yeah, it's the washer that's missing, not the spacer. I checked around everywhere and no-gots. Like I said, I really am 98% sure I remember thinking, while washing it or just admiring, that it seems like there should be a washer. This was before i even bought the new tires, I mean, it's my first...

Ah yea OK it seems like I'm missing a second washer. Hopefully it fell off while I was taking the wheel off, I'll have to check around when i get home from work. I wish i was more certain but i feel like one side never had a washer on it...bought it used obviously. Hopefully ill find it, if not...

Hey everyone, I finally bought some new tires for my bike and took off the wheels and had them changed at a local shop. I got home last night to put the wheels back on, thinking I'd at least have time to go for a test drive afterwards! Well, I spent about three hours messing around with just the...

No, in Ma you can ake the BRC, the ERC, or just get tested at the DMV for your license. I didn't know you could skip the basic course and just take the experienced, that's really all I was trying to find out lol Plus the ERC is over $100 cheaper and it's only one 6 hour day :rockon:

Thanks everyone, yea I do feel like I have sufficient riding skills and I can operate my fz6 with at least basic proficiency. I think I would pass the DMV test without a problem, other than nerves haha. I would just like to take the opportunity to learn more while getting tested for the license...

Hi, I've been riding for just over a year now on my permit. I've been learning a lot and having a blast. My father has taught me a lot, not to say it's a replacement for the BRC but I didn't just get on and go lol. I'm just wondering if I have to take the BRC before the ERC or if I could just...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions :rockon: I bought the pilot road 2's front and rear! I'm excited to see what it feels like to ride on tires that aren't square and actually have some grip! I haven't noticed much slipping or anything but I've been taking it easy knowing my tires will not hold...

thanks Raptorman! I found some good prices at compacc.com, cheapest price I could find! I'm gonna just go ahead and pull the trigger on the PR2's. Many on here have spoken very highly of them, I'm sure I'll be impressed. I guess it's just a kind of important and pricey purchase so I'm just...

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for yet another "what tire should I get" thread but this will be my first new set of tires and I'm sort of clueless. The PR2's have great reviews all around and as such, I'm leaning towards them. However, lots of other tires have great reviews as well, continental conti...

Nice vid! :thumbup: I have yet to make it out to the mohawk trail on my bike, it's on my list of rides though, it's a very nice road! But yea there are a lot of cars and if you get stuck behind a line of them, there's not much you can do but mosey along! As soon as I log some highway miles...

Hey! Welcome to the forum! I bought this bike about three months ago, it's my first as well. I'm sure you'll be fine, you seem to be doing everything right! After three months and a loooot of riding, I can definitely tell that I'm more comfortable and everything is coming a lot more natural...

I was looking for a ninja650, had some bad luck at one dealership. I was waiting on a check from a loan so I couldn't put money down, while I was there someone came and bought the one I was looking at! Decided to go to another dealer to look around and see what they had. They only had brand new...

That is awesome! Thanks for posting! :thumbup:

Here's a couple pic's! Thanks again to everyone for the welcome :thumbup:

Thanks! Yeah that's how I'm doing the hill starts, using the rear brake to hold me in place, thanks for the tip though! It's usually only a problem when my mind isn't in the right place, kinda hard to put it into words but if I'm thinking too hard about what to do, almost always I just get...

So about a month ago, I bought my first bike, a 2006 yamaha fz6. I am absolutely loving it! Everything has gotten much smoother, shifting, slowing, stopping, cornering, etc. and every ride I can very clearly see improvement in different aspects. The only thing that still gives me problems is...

Hey thanks everyone! To answer some questions, I'm just waiting to save up the cash for the coarse. I had wanted to take it before buying the bike but things just sort of fell into place with it. And yea those roads out near Stafford are like 75% of what really pushed me over the edge to needing...

Thanks, no I didn't know about that site I will check it out though! And yeah I definitely plan on buying proper gear, just want to get the coarse done before I start dishing out more money haha. And about the parking lot, that brings up another question...as I said I live in the country, theres...

Hey everyone, just thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. My name's Matt and I'm from monson, ma. I just bought, well I'm in the process of buying an 06 fz6. This is my first bike. I'm surprised it's taken me so long to get one, I'm 23, everyone in my family rides but I guess I was just...

Good things to keep in mind for sure! thanks
