I have had 2 tickets in the last 3 months on my bike. One was $144.00 in woodland WA for doing 68in a 55... The bad one was in The Dalles OR. That one cost me 1148.00 dollars and a 30 day suspension (starts in 16 days :( ) I was out in the country (or so I thought) and opened it up to 141...

Update. Didn't have to sell the bike. I will be broke this summer, but o well right? Anyways, Didn't think a post made in anger would stir up so much discussion :P only losing my license for 30 days, which is good as well. Tri-met in august :( tears... lol Anyways, learn from me guys and ride...

Yeah guys... I'm totally guilty, I just grew up hearing things like "go in the hills to play around" Anyways, I'm looking at at $1200.00 fine and 30-90 days suspension... Might have to sell the bike now because it is my impression they want the ticket pain in full... Anyways, My bike is...

Rule 1. Don't assume going fast in the hills is okay. Rule 2. Don't go fast in the hills. Rule 3. Don't forget to use your blinker if you get pulled over because you disregarded rules 1 and 2. Rule 4. When the officer asks " do you know how fast you were going?" just be honest...

Okay. After a short ride using only the rear brake it seems that the problem has been resolved. The rear wheel seems to spin better than it ever has. The only thing is is still sounds like it is rubbing. Is this normal? Anyways, i do appreciate all the help guys/gals. :rockon:

Okay guys. Just finished reassembling everything. I'm going for a quick night ride right now to break it in and see if the grease made a diff. Btw the seals looked completely new, I just cleaned them. I will keep you guys posted.

Okay, thanks to those whom have responded. I went out and bought some of the high temp brake lubricant. My plan is to drain the rear brake of fluid completely and then pop out the piston. Then I will thoroughly clean all the parts and lube up the stuff that moves. Does this sound about right?>

Hey guys/gals it's the orange fizzer guy again... Anyways, here's the problem. 2005 Fz6 Tires changed a few weeks ago (got the new battle axe 023's) Went riding and broke them in. Went out with a buddy and locked up my rear brake to avoid hitting him. The rear started to drag immediately...

Thanks everyone problem resolved. Jumped the bike with a car battery and road it all day. Starts fine now and no more light or error codes :)

Thanks for the replies guys. I am going to the garage to try and charge her up. I'll keep you updated.

Okay, I decided to sync my throttle bodies. No problem there, just takes a long time to dial them in. As I was finishing up, the bike suddenly died and the check engine light came on followed by the error code #46. I did run the bike at idle for about 45 minutes while adjusting the throttle...

Okay, I will answer my own post. I got bored today and just did the Air Induction bypass. What a difference. No more exhaust popping at all. Best 10 minute mod I've ever done.

Yeah here is mine with full fairing... Some like it :) I sure do.

Hey guys. How many of you have done the Air induction system bypass mod? I've got the TB dual exhaust and juice box + K&N and have horrid exhaust popping. After syncing the throttle bodies I still have popping... I've read the posts on here regarding the normalcy of the popping and while it may...

Yeah, i figured some would like it and some would not... I guess that's why they say variety is the spice of life huh? Anyways, glad to be on the forum. My motivation for the color was this sweet Lamborghini that cruises downtown Portland frequently. I might not have that car, but I've got...

Thanks :) Yeah you guys do seem to offer a lot of advice. By the way, the ups chick is very very thirsty :P

Hey guys, this is my fist time posting. I have been busy in the garage getting my newly bought(used but new to me) Fz6 looking right. Here are some before and afters. I will also be syncing my throttle bodies soon :) The Mods I have done include Two Brothers dual aluminum cans, juice box...
