Anyone try this besides me -- I was totally delighted to see it was supported -- FINALLY. However, the video lags the sound by about 5-10 seconds? it's hard to tell. Anyone else notice this? I'm watching the full races using wi-fi. I remember watching an interview on 3G and the voice/video...

Hi all, I'm going to the Fishtail track school May 10th. I planned to take the FZ6 but I have the R6 now. But anyway, any advice on how to take that track? I went up there 2 weekends ago to observe Penguin Racing School and saw the track. I saw what they call the "bowl" and wondering...

Sorry for the delay folks. Been busy trying to get the sold aftermarket parts shipped. I hate mail order due to delays and I hope that I can reduce that delay for those who bought. I took off most of the after market stuff and traded the 2008 FZ6 (almost stock). I had a lot of fun with it...

Hopefully these prices are quite reasonable; please feel free to let me know if I'm out of line. I'm trading my bike so I put it to mostly stock last night; I'm pretty anal about things so these items are in good shape; nothing fell or crashed so they should look good mounted on your bike (at...

Hi, I've been here all week on business. But, we got done early and so I have one more day here and no work Thurs 3/25/10. What's really good to do or see around here? I was thinking of driving up the beach on 101 or maybe visiting La Jolla? What else to do? My wife would say the San...

I scored a pretty good rear wheel on ebay some weeks back (contained a used BT-016, rotor, and sprocket -- essentially just mount it up). I wasn't fast enough to get a front. Now I'm looking for a front. I keep looking at fleabay and none are around. So, what's compatible with 2008 FZ6...

Did this mod yesterday. I went with 10mm up through the fork. Here's how I did it (I'm sure there are other instructions already here but thought I'd share since my bike has no center stand). FZ1inNH originally gave me basic instructions and at the time I first contemplated this. But when...

I read in places that for cars, they use a softer suspension setting in the rain. Is this same for motorcycles? I'm trying to figure out why. From some stuff I read about cars, they just said that in rain, the cars will be going slower and don't need as much grip that a harder suspension...

I got an email saying they are selling these and they are 24.95 Euros (I think about $36). Anyone buy this before? any good? Subscribe | The Official MotoGP Website It says it includes hi-res videos of 2009 races. I'd love to view the races but $36 to view web videos sounds like a lot...

I got this late Fall this year. I had a hard time figuring out from all the reviews and photos what it really is so here's my description: Basically, you get a new visor that has pin locks installed on the ends; this visor replaces your current visor. You also get a pin lock insert -- this...

Did you'all notice that in 4th gear, your RPM is equal to your indicated speed times 100? For example, 40mph is ~4000RPM, 70mph is ~7000RPM. I tend to be in 4th a lot. So I know if the RPM is lower than what I expect, I must be in 5th; if the RPM is higher than what I expect, I'm in 3rd...

Tools: Drill and some drill bits (metal capable) about ~1/8" and smaller; I believe final size is about 1/8" Socket wrench (or any wrench that works in tight spaces) 8mm socket, 10mm, socket, 12mm socket Medium length thin flat tip screwdriver Small size phillips screwdriver 5mm allen...

Only thing I did was put a switch on the wire that feeds the headlight mod. I actually tested it yesterday and the light switched off/on. This switch is an illuminated switch (3 wires: to battery, to load, to ground; I only connected the to-battery and to-load and capped off the to-ground wire...

Hm... so I'm aware our bikes vibrate -- a lot. In fact, I remember removing my GPS because it vibrated so much on the highway, the USB power connection continued to work it's way out of the hole and I would have to keep pressing it back in. I even mounted a Formotion thermometer onto the...

I have the dual headlight mod no my 2008. I read how to install the headlight mod and see that to undo this mod I need to remove the extra wire going to the right side headlamp. Basically, I removed the right side connector from the 3 prong bulb, removed the electrical tape, removed the...

I got a few tips from REO Scorpio (Thanks!) since he installed the Scorpions recently and those tips helped me understand things even before I got my Scorpions in the mail. The tips also helped to allay my fears about swapping out my OEM muffler. I spent half an hour reading the...

I picked it up a few days ago and drove it home; as many of you know, this is FZ1inNH's previous bike. At first (i.e., 2 miles), I wasn't that excited (didn't feel like a CBR) so I kept riding; I tell you the more miles I put on the FZ6, the more I understand it and the more I enjoy it. As of...
