Congratulations! Sweet garage! Holy cow. VT is a great place to ride on snow or road.

I try and keep an eye on things but I don't have exact intervals for maintenance. I ride mostly for commuting sake and put on two hundred miles a week (riding roughly two days a week as weather permits) Every week I lube everything I can, check torque levels on breaks...etc. I probably don't...

In the one area, the movement up and down is a tight 2 inches and that is the same measurement I made my adjustments. The rest of the chain has significantly more play. I got off the bike immediately and caged my way to work.

So, I've been paying attention to all the pre-ride checks that are suggested and making the needed adjustments as my skill allows. My chain tension is a recurring problem and I've corrected it other times but because I've only been riding a few summers, I don't have a lot of experience /...

Thanks Brother, you made some great points! I'm working on the last bit too cause you're spot on -good muscle tone will always help.

very sweet ride

Thanks much for the ideas. I'll do what I can...learned a lot as i didn't realize one could adjust lower levels.

I'm having a problems with ride comfort on my FZ6. After an hour or so on my commute, I don't want to be on the bike - ever again. My legs cramp cause there is only one position (I'm 53 years old and 275lbs). However, I wonder what others might have done to tweak the system in favor of comfort...

Its great to hear of you and your wife's accomplishment! Its hard work... and you're still working it that is AWESOME!

I love my bike too, and its fast, but racing other cagers out there...that's nuts.I have no the "need for speed" but I do enjoy all the tales of my stouthearted brother, Ride on, but be safe!

I had an uncle who loved LEDs. He's Boston born and raised and no sissy. But he had a huge ride... and it seemed to fit.

I'm glad you're okay man! And deeply appreciate the lessons this site preaches...All the gear all the time! When it's hot out and I start thinking about riding in my jeans...I just get in my car instead. The choices you made saved your life. Thanks for being a good teacher for the rest of...

I dropped my bike once in the backyard no damage. The stupid things I do always amaze me...I dropped her because I just bought a front fork lock the day before and locked her up for the night. Next morning was a beautiful day, I jumped on my bike, gently let out the clutch and rolled 3 inches...

:thumbup: Thanks for that...the hot water bottle was a masterful touch!

53 years here. bought the FZ last year good fun, but I keep the speedo under 80 and enjoy the scenery.

53 years old and started riding when I was 52. It's good fun but I keep my speedo under 80 mph and enjoy the scenery.

Love this! It's neat to see where folks a located! Nice.

did you ever consider re-shooting the pictures? They seem odd to my eye. Dry it off and find a better backdrop for your photo shoot. A picture is worth a thousand words my friend - good luck!

I had this same problem with my bike this spring. In my case my bike acted exactly as you described...dash lights up...when I turned the key a kind of clicking sound...then dead. It never happened before so I was really scratching my head. I checked all the fuses to make sure nothing was blown...
