    2008 Cobalt Blue FZ-6 9500 Miles Squeaky Clean $3,900 Annapolis, MD

    I'm putting my Fizzer up for sale... it hurts, but I'm just not going to get the chances I used to have to ride her. I bought her brand new in April 2008. Never been down and doesn't have any marks or blemishes to note. I'd say for having a bike for 4 years, she is about as mint as they come...

    Three years, still original brake fluid

    So, am I going to hell? Asking for serious trouble, etc.? I bought the bike new almost exactly three years ago and she still stops just fine. Just curious if I'm ok riding around with three year old fluid or should I get a solid :spank: and change ASAP. Thanks!

    High beam out

    So I flipped the high beam off for the first time in a long time yesterday and the sucker won't come back on. When I hit the switch to turn it back on the blue light turns on in the gauge, but not the bulb itself. The bulb looks ok, as in I don't see anything burned out or broken in there. The...

    HELP! Radiator cap?!

    So I am in the process of changing the coolant and of course I can't get past step one. I removed the radiator cap bolt, twisted it counterclockwise 1/4 of the way, and it's loose but it won't come off?? its like it's got a metal edge on each side that's locking around the top of the radiator...

    Flat!!

    So I'm coming home from the gym last night and I roll up to a light and there's a bike in the lane to the right. On a quick glance I didn't see anything in the road, and as I come close to a stop I'm checking the other bike out to see what it is and then bang, I feel/hear that I have run over...

    Well, they got me.

    47 in a 30, 2 points, $90 :(. Coming down a steep hill and then over a bridge with no cars/people in sight. I'm a very cautious rider, I don't know how this happened. Guess I just wasn't paying attention and I'm guilty as charged. Two Harley cops were sitting in the shadows with those speed...

    A handlebar gadget question

    So I'm rolling my handlebar back to get the grips a little lower and I'm having trouble getting the left and right handlebar switches to move forward on the bar. I can get the levers to move fine, and I've taken the screws out of the bottom of the housing of both switches, but they don't seem to...

    Spring is near!! Lightweight riding jacket?

    Hey all, I'm browsing online for a nice lightweight riding jacket as the spring is near! I have a Joe Rocket Sonic 2.0 leather jacket, and while I love it, I'd like to pick up something that's a little less "ready to shoot me out of a cannon-ish". So I guess something textile/mesh that's easy to...

    Dairyland insurance

    Just a note to all of those (I guess just in the US?) who have Dairyland motorcycle insurance. I just got my renewal offer from them and they want $1,300 for 12 months :eek:. Can't remember what exactly I paid them for the past 12 months at the moment, but I know it wasn't that high. It is for...

    Clutch cable rubber seal broken?

    So I was lubing the cables today and I decided to squirt where the clutch cable meets the clutch (or whatever it is :squid:) with a little WD-40, and it looks like there is a rubber seal that covers the tube where the cable runs into and then around and up to the clutch lever. I touched it and...

    Front brake pads touching rotor with no brake engaged?

    Pretty sure the front brake pads are touching the rotor when the front brake is NOT engaged. Title says it all! :rolleyes: I have been using my friends garage lately (acoustics are awesome in there) and I thought I had heard a hissing sound at times when the engine is off and I'm moving the bike...

    the center stand...

    has a rubber stopper on it! on the right side, that is, that prevents it from banging into the belly of the bike. i was filling up at the gas station the other day on the center stand and guess i let the stand whap back into place a little too hard while rolling forward to get going, and while...
