    POS kickstands...

    My insurance guy looked at it today and said it isn't totaled but it was close. The frame, engine, all that is fine but all the body parts that are damaged added up quick. The other insurance adjuster is coming tomorrow to look at it and I'll take it to a shop Friday. So glad it's not totaled

    POS kickstands...

    So…..After getting a damaged gas tank from Parts Shark, they finally sent me a new one, undamaged. I had a bike trip planned over the weekend to PA so I put all the new parts on last Thursday and my bike looked brand new. I was so proud of my nice new bike, had a good ride and everything then...

    POS kickstands...

    I've got the same issue, I'm too short to be able to use a puck, I'd have to have someone else put it under my kickstand or pick it up for me. I usually leave it in my husbands saddle bag. I think this winter I'll have to weld a longer, wider foot onto my kickstand in the mean time I'll just...

    POS kickstands...

    The new ones should come painted, I just called this dealer yesterday and they said the tank that has "SMX" in the part number is the metallic black and it is factory painted. The other tank is the blue one. The black tank is listed as FUEL TANK COMP. UR FOR SMX 5VX-YK241-30-P3 and sells for...

    POS kickstands...

    I have a little metal puck I use on gravel but have always thought blacktop was safe. The driveway is old but in good shape where I parked, I think the rain did it cause it wasn't too hot yesterday. I don't think the stock kickstand would work, I've got a Soupy's lowering link and a Hyperpro...

    POS kickstands...

    I had a little accident this morning with my FZ6, well kind of. My bike has the Soupy's Performance lowering kit with the adjustable kickstand and I've hated the kickstand ever since I got it, can't park anywhere because the foot is too small. I had my bike parked on my black top driveway last...

    Code 46 Power Supply to system

    I've been having the same issue with my bike flashing a code 46 since some time last year. I installed a new battery last year and still have the same issue. It seems like it's not as bad, the engine light will only come on once or twice for a few seconds then not show up again. Last year it...

    Check engine light on

    Think I'm going to just order a new battery and try it in a few weeks since I'm leaving for a 3 week trip to Colorado on Saturday I won't miss riding any. Don't want to risk damaging the stator. Any recommendations on a good brand of battery?

    Check engine light on

    I reset the code history, cleaned battery and wiring harnesses, and checked the charging system. The battery load tested at 8 vdc so I definitely need a new battery. The charging system at 5000 rpms was only charging at about 13.4 vdc. The stator wires were all reading 26 vac, not sure if...

    Check engine light on

    Just got back from another, longer ride. The light took awhile to come on, when it did I noticed that the temp reading on the screen went from about 168 (normal) down to 111. It never got above 120 (f) the whole ride back and the check engine light stayed on most of the time unless I came to...

    Check engine light on

    I went on another short ride last night and the light came back on twice. Each time it only came on for a few seconds then off. Still did not notice any performance issue with the bike. I tried getting into diagnostic mode by pressing the select and rest buttons, then turning the key on and...

    Check engine light on

    I was on my way home from work today and noticed that the check engine light was on but the bike had no obvious problems. I rode a good 20 miles or so and no problems. The light only went off when I came to a stop and would then come back on and stay on after the engine got above 4000rpms...

    Black smoke out exhaust when first started

    Well I called and talked to the tech working on my bike, he basically said the exact opposite of what the other guy had told me the day before. Said he didnt think anything was wrong with my bike and that it was just condensation when first started. They did a dynotune and I'm supposed to pick...

    Black smoke out exhaust when first started

    Well I took it to the shop and they think it's something serious like a cracked piston ring or leaking valve seal. I do not think it's that serious but I told them to do a leakdown and compression test and also adjust the valves (it's about time anyways) It's weird about the same time this...

    Black smoke out exhaust when first started

    It only does it when cold, never on a hot start. Think I mite have it remapped this winter when I have time to take it in to the shop

    Black smoke out exhaust when first started

    I've been noticing my bike emits a black smoke out the right side exhaust pipe when first started. It gets worse if you give it throttle right away but the smoke completely goes away after about 3 minutes. I've also noticed that it's a little burnt around that same pipe but the other side is...

    Halo projector headlight issue

    I found out what the problem is, The "H4 light controller" box has a crack in the housing by the terminals. When I put pressure on it the halo light on the bad side partially lights up. Anyone know where to get this part?

    Halo projector headlight issue

    It may be tucked up in there somewhere, if it is it's hidden really well. Need to check later when I have time. Has anyone tried installing all the components/harnesses into a small project box before? Whoever originally installed mine didnt seem to care much for neatness looks like miles of...

    Halo projector headlight issue

    Still cant seem to figure it out, I can't find a manufacturer or model anywhere except a bunch of Chinese and "H4 projector light controller." The converter and ballast on each side dont have anyway of disconnecting them from each other without cutting wires so it dosent look like I can rule...
