I have to say that I am interested in hearing more about this mod but then again I keep my high beams on day and night just so people will see me. It seems like the whole world is oblivious to motorcyclists. When people flash me I just think, " Oh good! You can see me!"

I do have a brand new tire with about 100+ miles on it but this was not a slide but more like a bounce or jump like I had downshifted at too high of speed and let the clutch out.....or ran over a large enough rock but that seems unlikely.

I have no idea? I know I had taken out a loan and have paid some of it back but I went today to see how my stocks are doing and there is nothing there????

Ok..Ok...I have read a bunch of posts about adjusting the shock. I just went out and adjusted the setting from 3 to 5 and took it out for a spin. Wow, what a difference! I am not bouncing up and down and flying all over the place when I hit a pothole. When I took on some twists and turns and...

When I got back on the Bike last night right after my last post the "c" temp had dropped back down to about 154. However the "a" had jumped to about 98f SO I WAS REALLY FREAKIN OUT! I am mechanically challenged so I didn't see the green wire either. I wanted to see what my idle RPM's were for...

Alrighty! I posted the post two post up about 10 minutes ago. I just went to get on the bike. The "c" temp has dropped to 153f. The "a" temp has climbed to 93f! It is 49f freaking degrees outside? What gives?

Oh! I will check the green wire...God Help ME!....but we did have a huge storm the other night with some tornados and extremely high winds. I have not thought about it but I have not ridden it since. The rain was crazy bad ( going sideways) and there sat my poor bike out in it uncovered. Could...

Ok. I usually always check the " A " temp when I first get on my bike and it is almost always spot on +/- a few degrees because I check it when the bike is cold and has not been ridden. Example: It is 56 outside. I turn the key (without cranking it) and check the "A" temp. It will usually say...

Actually the computer is saying that it is 20-30 degrees warmer than it really is. How serious is this issue? I am new to bikes (3months) so it smells funny from time to time. The weather here has been crazy 29f at night 65f during the day plus the humidity is all over the place. It also sucks...

Though I cannot remember from where- I actually borrowed credits, won in roulette, made a little in the stock market.......and I need to figure out where to pay back what I owe??

I was wondering why I was stalling so much just when I thought I was getting a lot better at riding a bike a little past the 800 mile mark. I am not sure if I would trust myself just yet to changing mine but I have also noticed I have problems with throttle control depending on what gloves I am...

I am right in there with reiobard.

I am 36 years old. This is my first bike. I am using Geico. I have nothing on my record but I am financing my bike so they required full coverage. My insurance is just a little bit cheaper than my bike payment. I pay $187 a month for a grand total of $2,244 for my first year. They suggest I take...

I recently posted an article about gas mileage as I am only getting about 120 to 150 miles out of each tank. I noticed last night that it was 29 degrees and for some reason I always check the temperature to see how accurate it is. Last night when it was 29 degrees outside the bike said it was...

Ok, I have a 2007 FZ6 blue model in the US. In my manual it states that I have a Fuel Tank Capacity of 19.4L=5.13 US gal and a Fuel reserve amount of 3.6L=.95 US gal. I have been getting about 35 mpg or 132 kpL riding around town. Now that my girlfriend has moved I am doing more highway...

breakin' it in I broke my bike in with ZERO road experience and even now almost 3 months later I am 5 miles from hitting the 1000 mile mark. I began riding a little bit every day and increased my daily riding slowly. I tried to mix it up but I spent a good bit of time in the city and...

Thanks everyone for all the info Perryn- I cannot believe I have not thought of it. We call it corn starch but I get it. I seriously cannot believe I have not thought of it. I am planning to take the Cycle Safety course and I do plan on getting proper pants for riding. I did all the research...

Hi there! Well isn't this an interesting thread. Laugh if you want to but there has got to be someone out there who has experienced this. *** RASH I just bought my first motorcycle- a Blue FZ6 07' and I love it. I have never ridden a motorcycle until about two or three weeks ago when it...
