    Shudder when decel below 3,000 RPM

    adjust your chain slack, and don't trying coasting so slow. the engine is fighting the slap of the chain that is changing from above to below the swingarm as the countershaft sprocket snaps about. in other words: more throttle

    No, it is not. I rode with a fella on a 96 yzf that had 113000 miles on it. No issues other than the road grime.

    Stopped by the stealership yesterday...

    How did you outgrow an fz in 6 months ? You're a mondo racer that is getting trophies @ the track ? If you're still making payments, there is no way you've exceeded its potential.

    2 up

    +1 this is the best place and objectives to practice. slow speed, with a little sand/gravel (typical parking lot stuff) will make a believer of you very quickly. 2up is a challenge for seasoned riders and passengers at times. add an off camber hill, strange bump, or neat thing to look at (for...

    Looking for ideas - engine braking, need a brake light on to warn others

    Forget the legality, think about the hurt ! Who is to blame doesn't matter if/when you're under a car. If someone is tailgating, give them a few signals, if no change in bahvior, get off the road !

    Valve Clearance Results

    I was kidding with you ... but seriously, yamaha knows you won't buy my secret blended butter to help out with cylinder 3's wear-in problem, so they coated it with valvosleek, a proprietary compound gleened from years of NASCAR science (in marketing). The science of removing wads of cash from...

    Looking for ideas - engine braking, need a brake light on to warn others

    Change lanes, or get out of their way somehow. The bent tab to turn on the brake light earlier is a good idea. Just keep in mind you're using a $3 light bulb to keep a 4000 lb machine driven by an inattentive jerk from running over you.

    Where are you mounting your GoPro?

    Everywhere! On the road, on the swingarm, chestmount, boot mount, shifter view...get crazy and spend 4 hours at the same turn. Helmet mount is soooo boring, even more so on street bikes. Get a grab bag of mounts, put the suction cup (tethered of course) in odd places on your bike, and focus on...
