    Whistle and Chocked Rev at Idle

    Just put it in the gas, man. You're over thinking this, and worrying too much. I would, however, suggest changing the oil before riding too much more. It's good practice to do it when you buy a used bike.

    the ArmaLite Rifle

    I'm also planning to get a CMMG (or similar) .22LR conversion for this upper until I can build a dedicated .22 upper. I love shooting .22 because it's so cheap, but there's something to be said about the bang therapy that goes along with a "real" bullet.

    Whistle and Chocked Rev at Idle

    The whistle (whine?) is most likely the fuel pump. That'll never go away. It kind of has to be there. :BLAA: Do NOT move the fuel filter. You want it at the pickup of the pump, otherwise you risk damaging the pump if some crud gets picked up. what's the inside of your tank look like...

    04 FZ6 front fender

    It's not a unviersal fender. Whoever told you that is full of it. You CAN, however, get a fender from another FZ6 (04-06 will fit). Check out Ronayers.com or Bikebandit.com for parts fiches which I believe will give you the OEM part #.

    the ArmaLite Rifle

    I'm in the process of building one now. I have the lower mostly build. I have the barrel and gas block. So many parts are on backorder, it's not even funny! Here's what my build will be/have: Spikes Tactical lower receiver RRA 2-stage match trigger/LPK with Ergo grip (thing feels...

    Photography Thread !!!

    One thing I like to do, though it's a bit time consuming, is to browse through Flickr and look at the exif data of interesting pictures. This gives me all the settings the photographer used for the picture, especially for frames I'm having a difficult time capturing (I completely screwed up...

    New bike

    If it's not running, no amount of fuel treatment will help. It'll require a complete tear-down.

    Tire Change

    What'd you do about balancing?

    Hesitating about buying an FZ6

    The interesting thing with this is that it only happens above ~15mph. If you play around in a parking lot, you can feel it transition into counter steering.

    Some people just deserve to enjoy their stupidity

    That's a rarity for dealerships. Most just want to make a sale.

    High beam

    You'll only blow a fuse by overloading the circuit, or having a short somewhere. A loose connection won't blow the fuse unless it falls off and shorts out. What's the problem you're having?

    Engine Coolant Change (Engine Ice)

    One thing to check and keep track of, living in FL it isn't as critical, is the minimum temperature it's rated for. I believe the engine ice isn't rated for the typical sub-zero temperatures that regular ethylene glycol is.

    Engine Coolant Change (Engine Ice)

    Your coolant resevoir is at the front of the engine behind the headers? Is that normal for the 09's? My 04's is behind the engine, under the seat.

    Photography Thread !!!

    Ok, I'll play. Just got a Rebel T3i as a graduation gift from myself and my wife. I've been playing with it a little bit. I know I still have some work to do, but I'm getting there, as i figure out the bells and whistles. IMG_0051 by camper4lyfe, on Flickr IMG_0041 by camper4lyfe...

    Any horn systems like this one?

    I really like that idea. The boat horns are more compact than the Stebels, and quite loud!

    Blinked wires

    In short, yes. Duct tape is ok in a pinch, but it's far from a long term solution.

    for those who have done the steering head bearings...(help!)

    It definitely looks like your races aren't fully seated. I'd check that first.

    04 seems to be running warm?

    I'm 99% sure I could get my hands on a laser thermometer. I could do the thermostat and temp sensor. It's just not going to happen this weekend. The down side is that I'll have to change the coolant again, but that's not entirely the end of the world.

    04 seems to be running warm?

    I've never noticed any pinging or detonation. For note, I run fully synthetic 10W-40. I may switch up and try to find 20W-40, but I don't know that it'd make that great of a difference in that respect. *edit* And WOW. They couldn't have found a better place to put the thermostat?
