With how you treat bikes I'm wondering how your living quarters look? My first guess is like something you'd see on an episode of Hoarders only with broken bike parts stacked up everywhere. :rolleyes:

I agree there. Once you put straight pipes on the bike you can't hear the clunkiness over the exhaust! :thumbup: I never thought I'd buy a cruiser, almost bought an FJR1300 as my touring bike before I decided to go for the Victory. I do not regret my decision one bit. I have bad knees, bad...

My second bike is a Victory Kingpin with a 100 CI (1636cc) motor. The magnum is an improved version of the same motor. It sounds like you are just not used to the way a big V-twin motor runs. That motor unlike harley is designed to rev and pulls much better up top. It is supposed to...

You can lube the clutch cable without removing it from the lever. If you look at the adjusting nut for the clutch you will see it has a slit in it in one spot. turn it so that slit faces up then use a syringe to add oil to the sheath. Put the bar up to gravity helps the oil run down the cable...

I've owned my FZ6 longer than most (working on the 9th year!) and here's a couple things I've found that will help the bike feel better to you. 1. Lubricate your clutch cable! There's many ways to do this but I have found nothing better than a heavy duty ink cartridge syringe filled with...

Sounds mostly like inexperience on street motorcycles. Any motorcycle will react quickly to your inputs, more quickly than a car would. Smoothness is something you learn over time and even the most finicky bikes can be smooth as silk once you learn to adjust your inputs to the bike...

Sounds like you either have a failing hazards switch or the flasher relay itself is bad on the hazards mode side. You would probably need to find the wiring schematic on the flasher relay and check voltages to see if the flasher output is faulty, indicating the relay is bad.

Good save! Reaction time was good though I agree this could have been avoided. As I watched the video I put myself on your bike and asked myself "Ok, what would I do if I was thrown into this riding situation?" Right away as you moved to the far right lane and were easily doing 20 mph...

Hyperlites Flashing led motorcycle brake lights, runing lights, and turn signals, Standard Dual Function Agreed. Hyperlites! They are my next purchase for my cruiser.

My brake caliper seals are original with 25,000 miles on them (2006 model) and I just cleaned them for the year and I can spin my front wheel with brakes installed 4-5 revolutions and only normal contact drag with the pads. It's not really that difficult to rebuild the calipers at any time so...

I understand what you are saying. HID projectors focus light on the road and have less glare so they aren't as visible in daylight unless you run them in high beam mode then you look like the surface of the sun!. Thus a combination of HID projectors to allow you to see the road well at night...

I just installed PR2's. same provile as the Pilot Power 2CT's they replaced and those were the best tires I've run and I've run BT016's. PR2's have the same profile as any sport tire I've run so far. I can't use more than 70% of my bike's performance so why run a tire made for the track...

Want to be seen by day? Run high beams and/or aux. lights. Want to see at night? HID projectors retrofits into the housings is the only option...you can have better headlights than Lexus and BMW's in an FZ6...I do! :thumbup:

Oh they will pay, some. Most health insurance has a high annual deductible so you may be stuck with $1,000 0r more right there if you end up riding in an ambulance for an ER and hospital stint. Most insurance also doesn't cover 100% after deductible is met. :spank:

Just did a quote with Rider Insurance. EXACT same limits and coverages I have with Progressive. Rider $890/year Progressive $205/year GUYS IF YOU DON'T ASK FOR MEDICAL BENEFITS COVERAGE ANY STANDARD MOTORCYCLE POLICY WILL NOT COVER ANY OF YOUR MEDICAL BILLS SHOULD YOU CRASH AT YOUR...

Can you educate us all on where PIP (personal injury protection) would be included on your motorcycle insurance coverages? Is it part of your Uninsured motorist insurance? Collision? Progressive doesn't detail where this is and it has a "medical expenses" as an optional additional coverage...

Meaning it's too little back pressure? I'm going to try that too!

We are family bro! I'm from Virginia. Who cares which state you are in? Be glad you are far enough south where you can ride in January and February! I pretty much put my bike up for those 2 months. Good time to do some maintenance and mods though!

The rear shock is a gas damper inside a coil spring. The front end is oil filled dampers with fork springs. VEGASRIDER: At what mileage did you have trouble with the cam tensioner? What were the symptoms?

Please explain what "basic level of coverage" means? It's recommended that you have no less than $100K coverage for liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance since motorcycle riders are more likely to sustain physical injury if struck by another vehicle. Is that full...
