    Anybody getting a Fantasy Football together?

    As the title title states anybody starting one on this site. I was in one on here last year and would like to do it again. I would prefer not to be commish but can do it if need be. I was thinking standard scoring, yahoo, 8 or 10 man league for $20 a person. Anybody interested?

    Where to start?

    Wow love the color! Didn't even know they offered it in the old school yellow. Judging from the picture those tires look rather old, you might want to start with those. You already have the pipes and tail tidy so that's done, that's one of the big ones. From a purely aesthetic view you could...

    windshield mounting harware

    I'm in the same boat as you are. Washed my bike today and noticed I was missing two screws. One for the windshield and one for instrument cluster. But I think I may just use the same screw as the instrument cluster as I believe it the same size but metal not plastic. I believe you have to...

    Tail of the Dragon again or someplace new? Thinking West Virginia

    Get info guys! Much appreciated! WarriorDog, If you have routes planned around Boone I would love to see them! Also any around Southeast Tennessee or Western NC as I am starting to lean towards Boone or Asheville. The other thing I want to make sure of is I will be able to get to where I am...

    Tail of the Dragon again or someplace new? Thinking West Virginia

    It's early but I've started to plan my motorcycle trip for next year already. Did Tail of the Dragon and surrounding roads last year. No motorcycle trip for me this year as I am taking the Family back to Tennessee. But I will definitely be going someplace next year. While I loved the Tail and...

    Fz6 fender eliminator fitment question

    There is no difference as far as FE's go. My guess is they just listed it incorrectly. Not sure what one your looking at but I bought one from this guy and the quality is really good for the money. You can get it in several options, cut-out, no cut-out, 2, 4 or no turn signals, with or...

    Fly Racing - How is the quality?

    I have the Fly 8th street mesh jacket and agree the quality is not on par with some of the more well known brands. The armor seems a little flimsy and there is not much to the interior liner at all. But with that being said it is still good gear for a person on a budget. I would see if you...

    Levers. What do you have and where did you get it?

    I have the 7 click adjustable levers from the2wheels. I really like them. I have had no problems with fading or popping out of adjustment. The only thing that I'm upset about is now they are only $40 compared to the $60 I paid when they first came out! 7 Clicks GP Adjustable Brake Clutch...

    Thinking About Getting A FZ6

    I could be wrong but I believe Yamaha set the suspension up for a rider weighing in the 150-170 range without gear. So you should be fine in that regard. I weigh 150 without gear and the suspension is fine for me. I think the FZ6 is a great all around bike with plenty of power, just not the...

    How to lower 2007 FZ6

    You can order a shaved seat from this guy. I believe he can lower the seat up to an inch but I had this done from him and it seems to be more like a half inch. I do recommend it though as it makes the seat very comfortable if you get the Supracor. greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php

    Should I still change my oil now or just wait?

    I like to change the oil to get all the contaminants out. So I'm asking if I will get the same results as changing the oil when it's nice and warm.

    Should I still change my oil now or just wait?

    Normally I like to change the oil in my bike before I put it away for the winter. Normally I will take it for a quick ride to fill the tank and then change the oil when I get back after it is nice and warm and had a chance to run through the motor. Well this year winter kinda snuck up on me...

    Reluctance to lean? Bike wants to stay upright on turns?

    I'll be honest with you, your tires are junk, they were junk when they were brand new and they're junk now. Just spend the money and get a decent set of sport touring tires. There's a lot of good brands out there. Do that and I promise your turning issues will be gone. And if your still not...

    1st season Winterizing

    My routine is this. Wax the bike, fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer, change the oil, either take the battery inside or put on a tender, rags in the exhaust pipe to keep critters from making a nest, tuck it away in the corner of the garage with a cover on the center stand. Also a piece of...

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    Yeah MPG is about the last thing I'm thinking about when I'm on the bike! Of course it's just a toy for me and not my daily driver.

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with the bike. I was hoping for a Ninja 1000 or Honda Interceptor type bike with full/half fairings. Or better yet, an FZ6 with the triple. It looks like they just slapped on some handguards, ugly windscreen, rearseat handholds and a feeble attempt at...

    Slightly OT, but still FZ6 relevant

    It won't weaken the frame but it will look like a** when you the put the sill back in unless you want to caulk the cut and repaint every time you take it out. Also it looks like you will still have a bit of a bump up from your soleplate. I would still use your ramp and get somebody to help you...

    Tennessee 2014

    I was there at the end of August. Amazing riding! Am already planning on going back next year.

    My bike evidently came with a coolant reservoir - now what?

    Do NOT use tap water when changing coolant! Use distilled water only.
