    Dual Compound - Worthless for my riding style???

    Just thought if chime in and say so far I'm happy with my PR2. This is with about 5300 miles on it. Obviously a lot of straight commuting.

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! Very cool to see this working for a lot of people! Rode the bike in to work today. First time since doing this and it felt pretty smooth; also noticed a reduced noise/drone from my LV pipes, same as DavesFZ. Once again, thanks FinalImpact...

    What is the primary use of your FZ6?

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! 1. Yes 2. Close, you just have it backwards. The self threading cable connector is attached to the resin body and screws into the HTL 3. You won't be able to actually grab the STCC, you'll need to grab the HTL with one hand, and spin the...

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! That is the end of the spark plug wire. The long plastic cap that goes in to the valve cover holes and plug the spark plugs into screws on to that wire. It was confusing to me at first, too, but it all made sense when I tore in to things...

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! The arcing trace was on the side of the plug in the picture, can't really see it. I couldn't get both the gap wear and that trace in the same pic. Putting them back in, that is exactly what I did. Put some di-electric grease in the cap, pushed...

    My bike is just shy of 25,000 miles, and I've put 10,000 on myself. Oil changes, air filter, tires, just did plugs, will be doing chain and sprockets soon.

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! Dropping the radiator helped a ton for accessing cylinder 1! They haven't been changed in the two years I've owned it. just looked looked at the service records from the previous owner, they were done at 12.5k miles, 3.5 years ago. Bike...

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! Currently in the process of doing this, cylinder 1 is a pia, not much wire to work with at all! All have been loose and not tight so far. Here are my spark plugs. Gaps are over .03 on all, there is some corrosion on plug 1 (right), and there...

    Share your greatest mistake so others can learn

    I only have one: Do not ride your bike in wet grass! I made this mistake, and it was only a 10-15' patch of grass, too. I was going slow across it in first gear, hit a small bump in the grass that in turn bumped my right wrist enough (we know how touchy the bike is in first gear!) to make the...

    Another Texas Boy

    Welcome from up north! Fixing up bikes is something I'd love to get in to! And that rear tire looks really shiny, did someone Armor All that or did the bike just get a bath?!

    FZ6 will absolutely wheelie

    Definitely is cabpable! I managed to do a power wheelie this spring with a 17t front sprocket! I threw down the hammer in 1st gear, didn't even know the wheel was up untill I clutched in and shifted to 2nd, and it popped up again when I let out the clutch in 2nd gear! I was like, holy sh!t...
