feels

Been working heavily to finish my naked conversion. Still have to get the cluster properly mounted, and I don't have any mirror on it yet, but I did run it around my block last night. Feels COMPLETELY different than when it had a full nose on it. Lots of parts will be up for sale soon.

So I noticed a leak on my front forks and used a Sealmate replica (cutout from a yogurt container) and cleaned out the seals. I believe that it was a success because after pumping the suspension (probably 45 times total) there was no more oil on the forks. Hooray! Except.. Problem: During the...

I'v been thinking about getting a new lid to replace my Caberg Duke II and I'm really liking the look of the Scorpion ADX-1. The reason I want to replace the Duke is that is feels really cramped ( I can pretty much kiss the chin guard ) it is really noisy and turbulent. Unfortunately non of my...

Hey guys, I am the lucky owner of a new (old) FZ6 S2 and it has been a blast for the last few days. I have had a few surprises though and because I am not familiar with this bike it feels a bit awkward for me. The FZ6 I have feels very different from what I rode in the past. When I turn at...

Well I love the hell out of my fz1 but I ride it everyday and its gas milage sucks even worse now that I went -1, +1 I mean its like 25mpg with how I ride and to be honest I miss my old vs from so I went and got a new one while looking at fz-09s Lol First impressions is its more comfortable than...

I feel like I have a wierd shifting technique, although it feels quite natural while I do it. I pretty much always do clutch upshifting with no clutch downshifting. The clutch engaged upshifting I feel I do because of the lack of torque I like to rev the gas alot and at higher rpms it is...

I've ridden my "new to me" 2007 FZ6 a handful of times so far in a the past few weeks. I've noticed the stock levers are pretty awkward for me. I naturally try to 2-3 finger the clutch lever, as it feels more natural, but just end up squishing the rest of my knuckles. Plus, I don't have huge...

I just got new tires put on and as I'm re-installing the wheels my chain is rubbing the top of the swing arm. I took slack out of the chain with the drop-out adjusters. There's about 1 inch from the inside wall of the drop out and the silver block around the axle. The chain feels tight but not...

I got a 2007 FZ6 with 74,000km on the clock and got to try a 2008 FZ6 with less than 7,000km completely stock. By completely stock, I mean it is even rocking the original spark plugs :) Quite a contrast with mine who is the 3rd owner and plenty of mods :P Anywho I thought to try to see how a...
