    Did I burn my starter - Cage question

    check your muffler bearings and your carburetor belt as well. its very unlikely that youre out of blinker fluid.

    Chain and sprocket??

    exatcly. it all depends on the type of riding you do. since my bike sees almost exclusively highway it is more practical to go with the +1 (17t) front sprocket. if you do mostly city or lower speed riding the -1 (15t) is a very good idea. I know this is apples to oranges but on my GT when I...

    Chain and sprocket??

    I would go with the DID chain, I believe I got mine from the ebay. A lot of people swear by sidewinder and JT sprockets. for the FZ some people go with the 520 conversion but for commuting and some serious riding stay with a 530 as its a heavier chain and will last 20k+ miles. what Scott...

    powdercoating is pretty tough stuff when it is done right.

    Wheel polishing help!!!

    I thought the S2 rims were powdercoated? the S1 rims are bare anyway, aside from a terrible clearcoat.

    decline in MPG'S

    eh, it wasnt that hard and all it cost me was 30 min and a pint of DOT4 also, I forget who asked but I use Rotella T6 with a dash of the rotella 15w-40 because pure T6 gave me some funny feelings within the gearbox so I thicken it up a tad Im pretty sure I have a psychological 10hp gain...

    Riding at high temperature

    I have my fan on a switch so that I can turn it on constantly should I want to but it still comes on and off with the input from the ecu/temp sensor. I run a water wetter type additive and it does help significantly! I run my concentration much higher than most tho, I add 2 bottles of that...

    decline in MPG'S

    I have R6 calipers with HEL lines on the front, before taking the pistons out and polishing them and greasing the seals I would get just over 3 rotations out of the front tire and now I am getting roughly 3-1/2 so they weren't dragging that bad. I have touched each rotor after a my commute home...

    decline in MPG'S

    last winter my mpg's were still around ~46. even in the summer I noticed something was up but it is much more pronounced of late.

    decline in MPG'S

    Cleaning the air filter is on my list to do this weekend! I checked it in march right before my Florida trip so it is certainly due to be cleaned/checked. and I have run seafoam thru it recently but hadnt noticed any difference.

    decline in MPG'S

    Ill keep it shor-tish: idles consistent, has appropriate power and response I use the same station to fill up almost every time. My riding habits have not changed. Tires are properly inflated and chain cleaned, adjusted and lubed. My brakes arent dragging (that I know) I just pulled apart...

    poor throttle response and engine stalling

    I rode mine all last week so I would venture to say that the bike should function fine in the cold....the airbox said 22 one day when I went out..

    Conversion

    I have seen some people just mount a regular 6" hella light on the front.... the windscreen is not as big of a deal since you wont have that nose piece creating a buffet in front of you....

    Some Ingenuity Needed

    I have done all kinds of things to get bolts out, hammering on a socket, welding the socket to the bolt head, notching it and using the screwdriver, and even drilling it out :(

    Advice wanted on The Dragon

    I would not hit up the dragon on a weekend, go in the middle of the week. there is WAY too much traffic for it to be safe or fun on a weekend. but the skyway, blood mountain, us29 are all great roads as well.... depending on my schedule I may ride up and meet you there :D
