    Picked up my new bike

    I forgot to mention it goes away when i have the clutch engaged so I cant really see it being the chain, its super clean and well greased at the moment anyways. Any thoughts on what it could be where it goes away when the clutch is in? I already have the amount of clutch free play on the top...

    What bike did you learn on?

    I loved it, very simple bike, was plenty fast enough but not crazy as to get a new rider into trouble. Only gripe was it not being fuel injected, made for rough starts on chilly days. I actually just sold mine, sad to see it go but plenty excited for my fz6, picking it up Sunday

    *****FZ6 Riders: How Tall Are You?*****

    What this guy said, inseam is everything, I'm not the tallest being 5'9" or so. I'm only an inch and a bit taller than my dad but I've got about 2 inches on him from an inseam standpoint, you can really see how big of a deal it makes when we both sit on the same bikes and he struggles to tiptoe...
