Is it really an FZ6? I thought they didn't make a 2012 model.

Yeah, it's behind the Kawi. It kind of blends in with the background in the pic. I have 5gal of IPA and 5gal of root beer in there right now. And like Cliff said, I have plenty of glasses for friends :D

I bet there aren't many married guys who have the problem of "not being able to get to the kegerator because there are too many bikes in the way". My wife rocks :rockon:

I admit that I watched it after last week's SNL skit - that even included Psy himself - and really liked it. It's catchy and like someone said, super cheezy.

Thanks everyone! It was a great day!

Thanks Mick!

Thanks Karen!

Happy Birthday Eric! Hope it was awesome!

Grunge Brush and WD-40, so the same chemical. The bristles are very stiff on the grunge brush but they're also very wide; I don't even know if the bristles can fit through the space to reach the o-rings, so this might not be a problem at all. Just funny how my chain went from fine to really...

Thanks! I thought it was about average, but now it sounds like I got my money's worth out of it! I didn't notice any o-rings coming out, or any side-side slop. Aside from the visible rust powder, which was from the pins/rollers, there was no external sign of wear. Okay, I don't want to...

Only once, but yeah it was 37k miles old. I saw no wear at all on the sprockets either, not compared to the pictures I've seen of worn ones. The teeth were not broken or worn down, and were symmetric and evenly spaced. Also, as far as I could tell my chain was not stretched when I measured...

That's what mine is too, the DID 120 link with the permanent master link . That's also what was on the bike when I got it. I figured since it lasted 37k miles, it was good enough to put another one on!

Nice! You've got a dilemma though. I think you might have to either break that and put it back together with a master link, or remove your swingarm to get that one on.

Raaaaaaaad!

Yes, it's pressed on. The chain breaker tool has all of the inserts needed for breaking the old chain to get it off the bike, and riveting on the new master link. The master link comes with the link (side plate and two pins), o-rings, and the other side plate. When you get the chain on...

It didn't come continuous, and in my searches I didn't see any that were continuous. All the ones I found had master links with them. There are two kinds of master links: clip-on and rivet. Since I had a chain breaker tool, I got the rivet kind because I felt it would be more secure...

Valtermoto. They're pricey, but sweeeeet! Very grippy. I did replace the front nut; I used the original one twice already and just wanted a new one on for safety. I think the dealer actually just threw it in for free with the other parts.

Yes I did. Stock parts, and stock gearing. I couldn't find enough information about quality of other brands compared to stock, so went with the OEM one to be sure. My first one lasted 37k miles, so I'm happy to have that exact same thing again. I even bought them from my Yamaha dealer...

So after 37k miles, my chain was finally shot. It was really shot; it started to show signs of rust, and some of the links were binding. It seemed to go downhill fast; with regular cleaning and lubing, it showed no signs of wear for a LONG time. Then, all of a sudden, I started to notice red...

Happy Birthday Mick! Hope you got everything you wanted!
