Some interesting reading I ran across this morning: Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

The glass beach in Ft Bragg is pretty cool Glass Beach - Fort Bragg California The Bigfoot museum sounds fun but I haven't caught it open yet Bigfoot Discovery Project The sea spouts in Depoe Bay, OR are really cool, the Rogue brewery in Newport, and the Tillamook cheese factory is a must -...

Has anyone tried FZ 07 bars on their FZ6 yet?

I finally got some time to try out my new corbin seat. It's pretty much what other threads say about it - wider and firmer and you sit a little higher - but I was surprised how much it changes the feel of the bike! Much more feedback than the mushy stock one, I really get a better feel for...

I can rule out the fuses. I just replaced all of them (went to the auto parts store on my last ride and changed them there. Still died on the way back.) But like I said if I poked at the wiring under the fuse block it came back to life, so the problem must be at or near the block. After...

The cleaning the fuse contacts didn't fix the problem after all. Just got back from another ride and it died on me several more times. But, if poked at the wires under the fuse block, the display came back on and it would start again. I'm thinking now that MotoGiro had it right when he said...

More headaches Started it up to take it out for a test ride this morning. Right around the time the lo temp indicator went off it died. The display stayed on and it started right back up again, then it died a second time, same thing. Once the idle dropped to 1300 I rode it about 10 miles no...

Not yet, but it would probably be a good idea to do those too when I'm feeling a little more energetic.

I appreciate it, but I just cleaned the fuse contacts with some steel wool, shot some contact cleaner into the fuse block contacts and hit them with some dielectric grease and it seems to have solved the problem. Time will tell.

I think I found the problem- dirty contacts on the ignition fuse. I pulled it out, put it back in and turned the key and presto! display, fuel pump, warning lights came on like normal. Pulled the ignition fuse out and it gave me the same problems I was having before. Probably time to clean...

So I got my bike back from the shop. They couldn't make it quit, but they figured the battery was the problem (it was 5 years old) and they replaced it. I rode it home last night no problem. Went out for a ride today and about 3 miles into it it died coming to a stop sign and wouldn't start...

No, when it first started only the motor would die for a split second and the display would stay on. Later it started to die completely and the lights and display would shut down too.

Re: Narcoleptic Electrical System Update Thanks for the replies! Here's an update; Went to the shop and talked to the mechanics yesterday. They've had the bike out several times and can't make it die. They've looked at some of the connections but didn't see anything unusual. They said...

Late last spring my engine started cutting out on me. It would just die for half a second and roll start again. It idles fine and runs great except for that. I Checked the fuel and vent lines, battery connections, cleaned kickstand kill switch and even replaced the kill switch on the bars...

It could just be me, but shifting seems smoother with the idle set higher.

The gate guards here want to see both sides of my card so I keep mine in a clear plastic sleeve with a lanyard tied to it. I keep the lanyard hanging out of my chest pocket with the velcro flap shut over it and about 6" of it exposed. when I get to the gate I pull the flap open, grab the...

I just mounted a pair of mirror extenders that I bought from fellow member Jblk9695. That guy is a true craftsman. They are machined out of aluminum and have a tough black plastic coating. The fit and finish is superb, the hardware is well thought out, they were easy to mount, and I don't see...
