    Looking for FZ6 riders in Gatineau area

    Sorry to go in a different direction... but whats this requirement in Quebec? without a full license you have to always ride in a group? I've never heard of that

    So. Rode a S1000RR for the first time.

    I know what you mean on all that, Ive ridden my dads 2013 R1200GS a few times now and have had a chance to play on some dirt roads too, not the same style of bike by any means but very similar in the quality of the electronics like you were talking about. They share all the same technology...

    Adirondack Mountain Ride

    A little late I know, but Luka and I went down there as he mentioned, we started by crossing at ogdensburg, We headed for Whiteface mountain, once you get close there is an awesome road which ends at the whiteface memorial highway (pretty much just a switchback road to the top) from there we...

    Dunlops, what am I doing wrong?

    That would be correct, it might have been misleading when I said before and after, the after picture was after I had a new set installed, it was just the only photo I had on hand of my really worn down set

    Dunlops, what am I doing wrong?

    I recently swapped out my tires, I got 25,500 km out of my battle axe bt23's... so that's almost 16,000 miles Before and After: I would say the most likely reason for your early tire failure was the fact they were the tires that got put on in the factory, I have never seen a bike with...

    HVMP bar ends.... no more

    So, an update to this... I contacted HVMP to ask what kind of warranty or guarantee they offer, the customer service Ive received so far has been nothing but exceptional. I have been dealing with a woman named Sue, I described my issue and got a response fairly quickly. After learning some...

    HVMP bar ends.... no more

    So I bought a set of HVMP bar ends last fall off another forum member, can't say I noticed a huge difference in vibration but I liked them none the less. Today I was riding on our main highway here in Ontario (401) which most traffic travels at 120 km/h or so, I was doing about that just chilled...

    Fender Eliminator [help]

    If you take off the left side pod you should see where the stock turn signals connect into the wiring harness, they each have a little plug. Just unplug it there and take the turn signal off then route the wires through your fender eliminator and back to where you unplugged them. And for the...

    Popped a mini Wheelie... (by accident)

    Ive done something similar before, was behind a bunch of slow traffic on a local secondary one land highway. We were stopped at a red light so I casually rolled up to the front in the empty turning lane watching the lights and timing my approach so I would be at the front of the line to cut in...

    What Octane? - I'm in Canada

    That whole "essay" which seems to be about selling sta-bil for the most part is about issues with machines being stored and how ethanol can gum up the works with extended sitting times unused. That is well documented but the original question is about using regular gas which can contain up to...

    how much do dealers usually mark up?

    Bring in some Kijiji adds with you for current FZ6 listings as proof your not just trying to low-ball them and remind them a stock bike is worth way more than a modified bike, any reputable dealer who's been in the game any reasonable amount of time should know that. I know the issue has...

    Is This The Right Kit - Angel Eye Mod

    I know that kit seems really inexpensive... but I would think its at the cost of quality, you are getting a Chinese special right there... you will get zero support from them, and you could be stuck with non functioning headlights, you will have to re-bake open if something breaks or isn't...

    What Octane? - I'm in Canada

    I'm in Ontario and I run regular in it full time with absolutely no issues, I will fill up with premium and put some seafoam in the tank for when it sits over the winter but that's it, the worry with ethanol is that it can absorb water which can become a problem if your leaving it sitting in...

    Getting my bike back to great condition

    The likely culprit to your wheel not spinning is the brake caliper seals, they harden up over time and do not allow the pistons to retract as they would if they were fresh, its very well documented on the forum, should be easy enough to change out if you've already done the brake fluid once...

    FZ6R LED Relay

    I'm sure the actual cost of shipping to Canada isn't that bad, but everyone uses it as an excuse to jack up the shipping costs to gouge us, I paid $15 for a throttle cable for another bike and had to pay $35 in shipping... yet I drive a half hour to the border where I have a U.S. PO box and the...

    How much do you pay for insurance?

    Over in Quebec you don't have the "no fault insurance" though, that's what's driving our rates in Ontario up so high, "If I get hit and its 100% the other drivers fault MY insurance company is the one who has to pay for everything

    The 2013 and up BMW R1200 GS has an optional all LED headlight system, its a $850 optional add on, I haven't seen anything aftermarket as of yet

    how to change coolant?

    It really depends on the water in your region, I know Kingston water is pretty limestone'y, here in waterloo where I am at the moment the water is super hard, you don't want water with lots of minerals and improperly balanced on a Ph scale going through your system, since we do have an aluminum...
