Ride like you own it..!
Hello guys,
The weather puts a smile on my face, as we went for the first ride of this year, Old US 18 and US 181; the roads are so empty, we sport/street bikers are just flying
Anyway, I have a few questions about our girlfriends.
1. Vibrations in the rear view mirrors (OEM FZ09 handlebar mirrors, not stock), tires are like new/new (rear 6k PR4 and front 1k miles PR3); but the vibes are there before and after tire change, balancing them separately.
The bike is at 12k miles now, I see a little bit of oil consumption, and I did not change the spark plugs in past 9k miles, I had her.
Just started following http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-...tion-cure-bad-vibrations-spark-plug-caps.html
and planning to get new sparks and get it fixed, any other options/solutions/problem?
2. At 40mph+ (which is steady enough) to get me to leave both my hands, the bike leans left; I thought the previous owner didn't do the tire balancing well, but I got it done, properly this time and still have this issue; When I rode Linus's bike, I felt a tiny bit(which might be wind on the freeway), but mine feels a bit more than regular(doesn't cause any problem though).
3. I found Linus's bike make a grinding sound when going from 10-15mph, with hard pull(2nd hear), similar happened with 3rd gear, at 20-25mph pull.
Scenario: I usually coast near the empty signal, waiting to turn green, as I hate to put my feet down. Sometimes, at 10 mph, I pull MY own bike from 2nd gear, with no issues, but when I did the same with his 2007 (4kmiles), I heard grinding sound from the gears. And also, his clutch is a bit harder than mine (It has been a year and I don't remember how mine was, when I got it). Can someone share their knowledge on this issue please.
Thanks in advance.
