    The thrill is gone

    Hey guys...thanks for all the responses. It's time to put the bike away for the winter right now. I had just been reflecting on how different it felt this season. I used to create opportunities to get out on the bike any time I could. I would wander all over Long Island and explore the little I...

    The thrill is gone

    I just finished my 6th season as a biker all inclusive years having the FZ6. It's been a good run with many zen moments, exhilaration and friends made. The vibe this year was just totally different. 2 of my good riding buddies domestic situations have changed (think turning into real grownups...

    Batter tender for 2 batteries?

    So yeah.. basically I went ahead and linked the 2 batteries together. The garage didn't burn down. It's been reading steady green for 2 days and shows 13.12 on the volt meter. I will unplug and let rest for awhile.

    Batter tender for 2 batteries?

    Hey Cliff - yeah for sure it is a smart tender and I have used them exclusively for 5 years on the bike battery. I use the deltran JR. It sounds as if it would be ok to do this. These are old batteries with some life still left in them. Thanks, Tom

    Batter tender for 2 batteries?

    Hi - was wondering if anyone ever tried maintaining 2 batteries at once using a single battery tender? I have 2 car batteries each with at least 2 to 3 years of life left. I want to keep them sharp in case I need them for my generator. Could I hook up jumper wires from one battery to the other...

    Running rough, like on 3 cylinders

    How is your battery? With a really lame charging system when the battery gets weak the bike will start running poorly much like you described about 3 cylinders not 4

    Bi Xenon Projectors

    Jim - I have morimoto mini H1's in mine. these are 2.5". The fit is already tight with the shrouds using the mini gatling gund shrouds. Not saying it cannot be done with 3" projectors but I would think you should be prepared to shave off a bunch from the shroud to make it work. I am interested...

    Fixing a dented gas tank

    I hear what you are saying about not wanting to spend that much or the need for it to look perfect. IMO take it for what it is a cheap repair is going to look worse than it looks now. I don't think you would be able to reach that dent from the filler hole (after removing). It's too far forward

    Fixing a dented gas tank

    That dent doesn't look very long, wide or really that deep. the worst part of this repair will be getting the right paint to match Colorite has the exact paint you will need at a very high cost, plus you need to apply clear coat over the color coat. For the dent itself, grind the paint off from...
