    Strange Electrical (?) problem

    Thanks again for your replies, guys! I did the load test Townsend. While cranking the lowest voltage I saw was 10.6v I also checked connection on the regulator/rectifier, thanks Motogiro. I don't know why I always forget to check the simple stuff first on bikes. It's definitely over-volting. I...

    Strange Electrical (?) problem

    Thank you all for the replies! I made some progress but I think I will need to take it all part and do some more testing when I have some more time. The insulator was not caught in the connection and connections were tight. I tested voltages Cold Engine: 12.5 - 12.79v Idle: 13.6 -...

    Strange Electrical (?) problem

    I have a strange problem occurring on my bike. For about a month now my check-engine light has been coming on. At first it would only come on for a few seconds when travelling at highway speeds. These days it comes on most times I ride. The bike's performance remains the same it has always...

    Help: Testing Relays

    My problem continues. I'll give a quick run-down on what I've already done/tested. Error code 19 persists. It is intermittent. I can always get the bike started given enough tries. It usually takes 3-5 tries now. I have had the bike shut off while in motion twice so far. Both times occurred...

    Help: Testing Relays

    Hi guys, For the past few weeks I've been having some starting issues with my bike. It's error code 19. I've already removed, cleaned, and continuity tested my side stand switch. My next step is to test my starting circuit cut-off relay. However, since my electrical knowledge is limited, I want...

    What is your helmet color?

    I've had a Shoei RF-1000 for about 5 years. I went to Cyclegear today to try on some new helmets. I've been planning to get a new one sometime near the end of the year, waiting for prices to drop a little on the newest Shoei lineup. Specifically I went to try on the RF-1200, Qwest, and GT-Air. I...

    FZ6R handlebars: drill needed?

    I rode about 650 miles yesterday with the fz6r bars. No wrist pain aside from fingers getting stiff. I had a cramp buster but it was only useful for a few seconds at a time to rest my fingers because it's hard to keep it from slipping around. I will be doing the same ride backwards again on...

    FZ6R handlebars: drill needed?

    I can confirm what kilgore said. Hole is already present on the FZ6R bar. Swap was quite easy. My only issue was I twice tightened down the clamp before I had gotten all the controls on both sides. I don't know what I was thinking. Everything feels a lot better already I just need to adjust the...

    FZ6R handlebars: drill needed?

    Ah that's true about the consistent fitment. I didn't think about that. In that case I guess I'll just cut it off since drilling adds quite a bit of time for me.

    FZ6R handlebars: drill needed?

    Yea I've seen that method but I'd rather keep it as stock as possible. I can drill it if necessary but it just means I will have to go buy the drill bits beforehand because I don't have any other transportation to go to a store once the bars are off.

    FZ6R handlebars: drill needed?

    I just got an FZ6R handlebar to put on and after reading other threads with FZ1 bars, renthals, etc most people seemed to need a new hole drilled for the throttle mount. Is this necessary on the FZ6R bars or is the hole that is already there in the correct spot?

    *Negative* effect of switching to a taller screen.

    One thing I've noticed since switching from my Ninja 250 to my FZ6 with Puig Racing screen is that I get a lot more stuff stuck in my eye. All I can guess is that dirt and stuff is getting pushed right up in to my face whereas before it would hit more near my chest. Also, I know how you feel...

    What is your helmet color?

    I actually didn't like my helmet very much at first but it was all they had at the shop that fit me. It's grown on me over the years. I love it now.

    250r to FZ6 observations

    Luckily my wrist pain is only on my right hand. It's a combination of having to keep a tighter grip in order to turn the throttle and having it all twisted sideways. As for the seat, I've looked at a few different seats like Top Sellerie, Corbin etc but I'll wait until my ass is sore after my El...

    250r to FZ6 observations

    After riding today I think this is definitely the cause. I'm now looking for a cheap FZ6R handlebar. Seems they are in high demand so I might just have to buy some off of a parts site. I might try getting larger diameter grips to deal with my finger cramping. After reading around on here I also...

    250r to FZ6 observations

    I just bought an FZ6 and have only put about 50 miles on it so far around town and on the highway. I thought I'd post some observations coming from a 2009 Ninja 250r to the 2007 FZ6. 1. The FZ6 feels super planted! I think it's mostly the suspension difference since my 250r has some...

    FZ6 Riders Show us your baby!!

    Weeeee! Just got my FZ6. my 250r in the foreground, selling it. Can't ride it much yet cause I need to get plates. Also I need to get a new front tire on because it's kinda wonky. It's worn down but the middle seems bulbous like maybe too much air pressure? It's a whole different beast though...
