I had a new tire put on my bike yesterday and my Japanese mechanic was amazed that my bike has almost 60,000km on it and the chain and sprockets have little wear (originals), the suspension hasn't had the oil changed, the brake pads and spark plugs have only been changed once, and the bike is...

While riding over here has it's dangers (cagers from hell), there are definite perks (speed cameras shoot only the fronts of vehicles). I had yesterday off so went for a nice trek. If you ever have a chance, come for a ride here. Thursday Twisties - Motorcycling trip | EveryTrail

My buddies and I found this on the road yesterday while out in the mountains. It looks as though he came out of the previous corner a bit off and wasn't lined up for the next. He braked but couldn't bring it to the left enough after and went right into the drainage trench. Luckily he was going...

I installed a pair of Leos last month and now see how much dirt the original exhaust prevented from getting on the seat release mechanism and the under-seat storage compartment. I was wondering if anyone has found a solution. Perhaps fabricating some sort of cover? Only driving on pristine and...

I went riding with a buddy on Saturday. Stopped at a familiar tourist spot on the way home for some lunch. I live in South Korea, so we have lots of people coming to check out tours of the DMZ between the North and South. Locked my helmet on the side of the bike and went to eat. Tons of foreign...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Rev'it Rival boots - REV'IT! - Homepage I've had the Rev'it Apaches and loved them. I'd have to order in the Rival boots from outside the country so I can't give them a try beforehand. Also, anyone have any experience with the Rev'it Laser...

How often do you use your horn? I didn't think I used mine that often, but I was hit by a taxi a few weeks ago and I'm still waiting on some parts from Japan, one of which is a new horn. I've been out driving a few times now and fully realize how much I use my horn. In Canada, I'd rarely use it...

My baby is in the shop right now after I was hit by a taxi on the way to work last week. Yesterday was I holiday so I got a loaner from the shop and went on a day trip with some buddies. It was a nice mix of high speed highways and twisties, and even sicker mountain switchbacks. The shop only...

This was the second time I've gone down and I have to say if it weren't for the sliders, the damage both times would have been much greater. I was driving to work Tuesday morning on a multi-line road through the city. I was in the right-most lane and there was a taxi slightly ahead of me in...

Went for a nice ride out to the DMZ today, parked the bike, grabbed a coffee, and was walking up the stairs away from my bike. I looked back over my shoulder at my bike and thought "Damn, that is a hell of a sexy looking machine." :thumbup:

I often go cruising with my buddies in the mountains. One fella has a Aprilia 750 Shiver (naked), another has a Honda Steed (600cc cruiser), and another has a Suzuki Boulevard (800cc cruiser). The cruisers have no problems keeping up, except when we get into the wickedly twisted mountain...

It finally happened yesterday. I came around a mountain corner a little too quickly and the corner turned more sharply to the left than I have anticipated. I was wide around the corner and then saw the gravel spilled on the road from an intersecting road. I put on the brakes to straighten up...

I've spent hours reading through this forum and I think that the advice and info hear is awesome. :rockon: I've had my FZ6 for about 4 months now and was wondering if my throttle situation is normal. I took most of the slack out of it, so it only has a few millimeters (recommended amount) of...
