Dude, are you insane? Don't get a sloppy cruiser.

OK, thanks... I'll have to go to the casino when I get a chance. And you deserve that compliment, so damn fine...

The shorter one goes on the oil fill side. I just got the Shogun with the aluminum inserts today; took a month and a half due to backorder. I'll feel better having them in.

I use Scott's anti fogging cleaner, and it works well. Costs about $5.00 and the bottle lasts quite a while, plus, it fits nicely inside of a cotton rag under my seat. :)

I'd rather have an FZ1. F Harley. PPPppppt!

Yup, all good suggestions. I like to keep my Camelback in under my jacket, and wear it in it's backpack loaded with ice. Keeps you cool, don't you know. Did anyone mention an MP3 player? Better than earplugs, IMHO, so you can crank some Motorhead or Sabbath. Shoot even some choice Techno can...

You can just throw a briggs and stratton on any old minibike frame and it's essentially the same thing. No bang for the buck, and they NEED to be rebuilt after 20,000 miles or so. I don't see the attraction myself. A kid at the station got one for $6,000, and it had 28,000miles on it. It runs...

Interestingly enough, dogs also think nothing of rolling in a carcass and eating feces for fun, too. LOL They have such good judgement. JK, Welcome to the fizzer club, I know you'll love that bike, even though it's not as cool as the blue ones. I bet in a month you'll still be finding...

Um, you may already HAVE one. I found out my phone is also an MP3 player, so I got a phone to USB cable, and a 1GB microSD card, and went to town loading it up... over 10 hours of music, and all I have to do is put it in a pocket in my riding jacket, toss in some earbuds under my helmet, and...

There are those socialists again, MAKING you comply for the common good. Pigs.

It doesn't matter if you shut it down. If you leave the fan running, you are just adding run time to it, and wearing it out when the coolant isn't circulating, cooling nothing but the radiator. The manual says to just shut it off and let it cool if it over heats, so why would normal...

You're not alone with the whole backorder routine... I'm still waiting for a set of oggy knobs for my FZ6, and keep being told "they're on backorder". Yesterday, I went in to check on them again, (after a month and a half of waiting,) and the kid said they were at the distributor's warehouse...

Branded, and you KNOW that you're a man... LOL I'd get an FZ1. It's absolutey the next bike on my list, but I like to get my money's worth out of stuff. IF the FZ6 got stolen, or totalled, it would be on to the next up, the rocketship FZ1. It's a couple thou more...

Well, whoever it was told you all wrong! Under your fingernail is where most of the nerves in your fingers are, and that's why they're covered with a nail. Fingernails are not just for digging out a stubborn green nose goblin! LOL Try squeezing a nailbed with a pen some time. It's my...

I didn't get to ride it yet, we got a bunch of calls for structure fies from the lightning that afternoon. It still sits in the bay though, and if it's there next shift, I'll ask to take it for a spin. Never ridden an L-twin before, but a friend had a KZ750 V-twin years ago that was weaker than...

+1 on making this a service bulletin... "Engine Cutting Out? Look to Your Kickstand!" Make it a sticky and include instructions on how to jump the wires until a new switch can be had, with a disclaimer to avoid getting sued, of course... Darn dirty laywers.

... and I was impressed with a couple things: (it's a 2000,) 1. It has a tank stand, like under the hood of a car! Pretty fancy. 2. Hydraulic clutch, I like 'em. 3. Ducati paved the way for the naked bikes, and we can thank them, even though they can be tempermental, like many "products"...

Oh, man I loathe that sound... You see idiots everywhere who throw $3,000 worth of "street racing" junk on those $2,000 cars, only to crank up the crappy stereo system and not even hear it. ppppppppppt! *click* pppPPPPPPPPPPt! ppppppppppt....

:welcome: Glad to hear of your new purchase. You're going to love this bike. Careful throwing the additional $1,000.00 figure around, someone from Yamaha might just do it! -best kept secret in the stock/naked class! SHHHHHHH!

Maybe the switch is just dirty. You know the volume knob on a stereo, and after a whle it gets that scratchy sound? Well, that's dirt on the contacts. Go ahead and flip those switches a couple dozen times, and see if it clears up. If not, look very closely at the kickstand switch, and...
