    Plugs and sockets

    Always remember that dielectric grease WILL wash out eventually- so check it 3x per year or so. Or more if you ride in rain...

    A New Rider

    6'-2", 280 lbs here. I did drop the counter-shaft sprocket 1 tooth (15T currently), to get the gearing set for my riding style. Speedohealer takes care of the difference. Great bike & great choice! Welcome to the forum also!

    Fun with helmets...

    My poor bike now has 38,000+ miles on it. So does my HJC Helmet. Time for a new lid! Started looking around today and was shocked at the lack of choices. I'm a big guy (6'-3", 287 lbs, XXXL size), but I want some options! Here is my riding info/ preferences: 1- Flip up face. I'm a snuff...

    Engine braking (slowing the bike down) is excessive

    Is it possible the 919 has a slipper clutch?

    Anyone Have/Had A Scooter? Just Wondering...

    Someone gave my friend an '86 Honda Elite. I had so much fun riding it that he gave it to me! I had it for 3 weeks, and another buddy offered me $500.00 for it. I sold it, but kinda miss it sometimes... In 3 weeks I added 150 miles to it's odometer! And never went anywhere!

    Is my bike outdated? '08 FZ-6!

    Thanks, David! I was just looking at the Vortex Kit. The front is steel, but it doesn't say on the rear. I'll dig a little deeper...

    Is my bike outdated? '08 FZ-6!

    When my bike was new and in good mechanical shape, there were all kinds of sprocket kits out for it. Now it is 2 yrs old, has 23K miles, and I cannot find a sprocket kit to save my life? Am I missing something? I would like 15T c/s, 46T (stock) rear, and a darn chain to fit it all together! What...

    Air gauge question!

    I have 6 air gauges in all configurations. I took 3 readings on my front & rear tires with each and never got the same measurement twice! My question is: who's gauge do you use? The most consistant readings I attained was from my "low pressure gauge", used primarily for atv tires! I only want...

    Quick-Pull Throttle?

    I just checked- is 90 degree. I do not go wide open much, but it seems a long distance to travel to me. My other bikes are 90 degrees as well. I may play with this... If I find something useful, I will report! Thank you, doug

    Quick-Pull Throttle?

    Is anyone aware of a faster opening throttle for the FZ? My throttle cables are adjusted correctly, but my throttle has to rotate over 1/2 turn to reach wide open. Can't find any info on this- maybe a racing style throttle? :confused: Yes, I'm know how silly this has to sound...:spank...

    Dirtiest bike ever?

    I was caught in not one, two or three Texas thunderstorms, but FOUR! in the span of 5 hours or so. Poor Fizzer looks like it has been dragged behind a truck with no rider! Words of wisdom? Stay out of West Texas in the late Spring! Glad I had raingear... This will take a while to clean...:eek:
