quite correct...I'm not sure if I'd still have some if I didn't run the 190 rear tire....but it doesn't bother me...I went fast, had a great time, and learned loads!
I think the extra grip at the rear has definitely improved drive out of corners, and it is definitely easier to get on the gas quicker.
:thumbup:
you could just be having more confidence with a new grippier tire so you push a little harder That's what happened to me...i just had more confidence in the bike itself.
Cool Wolfman, I'm glad it worked out. Did you end up backing off the preload on the fork? Or was most of the problem the worn tire?
BTW...love the new avatar! :rof:
My eight year old is a Star Wars nut, we watched the new Clone Wars cartoon twice this weekend, and he saw your avatar, \\"Dad why is the Storm Troop going poo???\\" \\"Uhh, well you see son...it's...uhh...the Force, yeah the Force.\\"
I think you've already achieved that!
I hope I didn't come across as a Dig on ya for the R6 comment because that wasn't intended. That was my way of simply calling myself LAZY!
I'll be keeping my FZ6 for a long time as well. But, I DO intend to add another ride to the stable at some point. I think I'd like a total touring bike but I'd also like a really hot cruiser like the Raider too!
i remembered this post the other day....how things change ever so quickly.....will be keeping my FZ6 for a long time...LOL, how's your new FZ1 treating you buddy?
:thumbup:
Holy memories Jamie!
I didn't think I'd trade and I really did surprise even myself. What drew me to this one is the fact they got rid of the Gold forks. This bike looked so much like my FZ6.
She is treating me like a King! Tons of power when and where you want it and the few mods I've done thus far have taken her to a whole new level. After the TB can, the airbox mod and the AIS block off, she really woke up in the mid-range and there's no more of the popping. And cornering? She just drops right in without any effort and I haven't had her give me the sickening feeling of running wide on exits. I haven't even tuned the suspension yet for my size. Can't wait to dial her in!
How's that cup bike? When is your next track run? You need a video man to put up some footage of Wolfman Racing!
LOL - heard that before. The only time you finish modding is when you sell for your next project.:thumbup:
Yeah and Look! He then tells us you there's not much more he could do to the bike afterward accept maybe carbon wheels! LOL! LOL! I mean I think Maybe Yamaha should just make the "Wolfman FZ6" model.
Jamie,
Hope you're healing well and good luck on your new mods.
