    Removing Tint/Mirrored Finish From Helmet Visor

    Has anyone ever successfully done this? I have a gold mirrored visor for my helmet, an Icon Alliance Dark, which is beat to all hell. All sorts of scratches and scrapes which make it a bit of a chore to wear while I am riding. Needless to say I have no feelings for this visor so I am pretty...

    Anyone know anything about V-Twin Air Cooled Japanese Bikes? My brother-in-law just bought a VStar 6

    As the title says. Please check out the attached video. I know it's not good, wondering if anyone can pinpoint this scary knocking? I'm wondering if the timing is off and the valves are kissing the piston a little bit? Probably too easy, the sound is pretty catastrophic. I am scared to...

    Pin holes in front tire.

    Hey guys. For the longest time I have had a slow leak from the front tire on my FZ. I have just been dealing with it, airing up before each ride, very annoying. But today I finally got around to checking it out. After spraying soapy water all over the tire and inflating to 40psi, I found 5 or 6...

    '07 FZ6 rough clutch pull.

    Hi guys, I'm hoping someone could give me a little guidance on a issue I'm having. Lately the feel on my clutch has been very resistant. By that I mean taking a lot of force to pull. I released the clutch cable on both ends and pulled it both ways through and back again. It's pretty fluid; the...

    What mirrors do YOU have on your motorcycle?

    Just wanted to post a poll for the general consensus on FZ6 mirror mods, or lack thereof. Just put some R6 mirrors on my bike and I've gotta say I like it so far. They are lower and further out than the stock ones, and they also look a lot sportier. :BLAA: Yamaha should be ashamed for putting...

    Anyone else have a sagging tail light?

    Brake light no longer works when rear brake pedal is pressed.
