    My Version of the Airbox Mod to my '08

    Would it be worth my time to do this even though I have the stock exhaust?

    When should fan turn on?

    Thanks! I'm going to keep an eye on it.

    When should fan turn on?

    At what engine temperature should my radiator fan kick on? A while back on a warm day my temperature light came on. When I got home in my garage I noticed the fan was not running (but the temp light was still on) so I nudged the fan with my finger and it started spinning. This hasn't happened...

    ASV levers installed *pics*

    I also have the ASV levers (black) and I love them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade from the stock levers.

    What's an FZ6? A what now?

    LOL This is exactly what my riding buddy and I joke about all the time. Many people (in the US anyway) think there are two types of motorcycles: Harleys and crotch-rockets. Oh well. I suppose sitting on 90+ horsepower could be considered a crotch-rocket!

    painted heat shield

    Looks great. I would also like to know what kind of paint you used. Did you prime it with anything?

    Xbox-Live anyone?

    I don't have Madden but if anyone is up for some FIFA09 my gamertag is "DC Yernited".

    MD, DC, VA (northern) Riders...

    I'm in Herndon. Did any of you guys get out on Sunday? I think I clocked about 100 miles. I saw lots of bikes out near Middleburg, VA on 50.

    Acerbis Dual Road Handguard - result!

    Do these install by replacing the bar end? If so are they weighted like the original bar end?

    What brand sliders do you have?

    I originally had some generic ones from some guy in Colorado that I bought on eBay. The sliders were good but the right side bolt didn't fit. The shoulder on the bolt kept it from screwing all the way in. Customer service from the guy was not up to par but that's what you get for $15. I had...

    Adjustable kickstand for FZ6?

    The amazing thing about assigned parking spaces is that you have to park where you have been assigned. Thanks. You've all been a tremendous help. Jeez, ask a guy what time it is and he tells you how to build a friggin watch.

    Adjustable kickstand for FZ6?

    The most obvious reason would be for those who lower their bikes. There are other situations where you might want an adjustable stand as well. Particularly if you often park in a place where the pavement is uneven.

    Adjustable kickstand for FZ6?

    Has anyone seen an adjustable kickstand for the FZ6? I've seen them online for the R6 but haven't found one for our bike.

    Hyperpro Lowering Springs Installed!

    Sorry, raise the forks in the t-clamp. What would you like to see a picture of notjohndavid? It got above freezing today so I went for a quick spin. I can't say that the bike handles any better or worse than before, but I definitely can say I feel more confident and more in control. I'm...

    Hyperpro Lowering Springs Installed!

    I just got my bike back from my mechanic. I had the Hyperpro 30mm lower springs installed. Mechanic said the hardest parts of the install were compressing the rear spring to get it on and putting the oil in the forks. Apparently the hole where you pour the oil in is pretty small. The install...

    Acerbis Dual Road Handguard - result!

    I like them. But I don't like the price. Those things are expensive! My Powermadd handguards are great in cold weather, I suspect you will have similar results with these.

    Warm day!

    Woohoo! It got up to 59 degrees F yesterday! I got out for a nice long ride. Here's a picture of my Fizzer I took when I stopped on the banks of the Potomac at River Bend park. :rockon:

    New Yamaha Dealer in Northern Virginia

    For those of us in the VA/MD/DC area there is a new Yamaha dealer in Manssas. Colgan Motorsports is on Wellington road. They just opened. Hopefully this will be a good alternative for those of us who dread the thought of going to Coleman.

    My coldest ride yet

    Today was my coldest ride yet. It was about 34*F when I left the house this morning. I was quite comfortable actually. The only thing that really got cold were the tip of my right thumb and middle finger. I have a 17 mile commute with mostly 35-45mph roads and one 2 mile stretch of highway...

    Kisan VectraLight License plate frame help

    Has anyone installed the Kisan VectraLight license plate frame? I attempted this yesterday but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. The turn signals are working as expected but the running/brake light seems to be on full bright all the time. I hooked the 12v power wire to the tail light...
