    So may have sold the FZ6

    Picked up my FZ1 a couple weeks ago so the FZ6 has been sitting around, unplated, waiting for someone to buy it. Guy came by today and looks like he's serious about buying it, going to come back tomorrow hopefully with the money. After seven years and 110k km's, don't know what I'm going...

    So... my oil level light is on

    Yaaayyyyy, there's finally some light at the end of this miserable winter. Nice 10C (50F) day here, left work early to play with my bike for the first time since November. Fired right up with a little bump start (too lazy to charge the battery over the winter...) Hopped on and took it for a spin...

    Front wheel bearing spacer seized inside wheel, ideas?

    Changing the front tire on the bike. Went to remove the front tire and instantly there was an issue. The axle bolt (I have an R6 front end which has an axle and then a bolt on the other end) was beyond seized. Took a 2ft breaker bar to break it free. Problem 2, the axle was super seized in...

    Help me electrical guru's, neutral light won't go off

    Been like this for a week now. Stays on solid regardless what gear I'm in, starts to fade after riding for half an hour, but returns strong after the bike has been sitting. Neutral switch seems to work normally as it cycles on/off in the Diag menu, and the bike won't start in gear, as it...

    Givi V35's + FAZER6 FE + stock signals = ok?

    Givi V35's + FAZR6 FE + stock signals = ok? For whatever reason, I can't find anyone that's running a FE with the V35's. Anyone know if there's enough space between the V35's for the FAZER6 FE with stock signals without having to relocate them? Thanks

    P-HOAT coolant Fizzer safe?

    Can get Hyundai coolant which is P-HOAT for free from work. Pretty sure it will work without issue, but figured I'd ask to be safe.

    Silly question, how is the headlight wiring routed on an '06?

    Rebuilding my FZ6 front end and I have totally forgotten how the wiring harness sits in relation to the headlight. Does the wiring hide behind the headlight, between the headlight and the cowling, or just outside and is hidden by the shiny black inner panels? Not the end of the world, but...

    Had a boo boo on the Blue Ridge Parkway

    On the third day of what was supposed to be a cross-country road trip, had an accident on the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Wasn't paying enough attention, went wide in a turn, and hit the shoulder. Crashed in a good a place as any, there was an ER nurse taking a break on the other side of the road, she...

    May be moving to Vancouver, can you ride year round?

    A few do it in Toronto, so I'm thinking it should be feasible in Vanouver with the warmer temps and lack of snow. Do the roads freeze overnight?

    You ever have those days when things are going a bit too well...

    Ordered a set of Pilot Road 3 tires from Motorcycle Superstore shipped to Niagara Falls, NY (no shipping to Canada). Great price, and saved a fair bit compared to buying locally, especially with the coupons I got from this forum. Drove over on Thursday evening, picked up the tires and a carton...

    Observations on altitude in relation to performance and fuel economy

    On a recent trip out west had a chance to sample some high altitude riding for extended periods of time. I figured performance would be down, but it was seriously sluggish above 10k feet. To the point where at about 11k feet, cruising at 120km/h (75mph), I was dropping speed on a slight...
