Re: Clutch Issue - Stuck Plate? I feel like a new gasket would be advisable every time. Emergency situations, you gotta make due... But I'd try and replace it asap if I were you.

Hey dude! Happy birthday! I made sure to have your KTM all fixed up from when you crashed it last, and I hope you like it!

As far as I'm aware, this is normal. Mine does it too and I'm pretty sure it's the drive train slack being taken up as the bike starts to roll. It's the same reason why if you stop your bike in first gear with the clutch in and try to roll forward or backward, there's a point where you'll likely...

You ever gonna get back to me with some pics my man?

Rub dish soap on the inside of your visor and then wipe it away with a cloth. (No water involved) For clearing your visor itself, I tilt my head, use my glove, or lean forward near the windscreen to catch air and remove it that way.

Bag will double as the tool box. Thus, problem solved!

There's a chance that certain job sites may offer such a thing, but I can't be sure. Contractual work basis means that I'll be going to many different job sites, and I don't know what type of accomodations they'll have there. I have heard of occasionally being able to leave your tools/cart on a...

Those don't look too bad. The added space would be an excellent addition to the bike! Glad you're still living though, since you're a big connection for me, haha! Either attack some photos here, or upload it on imgur and provide a link! I really like the look of that! The tools I'm looking...

I'd be interested, although some photos and the likes would be much appreciated! I don't have much longer to acquire tools and bags, so I'm working on the clock. Tools aren't covered by my work, since I'm essentially getting contracted out and am expected to have my own everything. I'm able to...

Heya dudes! I've scored an apprenticeship with the Toronto Millwright Union, and will be expected to bring with me a certain amount of tools. Having mulled the list over, I've already got half of them and the remainder don't appear to be too bulky. As such, I'm looking to find solutions for...

Vinman, Payneib ... Both of you, enough. This is turning into a pissing match over nothing. You've both said your piece, and I'd appreciate if you'd simply stop posting in this thread. Nothing is being contributed anymore.

Old tires or lack of air pressure could cause you some trouble. Make sure those are both up to par! Countersteering and using your opposite foot (Turning right would have you pushing the right side of the handle bar, and anchoring with your left) as an anchor will do wonders. Anchor just means...

I take it you just bought the FZ6 and have very little miles under your belt? Bike's quirky bud. Be quick but smooth with your shifting (both clutching and throttle) and try to make sure you're at least around 6K RPM for the initial gears. Preload the shift lever even during regular shifts, and...

As the title says, I swapped out my old stock spark plugs (overdue for both years and mileage) for some long life Iridiums. As per reading, I didn't gap them at all - just plug and play. Old plugs were obviously used, but were otherwise in good condition and didn't appear to have been fouled in...

I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall reading (I think FinalImpact said it) that they're more spacious just outside of where they connect to the engine in order to create a difference in pressure and help pull out exhaust gasses during high engine speeds. The rest of the pipe after that is...

Heh, yeah. Couple commenters are getting a little bit snappy with each other over a difference of opinion. We're all friends here guys, please try and keep it civil! Different interpretations sounds about right. Would have been interesting to have seen some different engine tunings between...

That right there is what I'm wondering. Like, how hard would it have been to go "The clutch pull is quite heavy compared to most bikes. Can we put on a lighter spring or improve the action at all?" , "The throttle is pretty choppy. Perhaps we should add a bit of fuel when moving and the throttle...

I think the underlying message with my original post was intended to be: Why do I feel like my bike fights me to ride it? A mistaken assumption is to think that I liked the Gixxer more because it was lighter and faster, which isn't true. My bike was in decent shape when I got it, a mildly used...

Of course out bike will beat out others. I was riding today just for fun, but was wishing I'd been taking something else home with me. Of course the FZ6 will outperform other bikes in various categories, but what I don't understand is when you try to justify the bike as having sport qualities...

I went out today to Mosport, and partook in a number of bike related activities up to and including test rides. I rode a CTX700 (cruiser) at the Honda tent which was fun to try and go fast on, all the while scraping pegs hard through corners. Following this, I got onto a bike which had been...
