When at slow speed, getting to the main route, neighborhood streets then visor up. Otherwise I never ride with the visor up.
I've heard couple stories how a person got hit by o rock, a very tiny one, and either injured an eye or lost vision partially. It is unsafe, period.
I had the ignition problem usually when bike was in heavy rain for couple days and I used graphite powder lubricant. Two puffs and it was back to normal.
Use a lube instead of WD40, because it's a cleaner not a lubricant. Greg mentioned silicone which also would be great. I use TriFlow on all...
Oh man, this Tuano is my dream bike...for now. The most powerful naked on the market if I'm not mistaken. Just sweet! But my FZ6, even though beat up a little, works great, and I like it even more as a naked bike.
But as something more financially manageable my pick would be:
Yamaha wr250x -...
Agreed 100%, and this is exactly my choice for the past 2 years - it's Castrol Syntec. I didn't look at the Yamaha recommended oil chart, but on any motor oil chart, which shows temp rages. One thing makes this oil different is that it doesn't have any lubricating additives, because of the wet...
These are inexpensive.
How about high humidity days, or cooler days? Do they fog?
I use clear visor and Ryders sunglasses, tired of changing visor when I need to ride in the dark.
As a short guy 5'5'' I had the same problem when I started. Especially when I started riding with racing boots and leather pants. I was all stiff and it was impossible for me to put both feet down, which led to couple accidental falls when at zero speed. Then I developed a method of putting my...
Since I smashed my FZ6 I've been riding without any instruments. I installed the headlight, but have no idea how to connect the gauge. With the light I was just touching wires until I found it, but with the main gauge I'm lost.
I thought someone might go through this already.
Thanks in...
I recently notice mine started to make noise when breaking, and I thought it's time to replace them, but when I took them off I saw a lot of breaking meat left.
I'd like to try pedwards89 method, simple idea. Something might got stuck down there that causes the noise.
BTW. What break pads...
I bought my FZ6 in spring 2007, so 5 years ago, and couple months later I high sided it while pushing in a little too hard. Then I gave up riding until spring of 2010. Here are the pics from then and pretty much how it looks now - I have larger mirrors now, can't find pictures though.
Same here, and when I see a car coming from behind I flash my break light.
I used to come to stop and then shift down to N, but engine breaking feels just natural, the same way as is a car with manual trans.
I bought these online in 2007, I own perforated model though I still wear them 99% times when I ride. Had a minor fall and pretty serious accident and did not break a foot. I bruised up one foot when a bike fell on me, but nothing had been broken. Expensive, very comfortable, very protective, I...
I ride Pilot Road 1, which is not on the list, but as an alternative I'd probably choose P Road 2CT. Never had a problem with mine PR1, riding my 1st set, before I was using sport tires, like Battlax bt014, but wanted something that would last longer because I ride more and not as hard as I used...
