As an update to this (and I'll probably copy over something to the Vendor section), Michael over at SHAD USA has been nothing short of amazing in terms of looking into a problem (for a few of us) where the side racks aren't even and the cases actually rub against the signals. I took a bunch of...

So, I recently changed the oil and noticed some smell of gas when I was recycling the old. Put new oil in, slight gas smell (maybe burnt) from the crankcase now as well. Could simply be the new map I loaded which needs to be leaned out a little. However, while looking around at what may be the...

I'm about where you are on this. Currently PCV with Scorpions,but usually on the reserve around 140 and that was about where I was before the exhaust as well. When I fill up (center stand) I'm usually putting in only about 3.6 gallons. If you can hit the fuelly link in my signature, you...

My experience has been very similar to Nelly's, though from the other side of the pond. every time he posts, I feel like I could simply +1. http://www.600riders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33585 At times I think it's more on the right, others on the left. Have used the ole paper towel roll...

I changed to the Iridiums last year, but haven't noticed any change in MPG. I average around 40 and am usually right there, not a lot of variance. that's about what I was getting bone stock before doing mods as well. That being said, I'm constantly messing with the PCV and stupid Autotune now...

Is Tony Archer a five year old? :) That looks like someone's kid designed it. From the site, it looks like he usually reshapes the foam as well. However, you may be able to get another cover to fit. I'd shoot the company an email and see. Scorp Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

Measured when it is warmed up from riding. After mine is properly prepped, it looks like its right around 1100 on the tach if I'm sitting on bike (angle matters slightly). There is a slight bounce every once in a while, but my idle is pretty solid. If I plugged the bike/PCV into my laptop, the...

As an aside, one thing I've noticed is that my tach doesn't give a true reading of my idle. I've used the Power Commander software as well as RPM from sound (http://www.tunelab-world.com/rpmsound.html) and both show about 1300 when my tach is reading around 1100. If I set it to what looks like...

? I don't think anyone was ragging on you, just curious to see. The oval would definitely be my preference. Apparently the mounting couldn't be any easier! Scorp Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

So sorry to hear this, Karen. I can't imagine having to go through it twice in six months. You have my deepest sympathies. As someone who has had 2 goldens or labs in the house since I was born, I know just how much these animals are a part of the family. Keep an eye out for that local...

Just thought I would update this thread with a sound file just for comparison. I've been using my BT Interphone and listening to my itunes this season, so hadn't really heard this noise as much. However, went for a ride tonight and decided to pull over and record. Revved it up to 6k in neutral...

So jealous of all of you sporting STIs. One of my favorite cars to drive; there is so much you can do with it yet is can still be an every day ride. One of these days I'll join you... Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

Another +1 here. Nice color matching ! Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

I had the Fz1 bar with stock bar ends for about a year and just ordered the rhinos. I only have the clutch side installed right now as the throttle side seized my Rizoma grip. Steffen over at rhino is actually fabricating some spacers for me as we speak. That guy is great. I dd go for an...

I was in a similar situation when I bought my Fz6 in 2009 with a Shoei RF-1000. I originally bought the large as it felt snug but not unbearable. Within two weeks, I had sold it on eBay and purchased the same model in Medium. While it was snug at first, I wouldn't trade it for any other size...

Well played, sir. Well played. ;) Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

+1 on this. You'll find many of us use this kit as its clean, simple, and easy. Has held up nicely over the years as well. Scorpio Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

Most Cobras run 1/4 mile in that 12-13 range, some at 14 (the mid '90s ones that you referred to). So while not "spanking" in terms of numbers, if you have some wannabe in a cobra who doesn't know how to run, there'd be a long list of cars that could spank it. :) Way back in the day...

Voice is great, music definitely "tinny". I was thinking of picking up some skull candy ink'd mic'd and trying that with it instead of the boom and speakers. Honestly though, still worth it for me. I can hear the music still at highway speed with my scorpion cans. Someday I may upgrade, but...

Problem is I've gotten a variation on that same line from all 3 "trusted" shops in my area at different points. In serious, it has to be in a "How to speak to your Yamaha Customers" manual somewhere. :) OP, keep us posted! Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
