Have you folks seen this yet? It's not a bad tune. ======================================== United Airlines breaks a man's guitar, Payback is Painful Here's a splendid approach by a talented man! A musician named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently...

That Ninja 1000 sure looks pretty to me. My son rides a Z750S, which is a cousin of Z1000, and I like it pretty well. I also like the new plastic on the N1.

Welcome. You'll find lots of helpful folks on here. :welcome:

If you're anywhere near this guy, his bike is a better buy. It's also owned by a member of this forum. http://www.600riders.com/forum/sell-your-bike-car-truck/43263-2009-fz6-blue-4200-6-700-miles-take-look.html

I had a test ride on a Versys, and I couldn't wait to get back to the smooth power delivery of the 4-cylinder Yamaha.

I've been involved in computer control of gasoline blending systems, and I can promise you that there is no octane booster that will raise your octane by 7 points. Unless it is 100% pure tetraethyl lead. And I'm pretty sure it isn't. Read the bottle and tell us what the active ingredient is...

If you can get it for $3000, you could think of it has $2500 for the bike and $500 for the privilege of buying it right now. That's the way I looked at the first bike I bought, a Ninja 500. When it's time to sell the Ninja (which may be soon) I hope to get back the bike price but not the price...

I believe the valve adjustment interval is recommended at 26,000, and costs several hundred dollars. I hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in. I haven't yet done mine, or paid to have them done.

Back in September, I paid $2950 for a 2006 with 7400 miles. It needed new tires. I'm in the Houston area, where it had been for sale for a couple of months with no takers. Based on what I paid, I'd say the bike you're looking at might be a bit high, so it all depends how desperate you are.

"No test flights without cash in hand."

That's a pretty one! (or "purdy," as we say in Texas)

That would be great. Thanks!

The tailbag is a Nelson Rigg model CL85. I have mounted it in a manner similar to the pics GTP Addict posted, so it looks like it should be safe. Thanks!

Question for the community: I just got a new tailbag. In the most stable mounting position I've found, the straps go across the heat shield on the stock exhaust. Will it get too hot and damage the straps? I'd sure appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with this. Thanks! Dave

I'm far from an expert, but I've read posts on another bulletin board suggesting that the fuel line could be kinked, so that it will run fine under no load, but be short of fuel when trying to accelerate. That suggestion seems plausible to me. Perhaps the experts will also chime in.

I'm glad your injuries were minor. I'm not an expert, but I agree with your assessment that the frame sliders did their job.

I hope I'm never featured in one of these videos.

Welcome, Nick.

I've gone 35 miles or so on one occasion... thought I had plenty of room left, since the reserve is quoted at .95 gallon. I guess I was lucky!

I don't know about the FZ6, but my Saab, when it detects detonation, not only pulls timing, it also adds fuel.
