Ive found the handlebars on my 09 fz6 are just too short, and when i got it, the right was bent. more than an hour of riding puts my right shoulder through hell. i will be commuting heavily soon, so i grabbed some bars off of my 1980 xj650 that has electrical problems. they are about 3 inches...
so i did a full oil change, and discovered my dumb ass has used a fram filter, and a small one at that. i imagine it got clogged and just started leaking. i have a much larger mobil 1 filter on it now, and fresh synthetic oil, and no leaks. also, i had left my bike at my dads and he had moved it...
i need the little plastic timing cover that screws in on the right hand side, also, how much for the handlebars with the end weights still in

car oils dont really like to tell you if they have any secret sauce in them, and most good brands do, as its wonderful for car engines. i use valvoline in my bike, yamalube is ****, i can notice the difference in shifting. Though idk, a tech at a dealership told me yamahas shift like **** no...
it all started the beginning of the season. I got the tarp off my bike and did some light maintenance, and noticed the oil was quite low. I had a quart and a half lying around so i topped up, thinking nothing of it, checked pressures and everything seemed to be fine, rode it about 50 miles and...
