Bike is now sold. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys, my wheels seem to be offset but the alignment is good. I replaced both tires about 500 miles ago myself. Obviously, I pooch screwed something on reassembly or didn't get everything aligned. Assuming all spacers/washers/bearings are in the correct location, any ideas on how to...

Bought this bag off of Amazon not expecting a whole lot. I gotta say, I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality for the low dollar investment. The zippers don't feal cheap, the material used is nice and thick, and there is some padding at the front so if it's full, it won't hurt your back...

I know most people would say that riding during the day is safer, but personally, I feel safer at night. Part of it is traffic I'm sure or lack thereof after rush hour. But part of it seems that I'd be hard to spot during the day on a dark colored bike and moving in and out of shadows and...

Stopped by the local Honda/Suzuki dealer and checked out the showroom. Still can't find anything that makes me want to trade in the FZ. If I did more touring, then certainly a FJR would be on the short list but they're so dad-gum heavy that I can't imagine them being all that fun to ride in...

I'm 6'0 with 34" inseam and size 12 feet. When I'm riding, it's darn near physically impossible for me to downshift while keeping my heal on the peg so I have to actually lift my foot off the peg to downshift. Same thing for braking as well although to a lesser degree. Those of you that...

Guys, I'm currently rocking a Bilt Cyclone which has been a decent budget helmet, but am looking to upgrade. Have my mind on two different helmets. Thinking of either the Shoei Qwest ($215), or the Scorpion EXO-1100 ($194). I like the internal sun-shield on my Bilt and think I would like...

After finding a piece of metal in my rear tire, I decided that I wasn't going to ride with mis-matched tires (some say its okay, some don't). So I did one at a time and went to CG to get them replaced. I ended up with Michelin Pilot Powers. I previously had some model of Shinkos (sp?) on...

Well, hopped on the bike to go for a ride only to discover a flat tire. Culprit was some sort of piece of metal. Anywho, can anyone point me in the right direction (how to thread?) on how to remove the rear tire properly so I can get it changed? TIA

No, not that kind of tranny! Get your heads out of the gutter people. :D When I'm coming to a stop, I try to always downshift as my speed slows. However, sometimes, I lose track of what gear I'm in and when I'm stopped, I'll, on very rare occasion (I'm getting better at not doing this)...

So I was at a gas station tonight just enjoying the beautiful Oklahoma weather and was partaking in an ice water and a cigar leaning against my bike. Then, here come two riders pulling into the station consisting of a BMW 1600 (I think, don't know my beamers that well), and a Harley Electra...

SPEEDMETAL - LED License Plate Frame - Other Add-ons - Add-ons - Accessories - CycleGear - Cycle Gear Has anyone tried one of these? I bought one yesterday when they happened to be 1/2 off for $40 as I thought it looked cool and anything to improve visibility is worth it to me. Just curious...

Is anyone getting spammed to death from Cycle Gear. I signed up for the emails and while I don't mind the occasional email, it seems as though I'm getting at least one a day anymore. Don't worry CG, you're still my go to local store for gear and stuff. You don't have to email every single...

Having started seriously riding on a Suzuki Marauder 800 cruiser, I can honestly say that to me, the Fz6 is a perfect starter bike for some. It has all the power you need for city driving and is nice and relaxed as well as extremely easy to ride with predictable handling. OTOH, it turns into a...

Was trying to change out the stock grips on my 05 (surprised it hadn't been done prior to be getting the bike). I was getting extremely frustrated because as I was trying to remove the bar end weights, I kept rounding out that stupid small hex head. I ws getting extremely mad and soaked the...

No, not that kind of tranny, get your heads out of the gutters! One thing I've noticed on my bike, is the shifting from 1st to 2nd, there's a definite clunk more so than the other gears. Is one of the nuances of this bike or do I have an issue I need to check into?

Thinking about adding some risers to make the stock bars a tad bit higher as I'm 6'0 and have to bend over a little more than I'd like to reach the bars. It's not uncomfortable, but it certainly could be more comfortable than it is. Some of it too, is that I'm coming from a 800cc cruiser and...

First off, a little backstory. Warning, wall of text incoming and cliffs at the bottom for the lazy. So I picked up the Fz6 a week ago (used) and rode it home. My previous bike was a Suzuki Marauder 800 cruiser and the weight of that bike while similar to the Fz6, is much lower to the...

Hello all. Just purchased a new to me 2005 Fz6 with 6K on the clock. I just sold my first bike or at least, what I would call first REAL bike yesterday and purchased the Fz6 to replace it. It was a Suzuki Marauder 800 cruiser. All I can say, is holy carp what a difference! I've never...
