45lbs in the rear is really high. Depending on how much baggage you're carrying, I'd drop it down to ~33front/36 rear. That's about what I run and I'm 255lbs. Also, again depending on your weight stiffen up the rear shock. I run mine at 6. Do both of those and you'll feel a HUGE difference...

I've just started experiencing a similair issue. After an oil change, my 2nd gear pops into neutral during moderate-hard acceleration. I have to jam it back into 2nd or sometimes 3rd. I overfilled the oil a bit, which may or not be an attributing factor.. going to drain a bit out tommorrow. But...

+1. Even in neutral the wheel will spin a little bit on the center stand.

The tree is in fact closer together than the fz6, that is why the R6 fork mod requires shims. The only way it'd work is if you pressed the lower triple off the stem and pressed an R6S lower on the stem as well. I'm not sure that'd even be possible. I know a few people have talked about...

That looks very nice man. I bet it turns into turns very aggressive with the forks that high though jeez. :eek: But I guess if you don't know any different then it's all good. :thumbup:

Those are interesting.. not sure I like the idea or not. Great for a crash.. but what if you go to grab the brake or cluth in a hurry and accidently flip them up. Could be trouble in an emergency situation. :eyebrow:

It's been a pleasure being part of this community for another year. Thanks everyone for the good wishes and the fun times :thumbup:

That's a really good point. If they have receipts that's great. If not, check the sprocket/chain for rust and signs of neglict. This is a good indicator of the overall maintence conciousness of the owner. At 4k miles it should have the 600m service at minimum. The chain should have no evidence...

Wow.. shiny! They look better than new. After you run her for awhile take a follow up pic so we can see if/how badly they dull. :thumbup:

Seems like a really good deal if you're in Texas.. '02 FZ1 with 9.7km for $3600 2002 Yamaha FZ1 Thought I'd just throw it out there for anyone who might be looking.

That'd be just fine for any regular user. If you plan on doing any gaming or something like that you'd need to pick up a graphics card and powersupply, but other than that the price is good for that machine. The one above is good as well if you have the know-how to bulid it yourself. Of course...

Oh and Fiesta! April 15-25.. Texas's version of Mardi Gras. Schools and most businesses around here give you a 4 day weekend for it. They like to party here.. now if only the music didn't sound like a all day adventure in Disney Land...

Dang man, heal up. Glad you made it out with relatively minor injuries. Coulda been ugly.. uglier than that leg even. :thumbup:

That guy is a freaking idiot. He's doesn't seem to be a very good rider to begin with. He breaks the rear loose more than once, and locks the front tire as well. His input is jerky and spastic, dude is just all over the place. What a jackass. It's amazing he survived that video imo. I lost count...

Dang :squid: I'd never wheelie ever :rolleyes:

I made it in, had a great ride Sat guys. Thanks again for getting things rolling Pete and Fred. Hopefully next year we'll have a few more. I look forward to the videos and pics! :thumbup:

Had a serious run in with lady luck today. I was just about to head out to Leakey Tx, from San Antonio.. about a 180mile trip out in the middle of nowhere when I was stopping at a light and my brake lever went soft. I pulled into the gas station at the corner and took a look, fluid was gushing...

That's a very good video. It scares the crap out of me watching people text as I pass them on my bike, or truck.. or just crossing the street at a stop light. Hopefully they get this video out to the public before someone gets a ticket or crashes. It seems counter intuitive, or at least not...

Hey man, busa's are ok bikes, but just because someone doesn't like your cup of tea doesn't mean they're wrong. I don't personally like them, they're too long, have too much plastic, and just too much power. On another note, the FZ6 is an internationally sold bike it's not "yuppy Americans"...

Dang man out at Harris Hill Road I assume? That'd be really cool. Of course if you get up there, you might have to ban me and Fred as a type intervention for our own good :D G'luck man!
