    What do you do for bike security?

    Usually nothing. But if I'm in a sketchy place I use my disk lock. And sometimes lock the handle bars. That's about it. Also if you have your bike parked in front of a curb I always push the tire right up against the curb and place the lock as close to the brake as possible. So you can't even...

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    As someone else said the fj fueling is horrible. The best way I can describe it is riding the fz6 in first gear at like 10k. Any movement you make will jerk the bike. Whether it's stopping or giving more gas. And the fj feels like that all the time in every gear no matter what drive mode you are...

    Air assist fork caps!

    Wow that's pretty amazing. Are those the stock forks? Am I reading your post right that you added valves alone without any other modifications? And one last comment..... Your bike is insanely clean! Everything in that pic is sparkling without dust dirt or grime

    Xenon HID upgrade?

    Hey there. A bit old I know. But as others said doing a full projector bixenon retrofit is the way to go. I had a dual beam light (like those in your first link) they spray light everywhere. It's a mess. It's a nice idea, but doesn't work well for incoming drivers (or even just the guy in front...

    Scorpion Exhaust Question

    Wow my scorpions must be really old because they look very different from yours and the ones in the links. Then again..... Mine aren't exactly street legal I love the sound!!! No baffles (hard to find in the US) really gets cars attention. Ohhh, and one more thing. I've noticed it backfires...

    DIY Faring Accessories?

    Well I was thinking of cutting a pocket into the front side fairing sort of like on the concours under the left handgrip And putting a usb charger in there, or two or three. Haha. It would be covered and waterproof. But wasn't sure how to ensure the water would stay out. You wouldn't use it to...

    How do I start with a dead battery?

    Totally agree with Matt. This happened to me at work last week. I left my lights on all day (my key comes out even in the on position) took off all my luggage and bump started it. I've bump started old batteries before. But not like this. I had to give it some really good speed to work at all...

    Pedrosa's spectacular Braking

    Even if the bikes did control them automatically I sure wouldn't have the guts to ever try it. That is an amazing clip. That's some skill... Or luck... Or both, but most likely skill

    Why no one will sell you the bike you want

    But this isn't a bike problem. It's just a society thing. Everyone wants bragging rights. Same goes for cars boats phones computers houses. Ok well it's not loudest and fastest in all these cases but people want the best to impress. Whether or not they need it, or will utilize it is hardly the...

    Fz6 S2 compared to 04 to 06 Fz6

    In the U.S. The engine is the same. One thing I've noticed is it is easier to find aftermarket parts for the s2 (specifically windscreens!!! Just check out the number of threads complaining about s1 screens both stock and aftermarket). The brakes are also compelling for the s2 upgrade but other...

    Why no one will sell you the bike you want

    My favorite line "So we've identified that the vast majority of motorcycle consumers here are idiots " well thanks. I don't agree with most of that article. It's just some guy ranting and being pompous as though he's transcended all other human beings and he alone sees all the problems and knows...
