    Not my shame. but I'll share

    So yesterday, Hubby & I decided to play hooky from work. (I fibbed I had a medical appt - bad idea) It was our baby's 20th birthday. He doesn't have class on Friday this semester, so we decided to invite him along for a birthday ride. We were about 5 miles into the twisties. This is my son's...

    04 FZ6: Jerky 1st & 2nd gear engagement

    Hey everyone, I've had an 04 FZ6 for 3 years, and replaced the clutch cable when I bought it. The cable frequently loosens bit by bit with time, and I need to adjust it every few weeks or so. Very often while easing out the clutch and rolling on the throttle, the bike feels like it jerks or...

    What's with all the all-digital instruments?

    It seems like almost every manufacturer is moving over to strictly digital instruments. I'm wondering if it's because they're cheaper and easier to install than those with an analog tach? The digital tachs are difficult to read at a glance (especially in sunlight), and I find myself using them...

    Dies after putting into gear

    My bike has this strange problem that started yesterday without warning - engine stops if I put it in gear. I initially thought it was the side stand switch, but no use even after shorting the two wires. Pulling the clutch in, I hear one of the relays click randomly, like sometimes it does...

    Renting vs buying racesuit, what would you do?

    Hi guys, This might be a very odd question..! I just started riding, like to go for long drives, twisties if possible, and occasional (call it very rare) track days. Should I buy the Tracksuit and boots worth 800-1000$ (I'm buying for less off of craigslist) or rent them 50-100$ per day at...

    Today I Learned...

    My bike actually has a 6th gear. I've been riding for a couple of weeks now mistakenly thinking it somehow jumped through 5 and 6 after failing to shift into 6 a few times. I figured it out - and well, I've got a sixth gear just like they told me! (Couple of rides into Toronto and back in fifth...

    gearbox knocking under acceleration.

    Hi all, So my bike has very rapidly developed a loud knocking sound whilst accelerating under load. I can't replicate this with the bike in neutral, or running it in gear on the stand. I was hoping someone has experienced this before and worked out the cause.

    Spinning grind then clunk from neutral

    A similar thread was just posted but I'm having the same issues simply from when the bike gets started in neutral and put into first gear. It's almost like putting it into gear without using the clutch. There is a grinding spinning sound then clunk, it's in gear. I pull in the clutch and my...

    Do you ever coast in N at higher speeds? Trans clunk hard when shifting back into 2nd?

    Sometimes I goof off and want to relax my hands/ back/ shoulders when I'm approaching a red light an eighth of a mile away and there is no one behind me, riding up to it with no hands on the bars. Or I just want to coast without engine braking/ holding the throttle open. :rolleyes: Sometimes I...
