Just wondering how everyone up shifts. I had mentioned how I up shift (cluctched from 1 to 2 and then clutchless from 2 to 6) and got a few odd looks.

Just curious due to another thread.

Anyone know of or have had experience with these yet? Motorcycle Seat Pads Cushion Butt Buffer | Gel Cushions For Sale Looks a bit promising for a low cost seat enhancement. Just like to hear from other sport bike riders rather than cruisers on whether they work or not. Waffles

Well this should be fun. I am going to do an on going study of what will give me the best fuel mileage with my 05 FZ6. I currently have a -1/+2 mod that some people have said will hinder my fuel mileage, while others say it will not differ. This experiment will not count my play days...

I have been tempting to use an earbud while commuting. I can not use two due to Washington laws, but I can still use 1. Has anyone figured out a decent set that works well against wind-noise/has decent sound quality?

A couple years ago I changed my sprockets to a 15-48 with a 520 chain. I absolutely loved it and still have that ratio today. Recently with a new job, new home, and some other commitments, I have a 90 mile a day commute. I am thinking about trying to reduce my fuel cost/consumption by riding...

Hey, I got lucky and Will be coming across the Atlantic this summer. I am hoping that one of you guys might be able to help me out. I am wondering if is possible, or even legal, to rent a motorcycle in the UK and do a day trip around the island. I can only imagine that this ride would be...

Since it is apparent that it is not as unusual as I previously thought, I would love to find someone to trade a FZ1 for my FZ6. I have a beautiful '05 FZ6 with all the mods below. The greatest thing about the bike is that it only has 6000 miles on it and is has never been down or ridden...

I went on a ride today with some locals via another forum. Everything started alright, the leader promising to do some strait "boring" riding and then some heavy twisties on the way back :thumbup:. I trudged away with these 5 people, 3 of them doing wheelies (HIGHLY illegal here in...

Has anyone gone through and blocked off their AIS system? I am planning on doing so for I am one that doesnt care to listen to the decel pop I currently have. (In case any one does not know: AIS (Air Induction System) is an emitions system that adds air into the exaust to ignite any unburnt...

Here it is guys RULES: One picture per item. If you have two items in the same picture, note what one is it fulfilling. Creativity is key. In the event of a tie, the more creative pictures will take the prize. The pictures have to show exactly what is asked, not a variant. If a...

Well, sadly, there is not one..... UNTIL NOW! I will be creating one here shortly (should be ready before the upcoming weekend) that will be done. This one will be difficult, being specific on what is needed. ALTHOUGH: if you can create a loophole in the needed image, it will be counted...

YOU DID IT WRONG!!!! OpenDNS

Well I just did an 'advanced' motorcycle safety course that you use your own motorcycle with. Turns out our instructor was also a FZ6/1 rider and fan. Well after going through the day he had asked me how long I had been riding for. This was apparently for he though I was in "too low of a class."...

Met some new friends on this fine Western Washington day. Took some back roads all over and (for the people around here) got to ride on HWY 7 for the first time this year. I love a 5 mile stretch of HWY 7 for it is just so damn fun. I have a video of the good part. I like it so much i wait for a...

Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot. I have yet to see, for quite a while, any new scavenger hunts. Anyone know if there will be more? I like them for it gave me a little more incentive to go on some new roads instead of just the tried and true twistie routes around here. Travis Walthall

I have an odd question. I have been trying to answer this question for a while with the use of the internet with little success. I am trying to figure out what octane to use. I was using 87 when my FZ6 was stock with no problems. I added the scorps on and I had went to a 92 octane due to the...

hey guys, hello again for those who remember me, whoo hoo for being back in college. Anyway, I finally had a decent day about a week ago so i fired my silver rocket up and did a light run. I noticed something that I did not notice as much, engine popping, especially during heavy decel/engine...

I am having a noticeable engine popping when i get off of the throttle and the engine starts to brake. It stops instantly when i get back on the throttle. I have been told it is due to me having an aftermarket exhaust (scorpion). First, Is this true? Would the popping be caused from a low...
