Quick question for those who've hopefully done this before: I'm trying to grab a lower displacement and/or slower track bike for next year - and keep it on the cheap side. For what will be my first year of consistent track riding, I'd like to get something slower so that my corner entry and...
Heya, folks! Some of you may be out of the loop on my even more recent bike purchase; the CBR600F4i that I'd owned previously was a lemon, so I sold it at a loss and purchased a 2009 Triumph Daytona 675. It's been a lovely bike, with tons of character and absolute smoothness. Uniquely, the ECU...
Been making great money at work, so I decided to treat myself and sell the old lemon CBR (as much as I loved it when it ran), since I was sick of replacing parts and sinking into a money pit!
Can't freaking wait. My test ride on the 675 was stellar.
SOLD!
Got a PC3EX for sale. $100+ shipping and its yours. I was dumb and ordered this without thinking - and it won't work with my current ride.
Inbox me!

Got the old girl patched up a little more after some electrical issues. New R/R, plugs, and battery seems to have fixed her up and she's peppy as ever. My 2nd cylinder spark plug had burn marks on the white ceramic part, which makes me suspect it wasn't seated fully. The threads in the plug...
Heya guys. Been having an issue now for a little while in which my idle is periodically rough for seemingly no reason, the bike is having a harder and harder time starting, and finally - it's died on me twice in the last two days, after slow bouts in traffic. Once it's running and I'm moving...
I realize this isn't Fizzer related, but I'm trying to discern a quirk I noticed this morning on my 600F4i. When I let the clutch lever out, I can hear a sort of springy, "sproing" type sound from the clutch basket somewhere. Rolling the bike, putting it in gear, turning it on - it still makes...
Had around 2 months now to ride around on my new to me CBR600F4i, a 2002 model with 49,000 km when I picked it up. Had to put in a fair bit of work, fixing the valves up, fixing the CCT, replacing 9/10ths of the hoses, doing a starter valve (TB) sync, and lowering the absurd amount of oil that...
Finally got my bike taken care of in regards to safety, some minor shop work (new front tire, front pads, and plate lights), and insurance (which tripled due to policy changes - thanks, Onterrible. :thumbdown: )
Took it out for a spin around some country roads north of my house, and it's been a...
Volume warning! Check it out dudes!

Valve adjustment, CCT fixed up so it isn't spewing oil, 9/10ths of the hoses replaced, and TBs synced up nicely! Ready to ride once I get it a safety for it, and fix up the tank mounting bolts!
What an adventure it's been tearing this bike down slowly over the course of many weeks, waiting for free time and warm weather. I've had to replace many of the aging, cracking hoses with new ones. This is especially true for the throttle bodies and fuel lines - as I won't take chances with...
Here are a couple of photos of me in the process of taking my bike apart. All in all, to get to the point where the plastics were off, it's taken me about two hours due to a number of hang ups along the way.
I got my little oil filled heater I picked up at Canadian Tire hooked up and on max...
2002 CBR600F4i w/ 49,000km. New oil, plugs, fluids, filter, tires, chain, and sprockets! Runs like a top, and is in great shape all things considered!
Time for some winter touch ups, and prepping for the next season! I figure pissing off the rents by riding it down the street already without...
Hey folks! Figured I'd share the good news in that I found a wicked deal on a bike - and will be back on the road next year. Got a local 2002 CBR600 F4i with 30,500 miles for $3000! It's had a full service done, including valves, oil/filter, plugs, etc. Comes with a new chain, sprocket (steel...
Running on Windows 7 with Firefox. I've got ABP which is disabled on here, and NoScript which I also disable for the site. Something in the recent advertisements, or part of the website design (although I'm thinking the former) has been causing my browser to lock up completely. It only stopped...
As you guys might be aware, I had to write off my poor FZ6. While it's tempting to go and grab another, I see this opportunity as a chance to try another bike! I ended up having some weird fascination with Gixxers, although I wouldn't really mind any of the 600 supersports if I were to find a...
Thread title says it all. I've got the ignition barrel from my unfortunate wreck, 100% functioning and intact. Comes with the barrel, a key (I only got one from the PO - sorry), and the wire to connect it to your ECU and the likes. Giving this particular combo away for $50, and there's also the...
Power Commander 3 / 08 FZ6 Engine for sale!
Heya folks! I've got another thread going with little odds and ends, but I figured a thread highlighting the big buck type items would be worthwhile.
Payment through PayPal, you pay shipping! Post here or shoot me a PM! Other thread...
[PARTING OUT] ENGINE READY! Zealot's Official, Unofficial Wreck Parts Thread
Still got some stuff left. Comon, boys!
Everything here is coming from my Black 2008 FZ6 S2 with 22,000km on it. Everything that I'm selling is in excellent and working condition save for a specific few with minor...
Edit: In an incredible turn of events, my dad is lending me his VTX 1800 to use temporarily. Said he never rides it, and it's an 02 with not even 10,000km on it. Keep me mobile until I get a car, and happy until I get another bike. Going to shoot the **** with you guys regardless, haha!
So, as...
