Hello All! I haven't been very active on here in quite awhile. I hope everybody is well. I am trying to sell my FZ6 and I'm not getting any bites. Here is the ad on Craigslist. Am I asking too much? Describing it poorly? I delete and repost the ad often so that link probably won't...

Never mind. I changed my mind.

Hey All, I'm in the market for a touring screen for my '06 FZ6. Does anybody have a decent used one they'd sell me? Thanks! Tony

*mostly So, I saw this post on ADV Rider by a user named Poolside a couple years ago and decided to finally try it this weekend. I run Pilot Road 2's and all tire/wheel combos are different, but I expect it should work with all FZ6 mounts. Wow.. just wow. The tire just pops on with a...

Well this was a bummer. I walked out to my bike this morning to find a pool of coolant on the driveway. It didn't take long to identify the source. There's a hairline fracture in the reservoir. It's odd. I rode it Friday and it sat all day Saturday with no signs of leakage. Then this...

Just what the title says... Has anybody made a how-to for valve check/adjustment? I've searched and searched but have come up empty. I have the official repair manual which does provide good detail, but a good step by step with actual pictures would be really nice. I'm comfortable working...

I had a great time on a solo camping trip in the George Washington National Forest this past weekend. I camped at a nice cleared site off the road along a stream. You gotta love the free camping options in the National Forest sytem. It was a nice little site with enough downed wood to make...

So I had a thought this morning on my way in to work. What if cars had a some sort of device that the operator could activate that indicated that they were about to turn? Wouldn't that be neat? Maybe it's a red flag on the roof that driver operates with a lever on the ceiling. Or! Oh.. what...

I practice panic breaking a few times every few weeks. Sometimes in parking lots and other times on empty stretches of road. I do very well in practice. BUT! I fall apart in the real world. I was cutoff yesterday morning on my way to work and I missed the offender's car by less than a...

So I bought a very gently used chain and sprocket set for my 2006. It's all in primo condition but it's missing a master link. I suspect this is because this style chain doesn't really have a master link so the chain had to be cut off of the original bike. It's the DID 50V4 chain that the...

My 2006 (25K miles) has shut down on the road three times over the past week (twice today.) It acts as if I've flipped the kill switch. I've been able to start it each time while still rolling, though the last time I had to drop down to neutral and pull the clutch to get it to start again...

Ducati 750SS cafe racer + Keira Knightly = Heaven (Now with working link) I happened to catch this commercial during an old Seinfeld last night. Double Gulp... <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TiO2o1NChAU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Not...

First and foremost, sorry that I don't have video of me crossing this creek on my FZ6. The first time I was alone and the next day, well things didn't go as planned for the guy I was riding with. Make sure the volume is up. The vid quality isn't that great,but the dialog more than makes up...

Scroll to the bottom to skip the blabber and look at the pics... (Jeeze, I just realized that I type too much and post too few pics in these reports. Imagine if I went for more than a few days. I'd easily write a book. Anyway.... on with it.) The Brrr Ride is a Concours Owners Group...

I'm planning on hooking up a power outlet and battery leads to my 2006 tomorrow and I have two questions: 1: In order to access the battery to wire up the fuse block and battery leads I assume that I need to lift the tank, but not the air box. The diagram below leads me to these conclusions...

A question was recently posted regarding adding excess oil on purpose. I didn't follow that 100%, but I do have a similar situation - I guess. About 1500 miles ago I changed the oil and was careful to add the correct amount. I checked the dipstick multiple times and it was perfect in the...

I'll admit right up front that I'm pretty bad with chain maintenance. I have 14k miles (22,500km) on the clock and I've only cleaned/degreased the chain twice now. I always keep it lubed, but the poor thing is always filthy. I think this Motul lube I've been using is too sticky. Grime is...

No, not my ride report I'm sorry to say. This is the most amazing AND the funniest ride report I've ever read. Check it out Great photography too. Warnings: 1. you will kill a few hours reading this 2. you will immediately begin planning your own adventure Quotes from the first post: "In 2...

Lets roll!! I'm thinking we could meet up at 8AM at this Citgo on Rt 6 The loose route plan would be route 6 W to Scottsville for a Hatton Ferry attempt. Hatton Ferry is last remaining poled ferry in the US and it will likely be closed for good very soon. (That's right - VA is trying...
