On the way home form work the other day, I noticed the front tire coming off the ground a little when accelerating in turns, especially uphill. I should have checked it out, but didn't. I rolled it out of the garage yesterday AM, as usual, and kept thinking it was harder to push... Fired...

Yep, I'm revisiting this topic! I knew the buzz came from the clutch cable, so that's where I started. I went over it yesterday while at the fire station, since we were not running a ton of calls. The first area I went after was the top elbow right off of the lever. I removed the end of the...

I got home from school this evening and after checking e-mails and eating some sushi, I really felt like riding! All work and no play, you know... I gave Ajeets a call, since he is a member here and has an '08 FZ6 and also a buddy of mine from paramedic class who also rides to see if they...

Hey all, A few friends and I are going to start a GA chapter of the EMS Angels motorcycle club, and it got me thinking: How many EMS personell are here at the FZ6 forum? If you're interested, check out this link: EMS, EMS ANGELS MC , MOTORCYCLES, EMERGENCY, LACONIA, ANGELS, DAYTONA...

... and I was impressed with a couple things: (it's a 2000,) 1. It has a tank stand, like under the hood of a car! Pretty fancy. 2. Hydraulic clutch, I like 'em. 3. Ducati paved the way for the naked bikes, and we can thank them, even though they can be tempermental, like many "products"...

I rode from work to school this AM, and had a blast, of course. When I got to the school's parking lot, notorious for being full early, I spotted a blue motorcycle in the front half of a spot. I rolled in to park behind it, with plenty of room to spare, and when I got off mine, I saw that his...

I was wondering if one can drill 3/8" or so holes in the OEM muffler baffles that you see inside the stock mufflers without having to adjust fuel injection, etc. Can it be done without having a check engine light come on? Anyone done it? I'd sure like a louder set of pipes without having...

I passed 1,000mi, so it was time for the second and final break-in oil change. I also "did it", (uhuhuhuhuh...) in another way: I went over to synthetic. I found Rotella-T 5w 40 AND purolator PureOne filters at a PepBoys, and when I finally had a break from running calls, I set to work...

went out Saturday morning after a Medical Emergencies final exam, and began my two week break with a ride up into the mountains. For those in GA, this will sound familiar. I went up I-985 until it turned into Rt.365, and then hung a "west" into Clarkesville on Rt.197. After getting through...

Well, I got a 2007 FZ6 just yesterday, and holy crap. This is the first street bike I've ever owned, but I can already tell I need look no further for a great bike. This thing handles like a dream, and has great power in almost any situation. Not bad for a detuned R6 motor! I do find...
