There a quite a few fellow fz6 riders in the area. I know i am a bit south, along with others. There are others north. You are in a perfect location for both groups can show you fantastic roads in the south puget sound and the north cascades respectively. Welcome to the Forum.

I would personally first check the spark plugs. See if one is different than the others. This can indicate a problem with a cylinder/fuel injector. While you have them out, make sure to replace them. If all the spark plugs look good and once replaced, try out the bike. It may have been a...

I had to go with "did not notice a difference." While riding on the highway, you don't really hear the exhaust, just the wind. I wear ear plugs every time i ride (atgatt), but it is not due to my exhaust. The problem with the poll is that you put down earplugs due to exhaust noise...

Happy Fool's day. So Eddie, you wanted "a 'picture of you' and your bike" eh? Well here is my entry. Enjoy the day for who ever can ride, I know I can't :( darn rain.....

You know, every time I watch a video like this it surprises me what a bike can go through. I cringe at the idea of my bike going onto its side, even though I know the bike would be just fine if it did.

let us know when you miss all the great roads in SW Washington and NW Oregon. :D

AHHHH That is what it is. You are basing your 4-stroke to your 2-stroke. Your compression ratio is A LOT different now. Most 250 2-strokes are around a 6 to 1 compression ration, where now you more than double that compression at 12.1 to 1. This means that you are gonna have more...

Yea, its still a little shaky, but still doesn't show enough that would concern me. Of course it is a video and I am not sitting on the bike, but I really do think you have no major issues. When you rode dirt, what YZ did you have. I have a YZ400F that does the same thing, but it is not...

Reading through this, when you were stating shutter, I was thinking of a jerking bike ready to stall shutter. I have an 06 and it does the same thing. Granted I have not cleaned out the system, I just thought that this was normal due to the high compression our bikes have, and with it designed...

Don't want to burst your bubble, but I don't know if this is the right forum for this question. A lot of us are pretty conservative in these kind of riding aspects. We pride our selves for being ATGATT, and loath other riders that give fellow riders a bad time by continuing stereotypes...

Hey Eddie, I need a clarification. You want certain photographs on certain days, correct? In the scavenger hunt rules, someone has to take a picture for the event and not use a picture you have taken before hand. Does this mean that for the day specific posts that we have to take the...

fully agreed.

I love how everyone reveres the cyclist as a 'hero' and that it is a "win." But when the motorcyclist did something a lot less damaging and nearly got killed over it, he is considered being stupid and at fault. :confused:

If you have the time, go though the video frame by frame. He has both feet up at first and the SUV is next to him. Then the SUV turns into him and he has to put his left foot down to not fall over. SUV hits bike Then it looks like the biker turns around and says something to them...

Yes, it is going to reduce the speed and gas mileage. Effectively you are removing the 6th gear and putting in a new first gear. all the other gears are now effectively one gear down. I know by this, it sounds like stupid change, but it does help. I dont know about other people, but I...

I have done it and It made a huge difference. I will never try and talk someone into a mod, but I will tell you my experience. After getting the bike (a true sleeper) the stock chain was very stiff. I decided that if I was going to buy a new chain I might as well go to a 520 and reduce the...

Is it bad that I am hoping that the local police department is backtracking these people to arrest them for being stupid. I HATE getting witch hunted while I am riding my bike because I am to be assumed I am somehow like these people....

I have never been down, but from the few times I have been with a group that a rider went down, the engine is usually the last of your worries. Most of the time, I think people refer to "the bike started up and i rode it home" is in reference that it was in decent enough shape for it to limp...

well you could take a bit of time and test the fuel pump directly. We know we have a circuit with a 12v source. I have found in a "FZ6 S2 2007 Service Manual" that the pump is made by DENSO and has a maximum consumption amperage of 5.5 amps We can test it with a lower amperage using Ohm's...
