Thought I would see if Pete or any of the other TX folks will be hitting the track here anytime soon (yes I get understand we just received 12" of snow in Dallas). My first will be with Ridesmart at MSR-H outside of Houston on March 6. Anyone thinking about a track day in TX?? Brian

Seeing Speedygonzales track pics got me motivated to post some of my recent day at a track here i north Texas. the FZ6 hustles around a track quite nicely!! Traack Day at Cresson - a set on Flickr

After 4 track days now the knee is getting down occasionally but the toes are dragging a fair bit. I presume my only solution (short of a new bike!!) is rear sets? Any thoughts or experiences with different mfg's for them? I looked at the Rizoma's, look great but way $$$$ I knew rearsets would...

Just purchased a new lid and thought I would share my initial impressions. Disclaimer note!!! All helmet reviews are subjective and you should try on many and find the one the fits best and is most comfortable. For reference, my former helmet is a Scoprion EXO-400. This was my first helmet...

To my surprise recently I pulled inot fule up and the tank would not open! through process of elimination it has been determined that the fuel tank is pulling a strong vacum and not venting therefore holding the cap down. The dealer is saying there is 1 way valve thta may be faulty. I ahve the...

Not quite sure where this on fits (mods, Technical, Track...) I have started to look at some other more track oriented 600's and had the opportunity to feel a Slipper Clutch (on a ZX6r) and a quick shifter (a triumph 675). The quick shifter was kind of a fun toy. The slipper clutch however was...

I removed and unplugged all of my lights for a trackday yesterday and today whil putting it all backtogther all was great until I noticed the tailight was not lit. It comes on when I use either brake however. All I did was unplug the various lights. I re-checked the connectors and lines and all...

Anybody had road 2ct's on for a track day? I am going to the track in a couple weeks and have road 2ct's on right now. I am not too worried about them as they handle well in some of my more aggressive riding but I was interested in anybody's first hand experience. BTW, this is my first Track day...

I was curious to see if anyone had attended this riding school or were thinking about atteding. I want to attend a riding school and have read some positive things about the James school and I like that fact that they have R6's and FZ6's to use at the school (in addition to using your own FZ if...

Weather looks good (for now at least) and I am planning to head out with some other sportbikes on a ride this saturday in the dallas area. Details to follow but most likely start around 11:00-12:00 and ride about 150-200 miles of backroads. thought I would share and will post more info as the...

I am heading out with some others on saturday 2/7 and thought I would see if any other FZ6's wanted to join. Heading from Mckinney west and then north to red river. Back road twistys most of the route. Weather should be great for a nice afternoon ride!! 12:00 Chevron at NE corner of 380 and...

So i have noticed a hissing sound as I corner. This happens at all speeds, seems to be greater at higher lean angles however. At first I thought is was aero around the fairing tips but I have noticed at 30-35 mph relatively high lean angle turns as well. Perhaps a breather or vent hose...

Santa brought me some nice new Pazzo Shorties, Thank You Santa!! The brake went on fine per instructions. Clutch went in fine as well but the adjustment is WAY off. The first few attempts at test killed the engine. I was able to back the adjustment knob at almost all the way out and was able to...

I am planning to ride tomorrow (provided weather cooperates) thought I would see if any dallas area wanted to join in. Meeting at BJ's Brewhouse on 75 and plano pkwy in Plano at 11:00. Heading north to 455 west on 455 to at least celina (maybe 35) and then down to Moto Liberty for the midnight...

Blew off work today to enjoy the North Texas 65 degree day and was running along nicely in NE collin county on FM1377 when I encountered my very first flat while riding, 60mph into a shallow sweeping curve and the rear tire goes down. A mild case of panic followed by a run off the curve and into...

Anyone planning to attend the International Motorcycle Show in Dallas this weekend. I have attended in the past, If you have been in the past is this worth the trip to look at the latest and greatest?

Hello, First Mod, therefore first question to the group...Purchased competition werks pegs this weekend, no problem with the installation but now I would like to adjust the brake lever down a bit and can not seem to get the lever off the geared post. I loosened the retaining screw at the back...
