    Bike doesn't have the right pull?

    Well, when the bike is on a center stand, I can easily spin the wheels. It's slightly touching the pads, but it's normal...

    Bike doesn't have the right pull?

    I don't know if I imagining this, but I feel like my bike (2006, 35k mi) is working too hard, especially in lower gears, and off the start. It still pulls good, but sounds as it has to work harder/busier to get there. Has anyone experienced it?

    Summer riding pants -- suggestions?

    I have this Revit Sand 2 pants REV'IT! Sand 2 Pants - RevZilla I use for all weather conditions. It has 2 linings good for 25 - 85f weather. Total of 4 variations depending on temps. The drowback is that you have to remove inner linings 1 by 1 the hoter it gets, and it's not a Goretex, so the...

    Gas tank reserve

    I normally put 87 regular (I think 95 EU equivalent) but no matter the grade, I noticed that sometimes it runs as a champ and other times it feels like pulling a trailer. That's what happened last time I filled up at "76" gas station. Next time I'll experiment with some brand name gas 87 and 93...

    Shipping vs. Fly and pick up?

    I'm all for riding very long distances, but this won't be a pleasant ride. Have you took into account one or possibly 2 nights of hotel stay? $200 is not a biggie vs all of the inconveniences related to travel and running against time, and if you got the bike at a good price, you can add it to...

    Shipping vs. Fly and pick up?

    I wouldn't worry for a chain adjustment after 1300 miles or more, neither about other stuff going wrong. The question is would you save anything doing that? My friend shipped an FJR for about $400 from NC to NJ, so if you can do it for approx the same give or take, I'd rather ship.

    Where to mount power outlet

    I don't have a heated gear, but I do plug different wires like charging a phone in my pocket, or a helmet cam if the battery runs out in it. So if the wire is fairly long, there is no problem with steeting. I really don't see a perfect spot on this bike without drilling. But for the heated gear...

    Where to mount power outlet

    I didn't want to drill a hole in the fairings so I placed it on top of the metal thing where the cables are. Sorry, the pic came out up side down hm....

    Comfortable Motorway/Highway cruising speeds

    Man, going from GSXR 750, to FZ6... of course you'll feel like that. Maybe FZ1 would do better for you. As for the wind, no shield is 100% good for LD touring. Unlike the ADV bikes, FZ6 gauge cluster is lower, so the windshield is also will always sit lower, unless you'll put an ugly oversized...

    Comfortable Motorway/Highway cruising speeds

    - Americans won't go to a metric any time soon cas it requires to learn something new, no matter now easy it is :). In some cases it is in metric, but 90% of time is in Imperial. And to add to your laughs, liquids measurements, temps in Fahrenheit... etc. - Fuel consumption. Well just more...
