley riders seem to think they know something a non-Harley rider doesn't.... Ironic that the joke's actually on them.:BLAA:

:D My world ends at Kamloops....All bets were off once you started gaining altitude heading towards the Rockies....:p As an aside, the Province of British Columbia is HUGE....it's larger in land mass than the states of Washington, Oregon and California combined. Glad to hear you made it...

What was Yamaha thinking? That screen shape really baulks the eye, regardless of its functionality. Personally, I'd have taken material off the top of the screen to even the outline a bit and left the bottom alone...but that's just me. If it does its intended job as a "windscreen" then use it...

Spoke to Ken on his cell about an hour ago...he's waiting for the ferry from Port Townsend to Oak Harbour in WA state, so he's still a couple of hours away from the US/Canada border. It looks like he won't be at his overnight stop in Richmond, BC till quite late tonight. He's leaving early...

The weather forecast for the next 2 weeks in the BC interior is for sunshine and temps from 25 degC (75 degF) in Vancouver to 35 degC (100 degF) in the BC Interior.:cool: The ride from Vancouver to Whistler will be on the S2S (Sea To Sky) highway, which was completely reshaped and repaved for...

Wow...you just never know what's coming up, do you. Where was he riding when he hit the deer? It seems like there's been quite a few deer strikes this year by bikers in BC. Glad to hear he's "ok" and should make a full recovery.

Thanks! My son's brother-in-law got PR2's on his GSXR1000 and absolutely loves them. They'll be my replacement in a few months. :thumbup:
