    What is your default lane position and why?

    This! I almost always ride on the left. When I do this, I notice oncoming traffic will damn near drive on the shoulder! I've also been known to drive in the left passing lane on a 4-lane split highway at dawn and dusk to have better reaction time to whatever might come out of the ditch to the...

    What's the deal with the temperature gauge?

    That's not too hot for coolant. I believe my fan has kicked on around 212 F, cools it down to a certain temp and turns off. It's been a handful of months since I've been on my bike, so I don't know the exact numbers

    WTB: Front Fender

    Still looking for one if anyone has one. Not a necessity, it's purely for looks but would just be nice to replace the broken one that's on there now.

    How do you prepare for a new riding season?

    I am finally starting to come out of hibernation myself! Seems I go in to hibernation on this forum when the cover goes on my bike. Probably for the better so I don't go crazy for the 5 months I can't ride! In the next week or so I will get her uncovered and do some bit of maintenance. I...

    How To "Store" My FZ6 During Winter?

    The winterizing steps varies from person to person. I just top off the tank with gas and fuel stabilizer, give it a good wash and wax, throw a cover on, and it sits in the corner of my unheated garage. If your battery is healthy, it'll make it through the winter months fine. I verified this...

    73 beetle keeps blowing signal fuse

    Sounds like a short on one of the signal wires. The fun part is finding which one! Hope you have wiring schematics handy.

    rear brake upgrade

    I know you probably have taken care of it, but I have to ask if you have flushed and put fresh DOT4 brake fluid in? Just to make sure any old fluid and water are out of the lines and calipers that would reduce the boiling point. I do a lot of commuting and highway miles, so I have no other...

    WTB: Front Fender

    I have a 2007, and I'm not sure if they are the same or not. Edit: just checked and they are different part numbers and look slightly different in the parts catalog. Not sure on fitment though

    Rear Sprocket Carrier | Failed Studs

    Funny this just came up. I'm doing my chain and sprockets this weekend. I'll be torquing the rear sprocket to 40-45 ft-lbs. I have enough other stuff to fix.
