So it's been a long time since I've been on this forum, maybe 6 months but it feels like years.
This year has been pretty nuts for me, losing 120 pounds, then almost dying driving off a cliff and rolling over in an armored truck.
hows everyone else been?
I'm selling my pair of FirstGear Textile Sport Touring Overpants, size 46". They're a little oversized to wear over your street clothes.
I've worn them maybe 5 times on the road but I now wear 38" pants so they just fall down.
Make me an offer.
After having my bike apart for 2 months, it's finally running again.
I've replaced the cam chain, guides, tensioner, adjusted the valves, and replaced the clutch with a Barnett kit.
It runs better than the day I bought it! Took it out for a spirited 80 mile ride through the mountains and...
I replaced my clutch recently, and everything mostly went smooth except for reinstalling the cover.
I've wasted 3 hours so far trying to get it installed and i think I marred up my new gasket too.
Has anyone else reinstalled/replaced the clutch cover? I can't figure out how to get the...
Started tear down on my top end and discovered some interesting things.
I had installed a manual cam chain tensioner and apparently I tightened it too much.
The cam chain had ZERO play in it, and then I discovered this:
This is the chain guide on the tensioner side, completely split and...
I recently started riding my bike to work after letting it sit for months at a time and started noticing some problems.
1. At first it wouldn't start, it would crank forever until I went wide open throttle then it would sputter to a start, like it was gasping for air. Now after riding it for...
So I was driving home from work today and then BAM. Got hit from behind, car went under me, all four wheels in the air, then shoved across the other lane narrowly missing another car head on.
New car in my future or will they not total it?
I need some cash so I'm selling my extra gauge cluster that will fit 2004-2006 FZ6.
They work great and have no damage.
I also have a wiring harness(with stripped turn signal leads) if you want it.
Looking for $200

Main fairing in red
Side fairing pieces in red

I bought this a long time ago with the intention of repainting it and installing it on my bike, but I feel as if I'll never get around to it and I need the cash more so I'm selling it to one of you for a killer price.
It is complete and comes with all the parts, axles nuts adjusters bearings...
Months and months ago I bought an 07 swingarm off of ebay with hopes to install it.
When I got it I realized it would need to be repainted before installing and I never got around to it. Now that I need money more than I need a prettier swingarm, I'm looking to sell it.
It comes with...
So near the end of a wonderful ride, I was riding up by the local country club pissing off rich people when suddenly, I looked to my left and see a baby deer running alongside me, attempting to dart out in front of me. It backed off when it realized I was too fast for it. Had I been going...
So I've done just about every mod I've wanted to do and can finally call it "finished", so I'm looking for honest opinions on what you guys think!

It looks like Yamaha has picked the winners for it's MotoGP contest
Virtual SuperSport Bike Show
Out of 11 entered FZ6's, they picked 0 as winners.
Last year they picked 4. But this year, not a single one!
I don't care so much that I didn't win, but it irks me that no FZ6's won.
I went for a pretty nice, spirited ride today, hit the local mountains and twisties and leaned pretty hard.
My foot and the pegs were dragging all day, and a few times it pushed my foot up into the shift lever, and I would go into a false neutral, and one time it even upshifted! This was a...
