    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    Agreed, there have been alot of Indian resurrections. Most of them were doomed from the beginning, simply because retail prices were way too high..(2006-2011) or because the name was owned by AMC (1960's) or they were just re-badged Royal Enfields, haha. Finally a company owns it that can...

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    Since the Indian Name was acquired by Polaris, I give Indian the best shot as its ever had to make it. They're good bike, designed by the experienced engineers at Polaris (one being a friend of mine). With the financial backing of a large scale company like Polaris, I think they'll be...

    Looking at FZ6 - Seeking Comfort Advice

    I have a 2009 S2, Which comes with a little better seat, though not a whole lot different that the 2004. I ride about 10,000mi/year. and do a 1 week 4,000 trip each year on it. I find the stock seat to be just fine, though other people claim that its horrible! I guess it all just depends on the...

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    I really like the way it looks. Little more adventure-ish with that wider gap between the head fairing and front fender. and, IS THAT A PICTURE OF ONE WITH A FASTER RED PAINT JOB!!! I LOVE IT!!! Everyone always gripes about the suspension on these things too (as well as the fz6), But...

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    When it comes time to replace my fz6 (hopefully) a few years down the road. The FJ-09 will most certainly be a great candidate!! Yamaha FJ-09 leaked - Motorcycle news: New bikes - Visordown

    Aftermarket Brake Discs ?

    Not to Hijack.. But how are you guys wearing out rotors? I have 20,000 miles on my bike and the original rotors and pad look quite good yet. Not that i do track days or anything, but i still feel like I use them in the twisties enough. (though I will disclaim, there are 2 trips from WI to...

    Anyone here use their FZ6 for Moto Gymkhana?

    I always thought the FZ would make a pretty decent motogymkana bike... (even though I've never done it and have ZERO credibility on the matter.) Its quite manuverable, and easy to control in tight slow corners. Its not that heavy (compare that to the HD cruisers and other large police bikes...

    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

    Well I figured this thread is worth a revive. I headed out to Rock Falls for a fun run today. Weather was beautiful up here in WI. It was sunny and about 75 degrees, pretty low humidity. The bike: 2009 fz6, K&N air filter, Akrapovic slip-ons, no other tuning, -1t front sprocket, a set of half...

    Hello. Heck of a way to introduce myself...

    Ticking - Cam Chain Issue?

    On the regards of aftermarket shim kits.. Heres the last K&L shim product I installed on an engine. It costed me $800 for a new engine after a shim was digested. (Notice the shim over bucket design. once this right shim broke it made its way between the cam chain and gear on the crank.. broke...

    Ticking - Cam Chain Issue?

    Reporting back on my previous post. I (finally) finished up my shim job. It got set on the back burner as I'm in the middle of building a garage. But anyway Adjusting lash seemed to quiet down my tick. It seemed like it was worst at about 4000 rpm. After the shim job, its unnoticeable besides...

    How did you come up with your login (nickname)?

    I'm a Mtn biker. Love it. Raced some back in college in the Wisconsin Off Road Series (WORS). Back in 2007 I bought my first good race bike. It was a Gary Fisher Paragon, fastest red of course. My teammates started calling me The Paragon, which was kind of an oxymoron because a Paragon is a...

    Sena SMH10R Fresh out of the Box

    MMMM I hadnt thought of that.. Infact I dismiss the 'update needed' pop up all the time. Maybe I need to let this thing update once in a while, haha.

    Ticking - Cam Chain Issue?

    Back on track with the ticking.. My bike started making the same noise around thw 15,000 mile mark. It sits with 20,000 at the moment. I messed with the CCT releasing pressure on it as well as pushing a little more pressure. The tick didnt change while i was playing with it, so I'm ruling that...

    Sena SMH10R Fresh out of the Box

    Update: I installed the boom mic inside my full face. I position it just off of my bottom lip (per advise from a pilot who wears headsets often). It seems like my Galaxy S4 is able to pick up my voice quite a bit better. Also, If i bring up on S-voice app, then press the button to turn...

    Sena SMH10R Fresh out of the Box

    I run a full face HJC CL15, Using the wired mic at the momement. The SMH10r kit comes with both wired and boom mic. I was thinking about plugging in the boom mic and seeing if Galaxy pick up my voice better since I can position the mic nice and close to my mouth.
