Well, ive made it my goal this year to ride to and from work everyday the entire rideable season but we've hit a patch of some pretty wet weather. ive loaded up on all the rain gear I could ever need x2 (have a full other set in my locker at work so I dont have to lug it all back and forth "just...

Well a friend had a rear tire blowout at 100km/h this weekend so I decided to go check out my Shinko 005's. The rear is DEFINITELY ready to be replaced but the front looks pretty decent. Im a little embarassed by my 2inch chicken strips still on the sides :spank: Do I need to change both right...

Took 'er out for the first time since november thanks to another beautiful calgary chinook. However, my front brake has become very scary to use. Everytime I used it it seemed to pull the bike hard to the left (always started with the left) then hard to the right and so on until i stopped. I...

Im not looking for a windscreen that will put the air over my head, more something that allow for it to hit me in the chest (making the helmet quieter) A cut stock screen is the exact result im looking for, but the look of a short stock one just ruins the front of the bike for me... anyone...

After procrastinating for over 3 months to take the bike apart and paint it, I finally bit the bullet this week as riding season begins in a month. Only spent about 5 hours total (teardown, prep, paint and reassembly) Cant believe I didnt just do it earlier. Once its nice enough out, and I...

I do a decent amount of touring and have had my heart set on a TS seat, as the stock one is merely "satisfactory" until about 200kms and then its no longer joyous at all. I figured today, I would try something radical; wear my biking underwear on the motorcycle. WHAT A DIFFERENCE I cycle...

After an hours worth of low speed manouvering in a parking lot and locking up the rear MANY times im sitting here wondering why the FZ6 in NA never got the option for ABS? It was the only thing that made me not want the FZ over an SV650 but the $2000 price difference settled it for me and here...

Today on my 15min coffee I randomly decided to try out the Airbox Mod. I did it a little different though. I did like the way the airflow was directed with the snorkel so I didnt want to remove it, so I cut away the same as everyone on the outside, but on the inside I left the bottom of the...

Well, my budget leaves me with a few dollars left over every month so there isnt much spending money to go around now that Ive got my own place. However, I sold an old guitar amp for $200 today and am trying to decide where to invest it on my currently (brand new) stock FZ6. Im just an average...

Its a shame to say it, but yes, my first day out and I went to the asphalt. I took the canadian equiv. of the MSF course in november, got my license and bought a brand new fz6. finally had a nice enough day yesterday to go out with a friend. I had him break in my bike, and then we headed to...

This spring will be my first season of riding and my brand new FZ is currently sitting next to my toolbox at the shop waiting for snow to melt. Im trying to figure out a plan for luggage but cant come up with any solid ideas. I Dont need huge amounts of space, more for when I bomb to the...

Hey all, bought my first motorcycle at the bike show this winter and cant wait to get on it. starting to stock up on my gear so that the instant its nice enough to go out I can start practicing. Ive already bought a Dainese Lucky leather jacket but am now looking for some gloves. IMO I want top...

Me and 4 other of my closest friends have signed up for the "Ride to Conquer Cancer" and our online profile is now accepting donations! We are 5 out of shape, lazy SOB's who all feel like we it finally owe it to society to actually do something. Biking over 200kms (120 miles)in 2 days in the...

While it might sound very elementary, im just wondering how everyone here holds their throttle (on most occasions) I have bought my FZ6 as my first bike (foot of snow still on ground right now though) so I have yet to head out and start picking it up. I was taught at my training course, similar...
