    Adjusting Chain Tension

    I have about 2500 miles on my new 2008 FZ6. When I got it, the dealer wanted me to bring it by at 600 miles for the first checkup. He quoted me $500-$600. No thanks. I did a safety inspection and changed my own oil thanks to info on this forum. Now I notice my chain seems a little slack...

    Question about my EXO-700

    yeah, I tried that several times and its on correctly. The other thing that is weird, is that since the right dial is not horzontal, it makes getting the visor off a little tough. One hand has two twist, to get into the finger slots on the right side. make sense?

    Pet peeves

    I cant stand when people use pre- in front of words that don't need it. like pre-heat - its just heat or pre-register - your just registering or pre-plan - its planing etc I also cant stand when people say hot water heater. why do they heat hot water. I have a cold water heater.

    First Service on 08 FZ6

    thanks to all for the responses. Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't think so. I remember being shocked when he said it. Later that day, I also had an unpleasant experience while looking at helmets and jackets. Nothing specific, just a general feeling that the sale guy didn't really care...
