    Ottimoto rearsets connecting rod is wearing out

    Yes the gear shift rod. The adjustment screw nearest the rear of the bike can hit the frame if not adjusted "properly". I debated replacing the rod with the stock one but I think you would have to drill out one of the connection points to do so. I may still do it if I have problems later...

    Ottimoto rearsets connecting rod is wearing out

    Is the wear near the portion of the frame the rod passes behind? Mine is very close to the frame and in fact after install I had to adjust the rod position/length so the nut nearest the back of the bike didn't hit the frame. This may be causing yoshiki's shifting problems because when mine was...

    Rumpole's FZ6 Safety Week

    My best saftey tip is just take a minute before you get on the bike to just get your head on right. Lucky for us the safest way to ride also makes for the best rides... with a clear head.

    Alaska 2011 FZ6-Forum Event

    It is a possibility for me but it is a little too far out for me to give any more commitment than that.

    Put together another local roads video

    I really enjoyed watching it. I usually skip through on a lot of videos because I get bored but this was a perfect length and had perfect music. Not to mention you threw in a lot of different angles just when the viewer would start to consider jumping ahead. The only angle that is a little...

    Front tire issue?

    I doubt it is the problem but in an effort to cover everything... is the tire mounted correctly i.e. the tread travelling in the right direction? The PR2s always look like they are on backwards to me

    caught in the rain..

    Just ride as you would if the tires were cold and you will be more than fine, the worst thing you can do is tense up. If there is any chance of rain I always pack my rain liners. I ride in the rain all the time to work and my liners keep my clothes dry.

    Suspension swap on the Buell

    Wow those first two pictures really show the difference in travel. The new ones should be a big difference. Is you bike still hanging from the ceiling?!? Hmmm gives me some new thoughts of how to decorate the basement

    Unusual Tire Wear?

    This is my own hypothesis and I don't have much to back it up but I don't think it has as much to do with tire pressure as it does with heatcycles on the tires. Over time the heatcycles cause the rubber to harden. I typically put 800 miles on my tires a month if no weekend riding which equates...

    Don't by the new bike yet get a used one ride it until trip sell used one. Fly south, buy a reliable used bike once you get there, with the time saved flying go into S. America, sell bike, fly home. Come home buy new bike.
