idea

I have just fitted one of those cheap alarm systems to my bike, I did a proper job and made a nice power cable with loom wrap and heat shrink instead of using flappy wires they give you, I fitted it under the seat I know its not ideal but its out the way. Anyways I wanted to fit a discreet...

Given the wealth of experience/knowledge here, thought I'd see if anyone wants to weigh in. Still pretty inexperienced with regards to small-engine/mechanical stuff, but so far I've done some minor fixups of an '83 Nighthawk and a '90 suzuki dr100 (for my kid). Looking to pick up a new winter...

Hi Guys, Have a virtual pint on me, I usually keep quiet on here as I am more of a ghost but in this case I need your help, I recently done the r1 shock conversion with the preload adjuster, sent away to a suspension specialist to have it revalved to my spec 11 stone!, once fitted well just say...

I'm looking into replacing the storage compartment/mud guard under the seat (the one where the tool kit is stored). It removes from the bike fine, but the seat lock attaching to it is a pain to remove. It is held on by some "special" screws, that are probably designed to be tamper resistant...

So I'm trying to do the R6 fork mod and I got the spacers from dako81 and they looked awesome. I got the forks on and calipers swapped over only to find the spacers not being big enough. With the wheel and axle installed I still have a 5-8mm gap between the spacer and inside edge of the fork. I...

Just got a 2007 FZ6R last Saturday from CL. Odometer reads 2,300 miles and I paid $3,000 for it. What I noticed the day I bought it: -Dent in tank. -Stator/clutch cover scratched. -Matte black (was the burgundy color / chip under seat told me that). -Broken left hand controls (plastic piece...

I replaced my stock grips on my 2007 with the ProGrip 714BK and like them a lot. Much grippier and seemed to help with the vibes...slightly. I still notice hand pain and numbness after 30 minutes or so of riding. I am always careful not to death-grip the bars, but I wish there was something...

Hey guys! I need a little help. Last year, I completely disassembled the front of my 2008 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer because it was wrecked and I was thinking about a Naked conversion. Well, I decided against the Naked conversion and repaired the fairing instead. But there is this one wire...

Stumbled across the FZ6R forum through a Google search and found some post of guys plasti dipping the bottom forks black. IMO it looks pretty good. Might be giving this a try in the near future. Has anyone done this here? Bad idea? I'm a college student and can't justify spending the money to...

So I was working on the bike tonight and I was getting the fuel lines ready to reattach to the pump because I had the tank off. I looked down and next to the frame there was a random vacuum line that was disconnected. I didn't disconnect this line with the tank and I have no idea what it plugs...
