I pull the clutch in, rev it way up, lock up the rear, and as soon as I feel the back end start to step out I pop the clutch. For some reason I only feel comfortable going to the left, it doesn't feel like I have as much control going to the right. It's got to be a mental thing

I just can't stay off it? It's too much fun, even with only 3 gears lol and that I got the hang of it I'm getting rid of it lol

I couldn't find it either when I had mine apart, so I tightened them all in a cross pattern until snug then went a full turn on them all. I also scribed a mark on them so I could see if they backed out and they haven't moved at all.

I for one have a insatiable need for a adrenaline rush!

The fz6 just don't have enough power to really spin the tire on accident. You can hammer into any way you want but with a 180 it just grips! In the dry on warm tires that is. Talking about turning 13k though, about a month ago or when ever I had a chance to ride it before putting it back in the...

Anything that I killed! Especially deer, I don't do it very often but there's a "thing" called a "Fatty" and its awesome. Basically you take a whole lot of bacon, and weave it together to make a solid sheet of bacon, then take your ground venison, or beef, turkey whatever you want and spread it...

Other than the oil pan, I put a new oil filter on because I noticed a big dent in the bottom with a crack in it. I guess it's possible that what ever hit the pan and filter could have hit the shifter linkage too. And it has felt a little "sloppy" but I attributed that to going from the strom to...

Also talking about wondering about how the new bike would hold up? I know lots of people have way more miles on their bikes than me with hardly any issues, so I figure it comes down to 2 things. 1 either the bike has way more miles on it than I thought (different speedo from previous owner?) or...

By the way any of y'all have a clue why it won't go above 3rd gear?

I don't plan on going anywhere, plus ill prolly end up with a fz1 anyways, although the z1000 is getting more and more appealing too. But the way I figure it, if I started with 9 lives, I still have 4 left, so there's at least 3 more "stories" yet to be told :BLAA:

It's all good, I actually pretty much already got the bike sold, one of my good friends wants a project/back up/pain in the ass bike. He knows me quite well and how I have dogged the hell out of it so he knows what he's getting, I won't feel like I'm passing off my junk to someone else or...

I thought it looked kind of evil this morning lol

Alright enough is enough, I got it put back together Saturday, rode it for a bit Sunday, rode it to work Monday and Tuesday and up until today everything has been fine... Now 4th, 5th, and 6th gear are no where to be found and its still not charging, I'm done with it. The beater has finally beat...

I hear ya brother, when it rains it pours! It was one of those chain reaction things and I caught the tail end of it with a fresh tire just put on yesterday. Plus I was probably following too close, but I can see why people complain about those clear tail lights though. We put some kick ass led...

To top everything off I took out a Prius with the vstrom today! But what I think is kinda funny is the bike is fine, the Prius needs a new bumper. That vstrom just won't die!

Honestly I had kind of planned on keeping my fz6 and ride it till the wheels fall off, well that's prolly what will happen next! I got the bike so cheep and really couldn't justify selling it until recently. But there comes a time when you have to realize that when a ride spends more time in the...

Nope not yet, but the shop just called and said my gasket is in so ill pick it up on my way home from work. And yes it really was a blessing in disguise because that truck was all jacked up but they hid it with some "flashy" stuff. Once we took a good look at it the right side frame was bent in...

Double post

Its amazing how your rational thinking changes from 16-20ish to just a few yrs later lol The things I thought were good ideas at the time vs looking back, yeah... Kinda leaves you scratching your head! But I can say I got quite a few story's that I will never forget lol Another one of those...

I thought there was a rd out in Montana that had no limit? I've also herd that here in ga when driving around Albany going through one of the bases too? I wish there was a open road race that would let bikes enter but I have yet to find one. Something like the silver state classic challenge...
