It seems that breaking the bead is the challenging part. I found it quick and simple to use a C-clamp. You need to be careful working around the rim, but it only takes a second to pop the bead and then you can thread the zip-ties in while the clamp takes a bit of the pressure off. YMMV. Much...

I have an Alplinestars Black Label Leather Jacket for sale. I usually wear my Kevlar suit so I don't really need this. It is in nice condition with hard shoulder and elbow armor. The back has a foam pad in it, but the compartment will accept a back protector/armor if you choose to upgrade...

Great day! Thank you Eric for a great ride and food. :thumbup:

That will work well. I am on late nights this week so I won't be able to call until Wednesday afternoon. 0800 should give us enough time get on the road by 0815. It is a very nice ride up there, but it was cold last time...forgot my windbreakers.

Thanksgiving moved from Friday to Thursday so I can come as well. I plan to twist the throttle at 0815 up route 206/601, arrive 1015-1030.

Even thought we didn't hit the winding roads, lunch was great and I am glad to see that you were able to get it fixed simply. I guess 5 years is a good life for a battery, but too bad there isn't any warning. I did take 601 back down south and it was much more enjoyable than the first leg of...

Sounds good, easy enough to get to and I can fill up then. Probably leave closer to 0830.

1030 is perfect. I'll leave at 8 and fill up before I get to the meet.

NJ/PA sounds nice. I should be able to make it provided I don't have to work too late Friday. What time are you thinking? It is about 2 hours up by way of 206.

My friend is looking for a street triple and they are hard to find (R models) for less than $7800 - $8000 used (even a couple years old); they hold resale well. It took me a while to sell my 2008 FZ6 with about 13000 miles and I only got $4000. Considering the hassle you will save with a...

Hi Yasko, I would recommend this mount for your RAM. It has a very small footprint. If you do get it, don't torque it to the 17 ft lbs. that is recommended for the handlebar mount as the RAM is aluminum and will crack (DAMHIK). Just install it and tighten it down. I'm sure you will like it...

I've just been through a boot search and settled on Sidi ST. I liked the Gaerne GP1 better as a boot, but it pinched my ankle bone. Considering that those Icons look like just over the ankle, you may like the Sidi Apex; no buckle to dig in. Though maybe it would be similar value/more comfort...

+1 on option #2 However, the tuning fork logo in your picture is for Yamaha music. The Powersports logo has the tuning forks extend to the edge of the outer circle. I would do option 2 and add the tuning fork logo to the tank :thumbup:

I'm looking at getting some of these for camping off the bike. Can't decide between the 20 or 30 as the base though. I think their idea is for you to remove the bag by taking the alloy buckles out of the underseat loops, leaving nothing on the bike but the little loops. But if you are going...

If you really want it painted, your best option would be Rust-oleum Metallic Engine Enamel, Blacknight, 260750. It is practically an exact match to the frame. I also used it to paint oil filters with excellent results. Purchased at Autozone. Light scuff of the washers should make for good...

**************SOLD*************Since I sold my FZ6, I have a set of brand new, never installed Motivation Frame Sliders for the FZ6, 04- Just never really got around to installing them, just the faintest marks from lying in the toolbox. These are $78.99 shipped online. As they are unused, I...

Here is a copy of what I posted in another thread, How to: Replace Stator (Generator Rotor) Cover : Yamaha R6 Forum: R6MessageNet : YZF-R6 Forums I just replaced the cover and the only difficult part is removing the bolts holding the stator (the inside torx bolts). I put the old cover on...

I am guessing that the Manufacturers design their stuff with the most restrictive state in mind. Now we know which State :ban: to blame for most of the lackluster stock offerings in turn signals. I'm pretty sure there is another State :ban: that requires the blinkers be at least 8" from the...

Hi FIZZER6, I just used 1500 grit wet sandpaper and wet sanded them. I wax on/wax off a little metal polish (Blue Magic) afterward to help keep a barrier on them. You could also use fine steel wool. The sandpaper/steel wool are really doing all the work, so no need for polish until done. I...
