the only type of earphones you should be using are the ones with foam inserts that go INTO the ear. do not use earbuds
the reason why is because the foam ones actually cancel outside noise. this allows you to not only keep from damaging your ears from wind noise but allows you to keep your...
wind noise above 35mph is loud enough no matter your helmet type to begin permanently damaging your hearing
this is why california allows foam earplugs. they did the studies.
noise-cancelling in-ear foam earplugs like the shure e4c's are also good as they cancel wind noise but you can...

the fz6 is a good second bike. it's not a good first bike. you can get into a lot of trouble quickly and be well over your head. i would recommend you put at least 2000 miles on a different bike before...
a lot of it is based on where you live
progressive where i live, for a new '08 for a 33 year old with a clean driving record full coverage with 1k deductibles is 1500 a year
pretty accurate. i traded in my 2month old kawasaki vulcan on my fz6 on monday. the vulcan was off by over 10% vs. my gps. gps says i'm going 71, vulcan says 78-80. i'm sure the gps wasntn 100% accurate either

you should be mixing in a full tank of 87 every now and then
91 and higher octane gas does not burn completely unless the engine was designed for it - like most v-twins. this means that wasnt isnt fully burned is left as a carbon deposit
87 burns hotter and can actually help to keep your...
a little off topic, but isnt running only premium in a bike that will take 87 octane a bad thing? as in, the fuel doesnt burn completely and leaves carbon deposits?
best buy has been 'clearing them out' for almost a month now
pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that a $900+ gps doesnt generally sell well, let alone one that's marketed towards riders
i love mine. it really is the best thing since sliced bread. i have tunes, directions and can...
ca emissions laws prohibit any amount of gas from leaking or venting from the bike in any form. there are evaporative return systems installed in CA models
