I'd check the cable before you go about tearing your clutch assembly apart. I've only ever heard complaints about the cable on the FZ6.

Heya, dude. Yes, it's sold. Sorry!

You're going to pay roughly the same either way. It's a far less daunting process than it seems if you take it slow. If you've got a mechanically inclined buddy, they're a good addition to the DIY routine.

Quick question for those who've hopefully done this before: I'm trying to grab a lower displacement and/or slower track bike for next year - and keep it on the cheap side. For what will be my first year of consistent track riding, I'd like to get something slower so that my corner entry and...

Thanks, buddy! Thinking I might get it painted and done up a bit into next season. Get some colour on it - just a bit!

Right on! Getting married or buying a motorcycle is a funny dilemma. Tell him to buy it off you with the dowry or something, and that he won't regret it! Best of luck with the sale.

Hoooooo buddy... Buying a track bike this winter for absolute sure. Got a small lead on a track ready model exactly like mine, for $4000, and hoping it pulls through.

Heya, folks! Some of you may be out of the loop on my even more recent bike purchase; the CBR600F4i that I'd owned previously was a lemon, so I sold it at a loss and purchased a 2009 Triumph Daytona 675. It's been a lovely bike, with tons of character and absolute smoothness. Uniquely, the ECU...

I'd grab an FZ8, if I were looking for more of the same - but something a touch different. Slightly more power, without being too wild.

Where you heading, buddy?

They're fairly new on the market, and relatively cheap. You're not going to get the quality of the more expensive exhaust options, but you will get a nice loud sound and less exhaust restriction. It's like a budget exhaust, and a bit more fancy than a straight pipe. Personally, I find them...

For easy going riding, sitting with an inch or so between your balls and the tank is preferable and generally more comfortable. My knees used to often touch a bit of the frame too, depending on how I sat - seems to be the way it goes. Pillion in this case should be holding onto the rails...

My fizzer with TB pipes used to sound just like that. My buddy, with the same, idles perfectly fine. Covering one of the pipes fixed it much the same. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, aside from turning my TB screws in slightly to richen the mix - which helped marginally. Your...

Anyone else get a kick out of that last line?
