    K&N Oil Filter Recall

    I rec'd an email today regarding the recall of K&N Oil Filters models KN-204 & KN-204C manufactured between March 2016 thru September 2016. Apparently some have exhibited leaking at the nut welded on the top for easy removal. Fortunately for me, I either didn't get one in that range or...

    Do you use a pinlock on your helmet?

    I had a heck of time with my Shoei fogging up last winter and decided to buy a pinlock for it as it was 44 degrees this morning, so fall is on the way. In reading the instructions (yeah, I know, shame on me :spank:), I noticed it says to periodically remove the pinlock so the silicone doesn't...

    Who are you and what have you done with my wife?

    I have two bikes, an '08 Tuono with aftermarket exhausts (Akrapovics) and an '07 FZ6 with stock exhausts. So I come home the other day from work on the FZ6 and walk into the kitchen from our attached garage, scaring my wife. She says "I didn't hear you come home!" I explained that my Yamaha...

    I've got the bug

    I traded my VStar in on a '07 FZ6 and was perfectly happy with it being virtually stock. Then I found this forum. I've since ordered a wheel chock, rear wheel lift, frame sliders and a PUIG windshield. And I'm drooling over the headlight mod so many of you have done ("No, I don't have a...
