    10% Ethanol in fuel

    I'm pretty sure that's what all the gas companies have been using here in PA, US and I haven't had any problems.

    New Shoes

    I just took a trip to the tail of the dragon in NC. I have the same tires on and they are pretty good to me. I was ripping it pretty hard and never even budged. Very good tire choice. The only thing I dont like is they are the nosiest tires I've ever had on a bike but just my opinion.

    WTF is that in my exhaust???? Could it be Piston?

    MCN: Yamaha planning 'crossplane' dynasty

    I had a 2010 R1 with the crossplane. It was a great motor with ridiculous throttle response and great power. It was amazing for twisties or just going down the highway. But it was the worst ever to live with and trying to drive it through the city is terrible. And with the firing order and the...

    New guy looking at the FZ6

    I just traded down from a 2010 R1 and to me it was the best decision I've ever made. That seems like a good price with that amount of miles. I'm 5' 7" and I don't have problems touching or moving it. My feet touch just before the arch of my foot and that's plenty to me. It's definitely a lot...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hi I'm Jesse. I live outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I have been riding since I was 18 in 2009. I just traded my 2010 R1 for a 09 FZ6, and it was the best decision I have ever made. I ride to work and I look for any excuse to just go for a ride. I do a lot of riding into West Virginia because if...
