    Just moved to Poland, need garage/service tips

    Thanks for these tips man, I did have those in mind to tell you the truth...I believe I will need to do such things because weather here can get pretty cold most times, roads become icy and wet, there are slippery tram lines everywhere and generally it scares me to ride under such conditions...

    Just moved to Poland, need garage/service tips

    The American Mentality (As Told by our Youth)

    This doesn't happen only in the USA, such mentality exists everywhere in the world. It's as old as human and motorcycle history... At least in the USA you have the roads to justify buying a liter, or more, motorcycle...Imagine in countries that the biggest and longest roads are one or two...

    Concerns about travelling x2

    Thank you both for the answers and suggestions. Just one question, by letting her come closer to you and lean on you, putting her arms around you, don't you have the "banging helmets" problem? cause we do a lot...even if I try to be gentle, like you said Z. Yes, it is a good idea to try the...

    Need some Givi recommendations

    Well my friend, since I took that path recently I can tell you a few things. First of all, you will have to understand that there are currently two different systems out there to mount a case on a plate, the MONOKEY and the MONOLOCK. The differences are on the mounting way and the cargo weight...

    Concerns about travelling x2

    Guys guys, who said we don't stop frequently? Have you ever ridden with a woman on the fazer's back seat??? It is impossible not to stop, minimum every 30km(18miles) maximum 50(31miles)! Her bottom will grow rashes! Of course we do stop frequently, if not I would have lost her in some turn....or...

    Concerns about travelling x2

    Concerns about travelling x2

    Hello guys! The reason I’ve opened this topic is to get some answers on some questions that are troubling my mind for some time now and that have to do with the usage of my bike (fazer600 s2) for travelling with my life’s other half…. I used to live a normal and lonely life, travelling indoors...

    What's your favorite (transmission) gear?

    Depends on the route actually, but in the twisty, rocky mountain roads that I ride, for quick riding I have always found myself using 4th gear. On 4th gear there, I have the power, I have the speed needed and I also have the time to react if something nasty happens....like once, there was a...

    Ohlins Rear Shock Installed

    Hey Scottn! Just by curiosity, how did you setup the shock? A friend of mine came the other day and we managed to take measurements and find sag and all that. I did a small trip and I liked the behavior of the bike, but today I find my back hurting because of the stiffness of the suspension...

    My fazer has lost stability on curves

    Tomorrow I'm thinking of going for a ride, close by, just to stretch a bit. Nothing fast or crazy, just a few calm kms, coffee somewhere nice, etc. We'll be 2 fazers, me and a friend, also member of this forum. If you feel like coming, we can also talk more thoroughly about this, send me a pm...

    My fazer has lost stability on curves

    Re: Status Update Well, let's just say that on 1st one it was my stupidity that got in the way and caused it, cause I didn't buy a sun visor for my helmet (I thought it costed too much), nor I was wearing sunglasses, with the result of being totaly blinded by the sun on a curve from...

    My fazer has lost stability on curves

    Re: Status Update Look, you have to understand that the feeling I described was caused due to two main factors; The damaged front system and the wasted rear suspension. So now, to help you I can describe you my experience and only that. With the change of the front suspension (Ohlins), I...

    Jacket Patch?

    Very interesting idea.....I can't wait to see what the result will be. For some reason, the link to see the Rectangular patch doesn't work. Also, the "Enjoy life....." would be cool to have on patch.

    Did the Air box mod, got pics!

    Thanks man, I would be willing to have better sound out of my bike, but because I do large trips, consumption is almost always of the essence for me. I have changed air filter though, with a pipercross one....and since then I have noticed: a) change in sound b) slight change in performance...

    NGK iridium spark plugs

    I am sorry again Chevy (nothing personal man) but, I have bought 3 times for my bike and I have never, ever seen anywhere written by the plug manufacturer (NGK) what you say. Not even on their site (please point me to it if I am wrong or post it here). Also, normal plugs for this bike are 2-pin...
