    FS: EBC FA199 Brake Pads (Front)

    I ended up with an extra set (4 pads total, does a complete brake job on the front) of EBC pads. They are organic pads, drop in fit for the front calipers on the FZ6 and a few other bikes. I paid $60 for them, I'll send them to you for $45. Shoot me an email at [email protected] for the...

    Went over to the "other side" on Sunday!

    And I like it! I got a 03 DRZ400 to ride all the trails around my area down here at Ft Rucker. Best decision ever! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A new chapter in life!

    I was sworn into the Army as a Warrant Officer Candidate on Tuesday. I'm leaving for training a couple days after Christmas. There will be lots of training in my future, I will be going to the Army's flight school this summer after several months of ground training. It should be a total of 24...

    Pics from Colorado!

    Hey gents, I've been riding my ol' FZ6 around Colorado this last week, and I figured ya'll might like some pictures. I've been focusing on the Colorado Springs area since that's where I'm staying, but next week I'm going to hit the Rocky Mountain National Park and such, so stay turned. :rockon...

    Somewhat affordable luggage racks?

    I'm looking for a rack to mount of pelican cases on. Mounting is no problem, I can work something up. It seems like the SW Motech and Givi stuff is like $200 plus for the racks alone. Are there any other options out there?

    Rolled past 60K on the clock!

    Pulled off the road, snapped a pic, kept riding. Or so I thought. Turns out my phone didn't save the pic. Now I've got 61000 miles and who cares about a picture of that? :spank: So instead I have a pic from a little multiday camping trip through Arkansas a couple weeks ago.

    WTB Inner Cowling Pieces 2004-2006

    I'm looking for the two pieces that go on the inside of the cowling, they are called the inner cowling, or something like that. I would like both, but most just need the left one. Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you got some and are wanting to part with me!

    Texas to Maryland!

    The bike is running better than it ever has, a cold front is moving in along my whole route, and I couldn't be more excited! https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213587483517847389845.0004c9281bda74a303ec3&msa=0&ll=34.687428,-87.802734&spn=10.868061,21.643066 I have no idea how to imbed...

    Man, the last month or so...

    Has been rough! First, a lady I really cared about decided she didn't want any emotional attachment any more and peaced out. Not too big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Then unexpected bills from school that I have to dispute with the school, but all the while get nasty emails about...

    So lots of people have a ticking noise...

    Could it be from the reed valves for the Air Injection system? They are located on the top of the engine and supply air into the exhaust system when idling or when the coolant temp is not up to two bars. A solenoid valve controls the air flow. I have never thought to check them, but the ticking...

    Bike miss-firing, advice?

    I had a really rough idle and I noticed some extra vibration along with a ticking noise a couple weeks ago so I pulled my spark plugs, cleaned them, and trimmed the ends of my plug leads. Totally fixed the problem until I pressured washed the bike later that day, and it started ticking and...

    Motorcycle shop! Parts and inventory at the moment. Ironically at a Kawasaki/Can am dealership, but they are good people. Cost plus 10% on parts and gear as well, ordered an EK X ring chain and sprocket set for $140! Not a bad first week...

    Somewhat of a resolution to a "ticking noise" saga

    I have a ticking noise thread on here, and I just wanted to offer some possible closure. I had some major cam chain noises and discovered that while my tensioner wasn't in the best of shape, it haven't failed and was in fact at the end of its travel. A long night of working and a new cam chain...

    WTB U shaped fairing pieces Red 06

    Title says it all gents. I'm looking to buy those two U shaped fairing pieces that the front turn signals mount into. I really only need the right side, but both would work. Small dings and cracks are fine. Again, this is for a red 2006.

    Pictures of a fender eliminator

    Anybody have any closeups of the fender eliminator that you can buy on Ebay and the like? I'm wanting to make one, but its tough to find any good pictures of them.

    Stretched cam chain?

    I had a ticking sound that sounded like a text book case of a bad cam tensioner. I pulled the tensioner off today and was surprised to see that it was right at the end of its travel. I pulled the inspection cover off and the guides didn't look like they were worn out, so that leaves the chain...

    Random engine stoppage/stall

    I wasn't really able to find what I was looking for using a search, so maybe somebody can clue me in on what is happening, or what to search for. Anyway, last night I fired the bike up and let out the clutch to take off. At about 15mph the engine just kinda ran out of RPM like it had ran out of...
