You'd want to loosen the two bolts on the sides of the top triple, and maybe the 2 on the lower. Don't loosen them very much or the tubes will drop right out of there. The top nut shouldn't need to be loosened.. but you'll want to make sure it's tight when you're done.

The way the front end is designed, it'd be impossible for the handlebars to be slightly out of whack and the bike to track perfectly straight unless the bars or something else was physically bent. There is no way for the bars to move forward or backward, only rotate or slide to one side or the...

These are ones I found when I was searching awhile back. Yamaha FZ6 Fazer Axle Sliders 2004-06

I just tighten mine every time I change oil. It only takes like 5mins not a big deal.

Sounds like a plan. But is it the 6th or 7th ;) I don't need to do anything on my bike but I'd be happy to hang out and shoot the bull :thumbup:

The SUV might not have been running, maybe he was smarter than the stunters and didn't want to park right around a blind corner so a bigger faster vehicle can crash into them and really hurt someone that doesn't deserve it. No sympathy here for the biker. Don't stunt on public streets...

Pretty good deal, '04 fz6 with 17km r6 forks, scorps, and other toys for $2.4k. It's not mine and I didn't list it, just thought I'd give a heads up. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/mcy/1153218788.html

Hey man, welcome to the party. :thumbup:

I know the technique, you use dry ice (frozen co2), you can pick it up at alot of grocery stores. You hold the dry ice on there for awhile, then use a heatsource (I used an actual heat gun for applying pinstripping) I've tried it it didn't do squat. You may have better luck. Another trick...

Man that sucks, I'd never let anyone ride my bike. I've dumped too much time an money into it to have it totalled. $3k sounds extremly steep from what I see. A new cowling, spedo, headlights, windshield, inner fairing plastics, mirrors, and front stay(which you many not even need) wouldn't...

That's a neat idea on the video there. Could have used that a few times heh. Anyone know of a place to get a heavy duty replacement zipper tongue? Mine on my joe rocket jacket broke awhile back. Been using a paper clip as a tongue for awhile but it kinda sucks heh.

Thanks again for the heads up Pete and Fred I had a great time! I rode a RSV1000. Here's my take on it. Style The bike looks sweet, it's a pure sportbike. The exhaust is a terrible eyesore though. Sitting on it was different, I'm a pretty big guy so I was a little cramped but not...

Yeah man nothing drops your heart in your stomach like walking out in your gear and looking at the spot where your bike used to be. Someone tried to steal mine about a year back now, had a disc lock so they didn't drag it too far but they still shattered the lock and did a good bit of damage...

Hah for some reason I pictured a little rubber pump button like those old shoes you "pumped up".

Yeah man, if you're dragging your toes you're body position is wrong. The balls of your feet should be on the pegs, not flat footed. Your heels should be against the heel guard on the rearset. This gives you the most control over your body position and the most leverage on the bike. When you...

That's pretty cool man. Man.. you just look like trouble LoL. Really is surprising how far bikes have come. Thanks for sharing the memories man :thumbup:

You could try http://www.bikerpunks.com I don't know what their limitations are such are. http://www.break.com Is real similair to youtube.

Hah yeap that's diffinatly a Texas road.. more tarsnakes than asphalt. Thanks for posting that man I've been really debating on getting one of those cams or not. As for mounting I dunno on the bmw, no windscreen it's probably goin to shake around a bit no matter where you mount it. There is a...

I dunno I clutch wheelies up all the time, it's very easy to me. The fz6 doesn't have enough torque to loop it easily. I start from rolling at about 15mph clutch in throttleup to about 5k and let the clutch out smoothly and quickly I don't dump it. As the front comes up I back off the throttle a...

I'd say tighten the stearing head. I almost guarantee that's your problem. I have to tighten mine every time I change oil. The spanner wrench in the tool kit works pretty well for it. Just get the front end off the ground and tighten the bottom ring down until you feel the resistance when you...
