I have had 3 nails in my rear tire since I got my FZ in July of last year (although I've been riding several years before that). There are 2 types of plugs you can do, depending on the service shop you go to. A regular tire shop WILL NOT have anything to do with motorcycles because of the...

hey I was just admiring pictures of your bike, f-ing clean man you should be proud of it.

The frame sliders I have were really simple to install and relatively cheap. I think I got them for about $70 but it was worth it. Look up Lightning Performance Frame Sliders. My bike is a 2005 but I am pretty sure they work for other model years.

This actually happens to me all the time with cuffed dress pants when I ride to work. The important thing is to not panic and simply loosen yourself first and foremost. The last thing you want to do is put yourself in a position where you are moving and cannot shift either way. I'm sure you...

For the record, the fact that you bashed his window in is bad ass! Glad to hear your all in one piece. The pub helmet is really funny too.

What ever happened with this thread? I noticed it too late to actually put in my 2 cents even though I would be down like a clown charlie brown! If it is still an open discussion or issue let me know. Otherwise, I hope everyone here got some sweet Pazzo's.

Great photo! There really shouldn't be a question as to why this won.

Allstate tried to charge me close to $2400 for my fizzer when I bought it back in July. The best rates and coverage I could find were with Country, I pay about $115 a month and it includes renters insurance for my house up to $20k. Anyone looking for new insurance I recommend Country. I used...

If you read buyer reviews of Icon stuff they say all of the models sit a little bit different and a little unusual. Sometimes their sleeves are too long, on other models the torso is too tight or too short. I like their stuff too but look out for what other buys have noticed or try to wear...

I have a lot of buddies that go to Whitewater, do you know Andrew Katte?

Yo where are you from in Wisconsin? Anywhere near Mequon?

I hope I am not being misinterpreted because I definitely don't condone douchebags (sorry) riding around in t-shirts and sandals. I just like the way the jackets would look sans embroidered flames, skulls, and other supposed "bad ass" imagery all bikers supposedly look for.

What are the opinions of Shift gear and jackets? I like how they look and the plain black on most of the jackets is what I am looking for in a new jacket, but they put these obnoxious "bad ass" graphics on the back. They have two models I like, one has a skull with a rattlesnake going through it...

I like Icon's stuff, especially their jackets. The people who hate on their stuff are the same jag-offs that rep alpinestar hats sideways and have never even ridden on a motorcycle.

I use Orange Clean, it comes in a pumice and it is specifically designed for tough engine grease, oil, and grit. Also it comes with a thick bristled brush for cracks in your knuckles and under your finger nails. You can get it at any local auto parts store. It comes in an orange bottle.

I recently removed the FZ6 stickers from the side compartments of the bike. I used goo gone and a razor blade to bring up an edge and then slowly pealed it away by hand in one piece. Just be careful with the razor blade so you don't damage the paint on the tank. Good luck.

The only time I ride Visor up is when I wear sunglasses underneath. I know this isn't always appropriate especially if you have a tinted visor, but mine is clear so I don't have to worry about swapping them out for day and night riding. I can see how you get a claustrophobic feel when its down...

I have an 05 FZ6 and I don't know if it only happens on that year or on all FZ6's but between 5200 and 6200 rpm's there is a heavy buzz of assumed engine resonance under the seat presumably from the exhaust. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else or if anyone had found a solution to...

Sorry for your loss and condolences for this terrible tragedy. There is no reason this should ever happen to anyone. Try and keep your head up even though it doesn't seem plausible right now.

It's nice to see your bike in pics in the Brew City. I am originally from Mequon so I recognize the bridge. How long have you had a fizzer?
