Thanks for the reply, with the WD40 do I want to wipe off excess or just let it soak and than apply chainlube over it? I bought the bike used, so I have to assume the previous owner never changed the chain have about 9k miles on her. I've always kept the chain well maintained before hand...

Thankfully she's been on a battery tender the whole while. Learned that lesson the hard way. Sunday morning is the big day I haven't even taken the cover off yet. Its like Christmas morning for me tomorrow haha.

I'm so glad you mentioned that you just jogged my memory! I ordered a ez glider lube kit almost a year ago and never used it. Woot I just found it buried in my tools.. you rock. I'll get some pics up when she's back to her former glory!

(edit: she sat for almost 8months!) So I had a on the road job and the poor girl has been sitting covered outside in all weather(mostly high heat, rain, no freezing weather). I added seafoam before I left and cranked her up every month when I was home. This is my to-do list have I forgotten...

I went to my local shop looking for new grips. I looked for the oldest motorcycle guy I could find and asked him what grips he used. After a long ramble about arthritis and how many grips he's gone through he recommended these: Pro Grip 724 Dual Density Road Grip - Street Bike - Motorcycle...

Curious what PSI do you run your tires at? And how often do you check?

My fuel usage is always a mix of highway and city I'd be safe saying its almost 50/50. I figured now is the time to worry about mpg before summer hits and gas prices go up another dollar. From full till F trip I've been getting around 120miles to the tank. I'm going to replace my air filter...

So after a battery reset I managed to pull 119 miles, filled her up with 3.5 gallons got 34mpg(sprinted riding mix of highway and town). I also did a throttle body sync halfway through so we shall see how the next filled tank goes on mpg. I did notice however my exhaust is popping a lot when I...

I had a similar problem with my key. Go to your local autozone or parts store, and head to the check out counter. Almost all of them will have it right there. Its a little gray package if i remember correctly almost like a big sugar packet, its ignition grease. Just rip it open coat your entire...

So it'll take a few days before I can tell if the battery reset worked. I will say one thing I noticed today after doing the reset. My throttle response was amazingly better. I checked some stores for a sync kit none had them I'm thinking I'll have to order one. Question: Can the TPS be...

Thanks motogiro I'm going to try that today along with seeing about syncing my throttle bodies. I've checked my odo against a trip I take often to visit my brother I fill up at the gas station before the interstate and reset the trip meter and it always reads the same, double checked it against...

Air filter: Clean, Tire pressure: Checked, Chain Slack: perfect, Wheels Aligned: Check, no extra equipment. Brakes dragging hmmm.. possible my front brake is getting a lil squeaky. My rear brake isn't dragging know for a fact. Syncing throttle bodies any idea how much that'll run me? Also...

I've been trying to find the cause of this problem for a while. I'm getting around 25-30mpg no matter my riding style. I've changed out my spark plugs, oil, checked chain slack, tire pressure, throttle play, idle is at 1100, and I always wait for proper operational temp before heading out. I...

MotoCentric Centrek Backpack - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore MotoCentric Centrek Backpack :: MotoCentric I have this one, has so many features and fits a good bit. I can carry rain pants/rain coat pair of jeans, a shirt and a sweater, winter gloves, including a extra visor if I need...

Your reply makes a lot of sense. I always wondered that about the power curves how they seemed to be a nice curved line. I wonder if its possible to find the actual values for a stock fz6 especially the fuel mapping.

Heh twist the throttle I never thought of that thanks. Was just curious of why that 11mph speed and rpm did that. I'll just chalk it up as its personality it wants to go faster haha crazy blue bikes. I tend to hit 11mph when in bumper to bumper traffic you go with the flow here dont get to lane...

Noticed this a few weeks back, if I lock the throttle while in 1st gear and stay at 11mph the engine lugs I get spurts of power as it tries to maintain 11mph. If I drop it a fuzz to 10mph all is fine and the same for 12mph. What gives? Should I be concerned? Bike runs great otherwise.. 07 fz6

Downtown New Orleans is horrible for riding around for a joy ride; I commute to work from uptown to downtown every day. Roads are rough and the drivers/ taxi cabs will try to run you down =) But if you don’t mind some rough roads the uptown area is fun to cruise around lots of places to stop and...

Just some advice to learn from my mistake. Make sure you ground your wire well. I drove around all day after adjusting my CO1 from 0 to 20 and CO2 from 0 to 20. Seems to run smoother. But suddenly I threw a check engine light, fault code 21. Uh oh..thermostat was reading at half, fan was on full...
