Looking around the forums I have noticed an alarming amount of corrosion to bikes in otherwise 'Mild climates'. The UK isn't exactly dry at the best of times but bikes never seem to suffer that badly compared to those where you might expect a more forgiving climate! My 03 FZ6 has a small...

Hi all, I searched this problem on the forum and found a couple of topics where there is a front end knock. What I want to know is this..... My knock is coming from the front brake calipers. I first thought it was the steering head bearings and checked them first. Of course they were fine and...

Is this a northern hemisphere thing or does everyone north of the equator prefer lefts to rights? If not then what the heck? For some reason I can take left handers with no worries and feel really confident, but right handers (especially in the rain) freak me out! Does anyone else...

Hi all, sorry to dive in with my first post with such a ridiculous question, but today I disconnected my 2003 FZ6 battery to remove a fire hazard left by the previous owner. It was only disconnected for no more than 30 seconds, but when I switched the ignition back on my recorded mileage had...
