Just wanted to say thanks. I have an FZ6, sorry for the confusion. I went out this week with a tire pressure gauge...I had 16 lbs in the front and 23 in the back. Luckily my stupidity didn't kill me this time!

I have an 06 FZ1 with about 4000k on it. I ride a few times a week, mostly commuting. I've changed the oil twice since I bought it new in 2006, and cleaner and lubed the chain every few months, but other than that I haven't really done anything to it. I realized the other day that I've never...

The paint on one of my side mirror arms has started to chip away and leave the bare metal showing. Has this happened to anyone else, and can I just take off the arm and repaint it?

So I went ahead and started to check a few things. I turned the bike on for a minute or so and then sprayed water on all of the exhaust pipes one at a time. It quickly burned off all of them except the far left pipe (clutch side). I turned off the bike and started to take out the battery and...

Thanks, I'll have to run through and do all the checks suggested. I never use a pressure washer, I have a wet rage and a dry rag, wax on wax off style. I try to never have any water near the bike. It definitely wasn't there on the test ride, and I ride regularly, which is why this is such a...

So I brought my 2007 FZ6 out and cleaned it how I always do, wipe with a rag and then dry immediately section by section. I fire it up, drive around the block then put it back. I get up this morning, and suddenly the engine is making an odd puttering sound. Usually when I rev it is a smooth...

I have a cover...I keep it at my house, and I cover it everynight, its more when I use it to run errands. If it sits in the sun for more than 30 minutes I'm screwed! haha.

I must confess that I don't always wear proper riding pants, they just aren't practical with how much I ride. Yes, my main issue is the sun, if I park in the shade its fine, but in the sun...water will steam off almost as soon as it hits the seat! I might try the small towel under the...

Hmm doesn't seem like there are any easy fixes...carrying around a cover would seem a bit impractical, and I use mine for a lot of daily comute so always wearing riding pants would be an issue. Anyone ever seen a cover made of neoprene or something similiar? I think something like that in a...

I'm about to enter my third summer down in FL and i always struggle with how hot my seat gets in the sun. I often park extremely far from where I need to be just to find even a leaf's worth of shade. Has anyone come up with any sort of solution to this, other than throwing a white towel or...
