Hi guys, So today I had my bike hit in the parking lot and it ended up doing a lot of damage. It broke my windscreen, upper fairing in multiple parts, brackets for the mirror and inside fairing on the left hand side. I am looking for options for replacement as this is too much for just gluing...

This last weekend I took a trip to visit my friend and help him fix his bike. Approximately 210 miles each way. On my way up (after a preride check of the bike with chain tightening and lubing of course) I started noticing a strange feeling coming from around the chain area. I racked my...

Just saw this post and thought I should join the club :D Just over 55,000 with a 500 mile ride coming up this weekend

I went the mesh method myself as it can get quite hot here in Cali. My friends all had leather jackets and said in the summer time they were blazing hot and the winter time freezing cold. So far in my four years of riding I've been very happy with my mesh gear, I can layer it in the cold or open...

Those sound great! Sounds similar to the scorpion cans I have. How much was this set up? And more pics of the pipes would be appreciated :)

I have had a few experiences with cops, only one on my bike. My first one was in my old blazer that was having some electrical issues. I pulled into a gas station to get gas and as I get out of the car I see red and blue lights flashing. So I look to see who got pulled over to see 3 cruisers...

Congrats on the new bike! When I wash mine I've used many types of soap, some car soaps as well as my soap I use for washing windows and all seem to do the job with no repercussions. Don't use high pressure water but otherwise if a bike is stored outside it is going to get rained or snowed on...

I don't know if this is your problem and because it clicks it might not be. However, it could be something worth checking. After a few months of owning my bike, it would suddenly die (normally going down a very steep hill that is a few miles long going to school) and would have to pull off the...

I got my '05 back in 2010 for $1900 and it ran perfectly with new tires and valve adjustment. It did have higher miles but it runs perfect and all the local shops are impressed by its condition. If you have patience then you can probably find a better deal. Maybe try to see if the owner would...

I have to say, with the plastics, that bike was beautiful! Don't know if I've seen a better looking one.

I have had scorpion cans since I bought my bike, and never had a second thought about them! They sound amazing and look even better :D When idling they are fairly quiet and wouldn't bother neighbors at all. They don't even both people at my house when I have left or come home at 4 in the...

If you have some questions feel free to pm me. I have helped my friend with his 97 fzr 600 and I bet there are similarities between the two that I might be able to help answer.

I constantly watch and track when my gauge goes down. When I go speeds similar to you, 80's, I loose my first bar at about 36 miles and my second in the 60-75 range. When I go speeds of 65-70 which is typical around me, my first bar goes at 44-56 and the second bar 86-94. Normally my fuel gauge...

I have the same feeling of converting from N to S if I bought a N bike too. I personally don't understand the desire for the N but that's me. I made my FZ from having a 1/4 fairing to full fairing for $300 and I've seen the upper parts for under $300 around the forums and ebay. I don't know but...

I don't know if its just me but I've tried both premium and regular and when I used regular for several tanks in a row, I got less than 42 mpg while with premium Ive gotten consistently 46-54 mpg. And that's with driving the same road to school and back on each tank
