this is why im so weirded out, nothing has changed since putting it away other than the color. fairings and gas tank came off and had absolutely nothing in common with any mechanical parts. especially in the front end. rear brake and the bike behaves perfectly normal Best way to describe...

great, thanks guys.

tires were bought in August last year, very new. Bike itself was only bought last April, fork seals are good. ill have to check the steering bearing, although i live in a pretty dry climate and mostfailures look to be caused by rustyness. swing arm pivot is good as well. keep em comin, tire...

the Q2 is AWESOME. the bike to bike is great, even in the mountains or downtown. the cell phone usuage is even better, I however upgraded phones and the voice dialing system doesnt work as well as it did with my older phone. FM radio is great when commuting too as you can switch between...

Took 'er out for the first time since november thanks to another beautiful calgary chinook. However, my front brake has become very scary to use. Everytime I used it it seemed to pull the bike hard to the left (always started with the left) then hard to the right and so on until i stopped. I...

was riding last season in march. Lets pray for another 2 week chinook to finish off the rest of the sketchyness

my fav is for sure the gear one

Motivational Posters for those who love bikes :thumbup:

Im not looking for a windscreen that will put the air over my head, more something that allow for it to hit me in the chest (making the helmet quieter) A cut stock screen is the exact result im looking for, but the look of a short stock one just ruins the front of the bike for me... anyone...

just go to an autobody shop and ask if they can replace one for you. They will just give you one for free, we have giant cabinets in every shop in the city full of every clip retainer or rivet used on all brands of cars. one of them will work the same

I rock the Alter Ego pants everytime I ride. love em, but I doubt they provide that much protection. Better than just shorts or jeans, but they dont seem like they will hold up all that long in a slide. good ventilation, however with the side zippers open they are pretty much pointless to even...

well I think we can all agree that we would like to have more downlow torque. Are you saying the entire forum bought a bike thats wrong for us? Trying to improve what you have doesnt mean you dont like what you started with. and he already explained why re-gearing isnt doing what he is looking...

if your buying one for long trips, buy 2. i tried one on each handlebar and it definitely made the FZ6 feel like a comfy cruiser, and it was much safer than resting the other on the tank in an unexpected case.

Exactly. Once 5:30 hits, its time to go home and NOT work on cars/bikes

Thats just the parkade. its been sitting all winter and gets ridiculously dusty down there. Im a journeyman autobody painter and used one of our Garmat Booth Brothers XL Production booths (with 152 degree bake) this morning. No dirt nibs, and zero orange peel... Just the way I like it.

opening up your exhaust will do the exact opposite of what your looking for. Torque is directly related to the backpressure of your exhaust gasses, having more free venting (larger exhaust) means you will LOSE downlow torque and replace it along with more horsepower further up the power band.

After procrastinating for over 3 months to take the bike apart and paint it, I finally bit the bullet this week as riding season begins in a month. Only spent about 5 hours total (teardown, prep, paint and reassembly) Cant believe I didnt just do it earlier. Once its nice enough out, and I...

cause even if I DO buy that $12,000 Street Triple R, there will still be another bike I want. and after that and after that and after that. what it always comes down to is, this bike still hits 100kph in first gear and 3.2 seconds with far better gas mileage than my car. I have yet to get on...

Im storing in my new condo buildings parkade in front of my car. It is around 18* at all times. Should I really worry about being super anal over it like some people if it will never drop below freezing? I intended on just putting in some gas line stabilizer, covering it and every 2 months...

you are the winner here. Much cheaper unless you plan on using a spraybomb or really crappy clearcoat. Which will peel off and lose gloss resulting in a respray anyways. I would leave the decals, that stuff is extremely durable
