    What is the license procedure where you live?

    In Ontario Canada, it is a three part process. Step 1 (M1)Written Safety test- similar to auto, but with a motorcycle section. Allows you to ride during daylight hours, zero alcohol and not on 100kph highways(with some more remote area exceptions). Must be an M1 for 3 months(two with MST)...

    Does your handle bar shaking?

    Did your regular maintenance include synchno'ing the throttle bodies? I had a very bad high frequency vibration when I got my 06, and was advised to synch the throttle bodies. This made a huge difference, then to get rid of the last bit of buzz I added gel grips and I was good to go. Just a...

    POLL: Do you Cross the Double Yellow?

    I was told that when the laws were changed in 1990, there was no longer provisions included for regulating the lines on the road. There are still rules for passing near a hill or a bend in the road. But I guess theoretically they could make then all solid lines. As I was not living in Ontario in...

    POLL: Do you Cross the Double Yellow?

    Sure, no problem if the way is clear with no hills or curves near by, especially considering in Ontario lines on the road are not regulatory.

    Clutch Slave Levers - I'm making them again

    Just got the Clutch slave lever parts last week and installed them on Friday. So Saturday was nice and I took the bike for a 300 km run, bit of highways and lots of small road through towns. What a difference. The clutch effort is greatly reduced making the bike much better for street use...

    Cheapest / best bang for the buck top case + braket?

    There are cheaper, but from what I heard there are problem like strength, locking mechanisms and leaking in the rain. I use a Givi E46 top box and a tank bag. Works great for me.

    givi screen 04-06 comments?

    I put the Givi on a few weeks ago and it reduced the wind blast across my chest. Good for touring, but a little noisier than the stock. I wear plugs so no problem for me. Easy to duck down a bit in the rain. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, so if you're shorter then you may not have to duck down at...

    Brand new FZ6 S2 .. damaged paint..

    Good for you, there is no way the paint should be coming off after a week. There is an obvious defect here and they need to make it right. Tell them to re-paint it properly or refund your money and take the bike back.

    looking at a 2006 FZ6

    Check out the company All Balls, they are supposed to have a very good set of replacement bearings. the run around $35.00 and you should be able to get a shop to install, if unable to do the work yourself. Personally I will be buying a set just to make sure I have them if needed and if not...
