    The REAL way to clean your wheels.

    Dude...next time use a squirt bottle...put in some car washing soap...about 5:1 water to soap...inflate tire to driving pressure and use solution on tire while slowly rotating. The hole will cause bubbles to form. And for my next lesson I will illustrate how to tighten the chain...:spank:

    Drilling out the baffles ... Guide

    They are the part of the exhaust, inside the muffler, that creates back pressure to the engine while also reducing the noise that comes out of the bike. If you look directly down one of the tailpipes you will see metal...that is one of the baffle walls. Google muffler design and look at...

    Drilling out the baffles ... Guide

    My exhaust is drilled, and while it's not as good as what I want, it will last me until I can afford that bit of expense. Here are some videos for your viewing pleasure. Before drilling...everyone knows this sound: Picasa Web Albums - Mike - 2008 Yamaha FZ6 After drilling: Picasa...

    Slow Throttle response

    Have not synced the throttle bodies, will get that checked. Haven't had the tank up in a while, probably been month and a half, but while I'm at it I'll check the vacuum hoses. Is syncing the throttle bodies something I can do? I would rather keep the money in the pocket...but if it's...

    Slow Throttle response

    Hi all...not so happy about something that happened just the other day. I let the bike warm up to a little over 160F and while I was backing out of the garage I gave it a few blips on the throttle...and to my utter dismay it sounded like a choked flooded response before catching back up. I...

    '08 FZ6 lower cowl/belly pan and seat cowl.

    Got my lower cowl through Atlanta Motor World but of course I live here and didn't have to pay for shipping. They usually beat the prices of the OEM because they buy so many parts and bikes. They've got a great sales staff that will work on pricing for you...but you've got to ask for a deal...
