that is one fine looking bike! :thumbup:

I bought Erci's bike and if it wasn't all the way in before, it is now. I don't picture myself needing to adjust it in the future. I also agree with Motogiro with bumping up the thickness a bit to minimize speedo bounce, although making it nonadjustable may firm things up enough.

I received a pair of Sidi Fusion boots that I purchased online. While the length is a good fit, the width is a bit more narrow in the front/toe area that I'd like. It feels pretty stiff over the toe area, especially by the toe sliders so I am wary that it will break-in enough for comfort. Before...

i think the bike looks good, except for all those vendor decals, imho.

i threw the battery back into the bike after 2 months being out and it fired right up! :thumbup:

i'm going to the nyc show on sunday 1/22. in case anyone wants to get discounted tickets ($13 instead of $18), you can use promo code PROGNY5P at motorcycleshows.com. you could also check out goldstar.com (similar to groupon) for some cheaper tickets. i got mine through them for ($9 + 3.50...

glad you made it out relatively intact, anthony! hope you and the bike get well soon!

glad you're ok and had all your gear! i also agree that the insurance company will likely low-ball you. in addition to the sites david mentioned below, it would not hurt to have some quotes from ebay and craigslist of bikes in similar condition to back up your estimate. good luck - dealing with...

check out this thread if you haven't already done so: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/31045-help-stuck-oil-drain-bolt.html most effective seems to be drenching the plug with some wd40 or similar solution, tapping the plug and using the correct type of wrench/socket...

My first day in Cali and I came across a Fazer. Me: Driving father-in-law's Merc on the 60 Westbound, by Walnut, CA. You: Black, faired Fazer with plate: ***1961 Anyone here on the forum? :rockon:

thanks. picked up some dupont multi-use at lowes. since i had extra time, i took off the front sprocket cover as suggested by someone on the forum and there was definitely lots of gunk. talk about sticky icky! cleaned that off with the kerosene rag as well. i went with the heat gun but made sure...

thanks. that makes sense. :thumbup: i'm going to try to find some lube today and hope that no rust developed overnight. since i already have the battery pulled out at the moment, i'm planning on heating the chain with a blow dryer - any issues/pitfalls with that? how warm does the chain need to...

noob questions: i cleaned the chain with kerosene and a rag. i didn't have any lube on hand so am storing the bike sans lube for the moment. will there be any oxidation or other issues if i do not get to lube the chain until before i ride it next, say after a month? also, it sounds like lube...

looks like a fun ride. glad to see you didn't rush through it!

just winterized my bike for the month i'll be in cali. i think i'll be watching this video regularly until i (and good weather) return! :Sport:

great ride. here are some pics i snapped (while we wait for the video):

i definitely want to ride before winterizing. i don't have any heated gear so short of layering up, if it gets too cold, i won't be able to hang very long either (before slowly riding home with my tail between my legs), but willing to give it a go!

seems like a great last ride before winterizing. i'm interested, but may meet you at the first waypoint (farmers market?) if it's not too hard to coordinate. :D

:rof: naturally, the guy from vegas asks about the validity of the marriage! congrats, guys! destination weddings are great! hope you had a blast!

my buddy and i were riding around jersey today as well. awesome weather. made it down to chester/long valley area. would have been great to cross paths. next time!
