I almost got ran over today, at the gas station, not even on my bike, but I was wearing all my gear.
I was on my way out of town and needed to get gas. There is one station between my house and the interstate but it is kind of small only 5 pumps. I pulled in behind two cars and waited...
I had my bike parked and under a cover today. Most days I ride the bike since our ridding season is limited, but I was late to work and had a video exporting and needed to leave my computer open while I on my way to work. I got a call from my wife saying, "I might have made a mistake" I assumed...
I purchased a new rear tire, the only shop that is any good is 30 minuted away. I need away to get my tire and bike to the shop any ideas? I would prefer to not have my wife follow me in the car with the tire but if I have to I will, I am also considering taking the wheel off.
I put the bike in storage a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. I took it out today washed it and checked it over today. I also replaced my uncaged frame sliders with T-rex frame sliders (went down last year and needed to replace the one on the right, I will post the left one in the for sale...
I wrecked my uncaged frame sliders last year and they did an amazing job of saving my bike. Because I couldn't order new ends for mine I ordered new T-rex sliders. they came on one is longer than the other I know that is right, the bolts are also the same length is that right?
I for the first time saw another FZ6 on the road. (I wasn't on my bike it been raining the last couple of days and was taking my truck to a mud hold, which ended in me waiting for my intake to dry out) Any one ridding around Midland today if you where I am always looking for people to ride with.
I rode up north about an hour for the long weekend. Coming home was nuts. Line of cars the whole way in the passing lane 70+ in 55 mph two lane road 90+ in 70 MPH interstate. I tried everything to get a open spot. Very long ride first time to pack the bike up for a trip more than one day...
Are you guys using anything to tether your gps to your bike or do you just trust your mount? If you do use a tether what are you using and where did you get it?
Anybody know what is going on with uncaged, they have all their sliders marked down to $40 and looks like they aren't going to be making any more. I would really like to get a pair of replacement black ends.
Can I damage anything on my bike slip shifting (shifting with out the clutch) I can do it in cars but not sure how to do it with out neutral in between all the gears. I can do it at low rpms slowly getting up to speed wanted to make sure I wasn't going to do any damage to the bike trying it...
I was looking at all of the past posts of fender Eliminator and LEDs and decided it would be nice to have a list of them in one place. If you have either flush mount lights or a FE please post some pictures where you purchased them, the cost, time to install, and all positives and negatives...
Hopeing I can find someone that went down on the other side of the bike then me. I need the end (uncaged only has white). I also need the bolt I bent mine.
I was on my way home from work took the long way since it was so nice out. Coming back into town a lady made a left turn right in front of me. I hit the breaks locked up the rear she stopped half way in my lane had no option but to turn and lay it down. I missed her car and so did the bike (It...
I am looking at getting the Scala Rider Q2. Anyone use this? I am going to mainly use it for intercom for me and a passenger. Is it possible for me to hook up an Ipod to it? How well does the phone work and how loud does the speakers get? My helmet has a lost of wind noise.
I adjusted my chain the other day. loosened the axle nut then used the adjustment screws. Went for a ride heard a winding noise and though it would be to tight. Went home adjusted it again then went for a ride today. It sounds like the chain is hitting something metal anytime I slow down it...
I have this strange rattle noise almost like a valve ticking when I am on the throttle at about 4000 rpms. As soon as I let go of the gas it stops. Is this normal? I just bought and still haven't taken it for a good ride yet. I think it is coming from the engine. Even with it in neutral sitting...
We are starting to get a little break in winter up here in Michigan. We had a 45 degree day one of my friends took his bike out for a ride (I was out to but didn't see any cops). While in a parking lot a cop stopped by and told him it is reckless driving to be driving while there is snow on the...
As winter gets longer I am more willing to ride in colder temperatures. How about you guys what is the coldest temp you will ride in? I am about to the point if their is no snow on the road I want to go for a ride. I don't like to ride in temps below 55 I get tired of people's comments at gas...
I have decided to get a pair of Uncaged frame sliders. I would like the look of the cheap FZ6 slider on Ebay but I would like them to work if I drop the bike in a parking lot. My question is any not happy with the uncaged sliders? What would be the advantage of the swing arm sliders? Any one...
Thank you everyone for helping make this forum a great resource. I just got my bike home (thanks to the advice of you guys in getting it safely in my truck, getting it out was a little more difficult but it all came out ok) Also gave me a lot of good advice on price and what to look for. Here...
