After a lot of searching I think this is the jacket for me. I'm guessing it would be about perfect for riding in Michigan.
Anyone out there have one? What's your experience with it? What's the elbow and shoulder armor like, the dense foam-hard plastic stuff? Does the elbow and shoulder...
I'd like to invest in a 3 season motorcycle jacket. Textile is fine, but if there's a reasonable leather out their, I'd look at it. Any recommendations?
The Speed and Strength line seems nice.
I've been using a Luggage Locker tail bag for my FZ6 this summer on over nighters. It's well built, fits the seat of my bike like a glove and it's the perfect size for an overnighter or two with a lot of stuff or for longer trips if you pack carefully.
If I need more room I'll order their...
I don't know if it was good for the bike, but it sure was good for me!
I noticed the roads were dry so I got it plenty hot and went around the block a couple of times. It was a 2 mile ride in 1st and 2nd gears up to 40 mph in 34 degree weather.
Maybe this is just something I need to figure out for myself . . . but how do you guys recommend I thread, fold, store, etc the battery tender quick connect cable on my FZ6 when I'm riding?
Which battery tender should I buy for winter and for long time periods I may not use my bike? I'm not knowledgeable regarding this sort of thing . . . amps, volts, etc.
I'd like something with a quick connect harness.
I just bought an Arai Vector in medium and like the helmet. The 30 mm cheek pieces are a little tight and become uncomfortable after an hour or so. It gets to the point where I need to open my mouth for relief.
Will they conform to my face in time? Would you recommend the 25 mm? That...
I live in Saginaw and want to invest in a good helmet. I need to try on a number of them with my glasses. We have a shop in Saginaw called Riders, they're nice people but the selection is limited.
Is there kind of a helmet superstore in Grand Rapids? I get there often.
What's the best full face for glasses? I should have added this earlier . . . that would also be good for sight, ventilation, comfort and noise reduction.
Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a reliable supplier for a PUIG Windscreen to me?
I tried 1tail.com and they're terrible. I'm pretty sure I'm being ripped off by them.
Thanks.
Any one have good or bad luck with these guys? I ordered a PUIG Windscreen and screw kit from them 10 days ago and still haven't gotten them. They're in Minnesota, I'm in Michigan.
Their response to my e-mails questioning the status of the order are pretty vague.
I'm a new rider and have a 2008 FZ6 with 800 miles on it. I took it on the freeway for the first time this afternoon and noticed a vibration at 70 mph and over. It wasn't a severe vibration, just enough to make riding a long distance at that speed uncomfortable (along with the wind . . ...
I need to replace the windshield on a 2008 FZ6 I just bought and would also like to get the Yamaha cover for it also. Where is the best place to buy them on the internet?
I'm picking up a 2008 FZ6 this week and have some questions regarding speed and power:
How much horsepower is the bike rated at?
What is the bikes top speed?
What is the top speed in each gear without blowing the engine?
