*SOLD* For sale is my 2005 Yamaha Fz6 with approx 24,400 miles. The bike is well maintained and mechanically very sound. Has quite a few upgrades to make it handle nicer than the stock version, along with a Givi storage for longer rides. It is fully serviced for this year with brand new (just...

So, my Pirelli Angels are almost worn out and I am out shopping for the next set of tires for my bike. Have run Metzeler Z8 earlier, long life but dull rides. Pirellis have been fun, less mileage though. Both tires have not had any issue with grip - dry or wet - for my riding style, although...

Planning a ride to Deals Gap/Dragons tail on 6/18. Tentative plan : Start from Columbus, Ohio on friday - 6/17 after 1.30PM to reach Nashville/Gatlinberg/nearby. Will be riding the `Tail on saturday - 6/18 and ride back home on 6/19. It would be great to meet new riders at the Gap, and...

I just got the R6s forks and brakes with the master cylinder/lever still attached. So, here is a question : My 05 has twin-pot brakes up front, should I use the R6 master cylinder/lever for the 4-pot calipers instead of the ones on my bike? Reasons that support the change : - Stock part...

As the title says, I am looking to improve the braking performance of my 2005 Fz6. The reason I feel lacking in the braking department was my first intro to BMW S1000RR at California Superbike school (I thought I hit a brick wall on that bike) and my friend's S1000R (the naked BMW). So, I was...

Neat idea, and execution too : Garmin's Varia radar warns cyclists about traffic they can't see

Looks like the doctor is back in business at Assen :rockon: . And a reminder for those who follow Motogp - the Race is tomorrow - 27-Jun.

My bike has this strange problem that started yesterday without warning - engine stops if I put it in gear. I initially thought it was the side stand switch, but no use even after shorting the two wires. Pulling the clutch in, I hear one of the relays click randomly, like sometimes it does...

The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 I put on the bike approx 2Yrs ago has run over 10K miles and I think it is time to change them. It has a bit of tread left(especially the rear), but I want to replace the tires at the same time and the front ones have a weird profile on them now. So, I wanted to checkin...

Another good looking e-MotorCyle IMO : Harley-Davidson

I will be riding Route 555 or The Triple Nickel : The Triple Nickle - Route 555 | Ohio Motorcycle Roads and Rides | MotorcycleRoads.com tomorrow. I will be starting from the Shell gas station at the intersection of Hamilton Rd and Morse Rd in Gahanna. Time is not yet finalized, but I am...

Last evening I set out to change the oil and spent over an hour trying to remove the oil drain bolt(I had tightened it myself - with a breaker bar :spank:). The only way forward was to get a 17mm socket and a breaker bar with extension. Out of desperation, I ran to the nearest Harbor freight to...

I need to get a new ignition lock for my bike and had a few questions before I ordered a new one: - how many amps does the ignition lock handle? I wanted to see if I could put a digital ignition on it, to be controlled via bluetooth on my phone. - if I order just the oem ignition lock, do I...

Bad news : bike knocked off by the snow mover - and it ain't snowing here(yet)!!!!!. And even more frustratingly, I am at work - and will be getting back home only in the night to do a damage assessment. The vehicle that knocked the bike was hired by our Apartment for the snow moving - so...

My car(Hyundai Tiburon,182k miles on it) doesn't start for some reason. It tries to crank, but quickly dies within a second or so. I checked the battery - even tried jump starting it, but no luck. I dont think the battery has any problem since the lights turn up without any issue and they dont...

I keep seeing more and more of these cool machines: 2015 Energica Ego Video Review - and immediately think of the following advantages they have : 1. Minimal engine wear since there are not many moving parts and there are no explosive impacts. 2. The power of the bike can be adjusted as...

The frame on my 05 Fz6 is slightly out of alignment at the steering - with the right half of the frame a slightly raised(a mm or less) compared to the left half of the frame. I do not feel any play in the steering itself because of this, neither is the steering misaligned. Is it easy to get it...

This morning, Maryland officer called to report that my bike was found in Maryland. The news came as a surprise since neither me, nor my wife knew it was stolen till he called!!!. I am out of town and just came to know that my bike was found this morning near Elkton, Maryland - about 10 miles...

Can anyone please share the specs for the bolts that come with the Givi top rack(FZ351)? I am missing the ones that mount to the frame under the plastics, and the ones that join the rack and the C-clamp near the exhaust. Thanks
