My first calculated tank on the FZ6 was 37mpg... a little disturbing but I had ran some SeaFoam in the tank and it was new-to-me at that time. A week later I got 46. My current tank is at 170 miles and will likely show 50+. That being said my previous bikes averaged: Ninja 250 - would...

I can't see the pics on this PC but I would like to chime in and warn you, if no one has yet... road rash hurts, yes, absolutely... but the worst part is the itching that comes when it starts to dry out! :eek: Do yourself a favor and keep lotion over the scabs as they heal or go the extra...

SOB!! I actually own one of these that I have never used yet.... Form-A-Funnel® Flexible Draining Tool

I wouldn't let it deter you at all though. Clunky or not, it's a fun, reliable, comfortable bike... and as stated - bring the revs up a little and time it all just right and it's decently smooth. Of course, commuting on it at 6am I find myself shifting at like 4-5k rpm and it's not smooth...

The filter was a piece of cake. The only complaint is the bike was too low on the side stand to put a normal catch pan under it... and the centerstand was in the way to put the catch pan under it. I ended up using a small bucket to catch the old oil and just dealt with the mess left on the...

FWIW - I went to local O'Reilly's looking for Purolator - they don't carry them but I noticed they do carry WIX which I think is highly regarded and I tend to prefer that brand actually. He crossed the Purolator # PL14610 to a WIX #51356 for $7.99. It was a tiny bit smaller in diameter than...

Thanks. The oil change is straight forward? No tricks or weird tasks involved? Drain, remove filter, install new filter, put drain plug back in, fill w/ oil? I have owned several bikes and never had one that was that straight forward, hoping that's it. lol My KTM takes almost 2 hours...

I started on a Ninja 250 - I never thought it was very clunky... I didn't know any better. Friend of mine started at the same time on a Buell Blast... NOW THAT IS CLUNKY. So my next bike was a Vulcan 900 Custom... silky smooth. After that, KTM Duke 2 - a 625cc single cylinder - if you...

I need this same info - wanting to change the oil tonight before a long weekend out riding! Thanks

Check the ECU harnesses or ICM harness for bent pins/burn pins. I have a '94 Z28 that I have been chasing the same random stall issue for years... finally found the issue by wiggling the ECU harnesses while the engine was running. The awesome GM engineers put the ECU's in these cars right...

How quickly can you get it to me in 41042? I'm very interested.... would be lovely to put it on Thursday evening for my Friday morning ride to Indianapolis for MotoGP! Just curious. I'd probably still take it either way so long as it fits an '04.

Pics of what is exactly drilled out and condition of tips? Thanks

Here's my 250: Here's the Vulcan: The KTM:

Hello all, John or "Skeet" as my friends call me stepping into about my 9th forum.... lol Little background - Been riding 4 or 5 years now. First was an '01 Ninja 250 got me started. I almost clobbered my mailbox on day 1. Had never been on a bike, even a dirt bike. Put 8k on that...
