    DIY lowering passanger footpegs on 06 model

    I'm not sure about 04-05 models, but on 06 they're really high for any passenger. Lowering sets are not that many in existence and whatever is there are expensive. So, I decided to get creative and try my DIY versions. Here is one really cheep with about 30 mins of work. I've done it as a trial...

    What RPMs at certain speeds?

    My normal range is 6k when cruising, 7-8k when need more power. Getting about ~46 mpg. 180-190 miles before the reserve. To me 6 gear is like an overdrive, just when I want to cruise over 80-85 mph on highway. When on twisties, you need to keep one gear down to have enough roll-off/roll-on power...

    European gas prices are 8 to 10$ for a gallon. However... Unlike in the States, they have superb public transportation. For most, one car is good enough for them, and public transportation runs every few minutes to any place you need. In the States, with exception of big cities, public...

    True. Bigger-better approach is well alive here. But a market is depends on other conditions as well. I ravel in Europe and I don't see many cruisers or GW's at all. They don't buy them for many reasons, like, too big to filtering between cars; narrow and hilly streets with sharp turns; not...

    FZ6 popularity

    I cannot understand why in 2009 Yamaha dropped the FZ6 and came in with FZ6R instead. Although the R is very nice bike, it’s completely different. It appeals to a younger and also beginner folks, and in no way can substitute the FZ6. I see no reason why they couldn’t keep both. In fact, although...

    1st Sport-Touring Moto

    This bike needs getting used to. It took me several rides to get to feel it. Wider tank, different steering bar, taller... Switch to fz1 bar and lower the front by few inches. Give it another try and in time you'll see if it's you. Several years ago I bought a 2007 model, but just couldn't...

    Lubing rear axle and bearing?

    When I took the rear wheel off to replace the tire, I took the spacers off and on the left side (sprocket side) I noticed an open bearing. Nothing was greased and it made me wonder if I need to grease up these parts when putting all back together. Maybe not so much for the spacers and axle, but...

    Is this an appropriate bike?

    Consider also Ninja 650 and FZ6R. Both are friendly and forgiving bikes with enough low end torque, enough speed and fun factor. No learning curve, just get on and ride. They're lower to the ground and narrower, so you can flat-foot on them. Much lighter, faster and nimbler then all cruisers...

    Advice wanted on The Dragon

    We took the trip to Dragon and BRP last June. The weather on BRP were changing from sun to rain by the minutes... If you want to do the BRP - just do the last 120-150 miles of it. It runs for 470 miles north to south, but don't waste the time doing it all, rather save it for the nicer roads down...

    Some days are diamonds.

    As was mentioned above, it happens in every field. Like in music, one day I play with not even thinking of it, and another day I can't concentrate, like the mind is not there, and I make mistakes. Same in sports and all other activities. You trying to solve a problem, but the more you think of...
