    SIDI Vertigo Boots?

    Here's the Sidi website: Motonation: The USA home of Sidi and Set Up motorcycle boots and Spidi motorcycle apparel and gear. You'll have to check out the entire Vertigo line of boots to determine which ones fit your needs/budget. I have a pair of Vertigo Airs (perforated). I love 'em...

    Strange weather

    HavBlue, I agree with your comments about humans not being able to change the weather. Global warming, may or may not be true, but regardless I laugh to think that we are powerful enough to be causing it. I live in Florida and have heard nothing but "more big storms coming this year" ever...

    Tax Refund Checks

    There is a maximum income allowed in order to get this refund (I believe it's $150,000 or over). There is no minimum income to recieve this refund. -- Trickle-down economics was used effectively to bring us out of a major recession during the 1980's. Will it work now? I dunno, I'm not an...

    My 05 tops out at 220 kph?

    Wow, lots of different views since I looked yesterday. I don't think the original post was about "being cool". I think it was a genuine question and legitimate. The FZ6 is still a sportbike and many owners would naturally like to know how fast it will go (under the right conditions)...

    Do you wave to other riders??

    I always wave unless it's in the twisties. Seems like most of the riders who don't wave are on Harleys or cruisers.

    What exhaust do you have on your FZ6?

    Two Brothers. They're a little expensive but I wanted the sound after 2 years of stock exhaust. Very deep, throaty growl. Turns into a roar at the high rpms. Love 'em.

    FZ6 NO START condition

    The original post was months ago but he never replied with his fix to the problem. Just in case anyone out there has a similar problem, I'll share what happened to me... I had similar issues. Bike would start and run fine for a couple miles, then it would actually die while I was riding. I...

    My 05 tops out at 220 kph?

    Winds can definitely be a biggg factor. When the wind is kickin I lose about 10mph at top speed. I also have an 05 and it tops out at 156mph (251kmh). Top gear and rpms are about 1,000 short of redline. It has a TwoBros exhaust but top speed was the same with the stock exhaust.

    Lubing the chain

    You should clean your chain when it accumulates a lot of dirt or sand. You should lube your chain when the links are a shiny silver color. A well-lubed chain will have links that are a dull color. Shiny links are dry links and should be lubed. To clean I use WD-40 to clean it when it's...
