You can get a michelin Anakee in a 170 wide tire, or an avon AM44 in a 160 wide tire. I think a 170 would probably work, a 160 might be pushing it a bit to narrow for the width of the rim.

I need to move wherever the hell you are!! Its 95% straight here :(

HOLD THE FRONT DOOR, HERE!!! I do believe, title + Yamaha Dealer = New Key (a nice new yamaha key) No need to remove, un bolt, or un-do anything at all...

Just got a Dual Set if Smh10r's. I found the manual to be a bit lacking.. They show how to set things up, but not really how to take full advantage of the different functions of the communitators. I ended up google searching how to do some different things: Like how to music share with...

I lost my virginity to Ray's (Milwaukee) this past January. LOVED IT!! What a Hoot!!

Also, I favored running a tire with less tread on it. Think kenda small-block 8's, Bontrager XR1's. Go fatter in front 2.25" with a 2.0 or even 1.9" in the rear. Handled great in most conditions from loose sand to packed dirt & gravel. The big foot print of the 29er really grips on to stuff...

I'm 5'9" on a good day, 180ish lbs depending on the month of the year, lol. It will be a little different than a 26er but once you get used to the size and geometry of things its so much better of a bike. I would squeeze it through the tightest of hairpins on the skills course just as well as...

Go big or go home, bud! 29" Its all about Circumference, at least thats what she said!! Blah My biggest regret in life was selling my Gary Fisher Paragon 29er and buying a Specialized FSR full squish bike. The full squish has its merits on a 6 hour ride, but the 29er hard-tail tackled ground...

I ride with plugs a large majority of the time too. I was wondering how well the comms would work with ear plugs! Thanks!

Can I shamelessly thread jack?? I'm considering picking up a pair of comms for the lady and I, We ride seperate bikes. Considering the Sena SMH10r or the Cardo Scala Q3. Both come in a pair set, and are around $300 for the pair. Which one should I go for?? Or Maybe something totally...

Best Quote Ive heard in a While!!

^ I hope thats not your Tire!!!

I used to run Dunlop Q2's, those would usually last me 4,000 miles on the rear tire, lots of freeway straight line riding. I think i got 8000 on a front tire, though it was looking pretty rough by the end. My last set of rubber mounted up was a set of Michelin PR3's, I have about 5,500 miles...

It wreaked havock all up and down the engine; took out a tooth on the gear on the crank, wrecked the chain of course, destroyed the lower chain guide (requires splitting the case to replace that one). As for the top end it is an interference motor.. so it bent the valves (all 4 of them, lol.)...

I have an old license plate from my car thats pre-bend for this task!

I guess its all upon chance... (and maintenance of course). A goldwinger that I ride with just turned over 470,000 miles on his wing (no thats not a typo) I have 19,600 miles on my fz6 and am starting to hear cam chain noise. I figure its about time for a tensioner and new chain. Then...

2009 FZ6, purchased last spring with 2000 miles on it. Clock now @20,000. No repairs! Though I am starting to hear some cam chain noise... So this winter it will get a new CCT & Chain along with a valve shim check, and adjustment.

If someone were to want to buy it with the stock fairing I'd maybe interested in buying the VS kit. Just shoot me a PM if that situation comes about! Good luck selling!

I have learned something new today! I can now take the rest of the day off of work and ride my motorcycle!

Great thread! Interesting findings with your Valve Clearances though. With mileage, clearances usually shrink, especially exhaust valves. I find it a bit odd that nearly all the exhaust clearances were too large. Ive never checked valves on a newer modern 4cyl, just older air cooled jap bikes...
