I do appreciate all the good wishes and concern from everyone :thumbup: I guess when you say the bikes been down 6 times it does give a bad impression hah. The BT-16's had ~8.5k miles. I know it wasn't there less than 2 weeks ago when I lubed the chain. If it was there before the ride it...

Over 3 years... 1. Brother knocked the bike over 2 days after I bought it 2. Sand/Gravel on a uphill right hand turn.. was like 10mph. 3. Wet smooth concreate comming out of a parking lot. Bike started sliding like the brakes where locked up.. IE hydroplaning on the stock pos tires. 4. Ford...

I've been neglicting the chain because I have new sprockets/chain on order. :spank: 32k miles on that chain it's going to be a bit rough :thumbup:

Sat night (11/14/09) heading to work around 10pm was taking a 40degree corner going under a overpass at about 55mph. Just before the apex I felt the rear tire get really heavy and the rear is really uneven and wobbled. A fraction of a second later I'm doing the superman down the road watching my...

How many miles are on it? Check your plugs? Air Filter? TPS is a likely culprit on the '05 it was factory recalled for replacement. Check your vin on the frame. If the tps was done, it "should" have a small punch indentation on/near it signifying the repair was done. Here is a link if you...

Mr Cycles Dealt with them a few times no problems. :thumbup: Prices are pretty similiar across the board though. Mr. Cycles was the cheapest overall by a few bucks per piece.

It must be the anti-friction, radar absorbing, anti-gravity material they put in the red and blue pigment on the '06 models that makes the plastics 3x the cost of the '05 silver :eek: '06 Upper Cowl: $261.74 '06 side cowls: $57.48 each '06 rear sides: $62.09 each '05 Upper Cowl: $84.91...

:smoking: And how did that make you feel? Man you guys really ripped the op pretty bad. Opinions are like a-holes.. everyone has one and they all stink and when somone passes gas just ignore it.

Corrected: Protect and Swerve!

Sorry nevermind the post said he's no longer selling the rear hugger b/c it cost $30 to ship. You can buy one new for ~$20

I don't think it'd work b/c the engagement points would be different on the shift drum, (not even close to the same as the FZ's). You'd have to do all or nothing I think.

Ok, spent the past hour or so looking extensively at the microfiches and part numbers of the '06-08 R6, R6S, and the FZ-6. Here's what I came up with. Some of it is common knowledge. The '06+ R6 is a totally different engine from the FZ6 and R6. The tranny is different, the crankcase is...

You "professionally laid it down" is the proper term :thumbup: Good to hear you're mostly ok. It's just reaction to try to keep it from falling. At least you got your legs clear.

Dang man glad you're ok, few people walk away from a highside unscathed. Did you lock up the rear tire and just bailed on the bike or did you let the rear brake go and get thrown off? Or did you lock the front and head shake get ya? Gotta understand how it happened to learn from your mistake...

The smaller end of the collar should be recessed into the axle of the wheel and the larger end should be flush with the swingarm. A pic might help us help you. How clean are your pipes? Might be some crap burning off or something. The radiator has no oil anywhere near it..at least it...

:welcome: Looking forward to seeing your forum addiction develop ;)

:rof: Man that video was alot of work. Very cool. Funny how simple it looks putting the bike together.. until you have to do it yourself :jawdrop:

Getting a knee down on the fz6 is diffinatly possible. I refer you to this post by DefyInertia.. he's one bad dude. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-videos/793-fz6-track.html I think he looks like this behind that face shield. :BLAA:

Hah dang I removed my peg feelers a week after I got the bike just due to the fireworks show! Nice tire boogers :thumbup:

Sitting around 33.5k miles. Chain is at it's max adjust length. The sprockets still look to be in good shape really, especially considering I "may" have done a few wheelies here and there. Replacing the whole shibang here directly though. Noticable wear or not.. that's more miles than the...
