    Gas Brand Preferences??

    I stick with name brands like BP, Mobil, Exxon, and Amaco unless I am out in the sticks and don't have a choice. I also run regular cause that is what the manufacturer calls for. No need to put in higher octane unless you are pinging/knocking. Can't wait to park the car once winter is over...

    How's everyone's weight loss going?

    I have lost 7 pounds so far. All I have done is change my diet. I eat about 500 calories for breakfast and again for lunch then I am left with about 800 or so for dinner. Used to drink alcohol a couple nights during the week and then on weekends but have stopped drinking during the week. I do...

    My fz keeps dying!!!!!!!!!!

    It doesn't make sense that it would be a kickstand switch due to the fact that you had a problem starting the bike. The bike will start with the kickstand up or down so I would look into the battery idea or the clutch. Although none of it makes complete sense. So you had a problem with...

    Congrats USA with your new president!

    I am scared to see what happens to our country at this point. So many people only voted for obama based on skin color. It is like half the country has blinders on and can't see past the fact that he is the first black president. All the interviewed people are just concerned with his skin color...

    FZ6 Fuel Economy

    I tend to get around 45 mpg. I have gotten 50 mpg before with strictly freeway travel. The fz6 has a nice big tank so I can always go a lot farther than my riding buddies can.

    Keeping Hands Clean...

    North Woods by Superior - Glove Solvent Cream. Phone 800-242-7694 I think this stuff works better than the rath's pr88 in that it dries faster and lasts longer. Just wash it off when you are done with normal soap and water. Application lasts for 4 hours.

    Keeping Hands Clean...

    Latex or vinyl gloves like your doctor wears is great for keeping hands clean and maintaining feel of small parts while working. We wore them daily when I was an automotive mechanic. Just buy a box and keep them in the garage. They do tend to rip easily if you snag them on something but hey the...

    Opinions on asthetics....

    ASV's look great. As for the stock lever I would mount it on your toilet as the flush lever.

    I just got it June 2008. I love it. I had an sv 650 previously which was great to but I like the fizzer more. The pictures are the Hone Bridge down on the lake front. Couldn't pass up the photo opportunity even though I just had my camera phone.

    Need TB synch

    Not sure if it is the same with bikes but with cars it takes some time of running for the computer to adjust. You might want to consider just riding it around for a bit and see if that helps. And going thru ignition cycles also is key where it gets to full operating temp and closed loop and what...

    Ram Air Ideas Wanted

    there was a honeycomb section to the intake on my 2.0 turbo dsm right at the mass air flow sensor which was just after the air filter. not sure if it was there for the maf to work properly or for the turbulence to be taken out of the system for better flow going to the turbo. either way it was...

    Riding in the Rain?

    Great info here. Also turning your head to the side while riding also gets the water off pretty good if you don't have the squeege gloves. Take your time is the biggest thing. I have ridden in the hardest rain imaginable and cars were stopped under overpasses and I just kept at it. It took...

    Foot pegs

    Re: new screw in plates As far as people getting them powder coated. If you ask the place you are taking them to get powder coated to hold the pegs until they get an order from a large company to do black powder coating then you can usually have yours thrown in with theirs for a much cheaper...
