And we did see a lot of Newb Harley riders this weekend for sure. Paper plates and all.

And though he will probably kick my ass, I'm going to post a picture of the face Pete makes when he comes into a corner too hot....

More pics... The place we stayed was totally (only) motorcycle friendly. We were even yelled at for parking a cage in front of one of the rooms... Damned cagers...

:cheer: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE! :cheer:

I had no problems with them on the "Twisted Sisters" ride this weekend. Never once did they give any reason to doubt them. Remember though, I'm in the "smart" group, not the "fast" group. :thumbup...

DVR it every week along with Dexter (Showtime) and Californication (Showtime). My 3 favs this season.

I'll post up a couple of quick pics until I can go through them... We had 4 or 5 cameras there... I have a really nice one of Pete I'll post later... :thumbup:

Just walked in the door guys. What a blast this weekend was! :rockon: Will post when recovered.....

The SuperMoto thing has me bummed... Oh well. We are trying to leave Houston no later than 2 pm on Friday. Damn work gettin' in the way. :rockon: Pete, I'll call you tomorrow and touch base on plans etc.

While I can't find the thread I'm thinking of, this one does talk about lowering/flipping the stock bars. any lower handlebars available for the FZ6??? - Sportbikes.net I hope it's OK to post this link.

If memory serves me, someone over at SBN tried this several years back with bad results. I will try to find the thread.

The Yamaha OEM bearings will continue to do this no matter how many times they change them. Switch to aftermarket tapered bearings (I went with All Balls) and you will never worry about this again. At least nowhere near as often. :thumbup:

I have a friend that uses a Scott Oiler and he likes it. It's a little too messy for my taste. This one looks kinda interesting though: Cameleon Motorcycle Chain Oiler - webBikeWorld

It is quite involved for sure. I've read that a lot of folks who checked them said they were in spec way after the recommended interval. Anyone here find theirs out of spec?

Simichrome and some elbow grease keeps my pipes looking nice. The trick is to not let them get too bad. Blue Job is OK, but requires a lot more effort.

I know a lot of guys that swear by that Mototune break in method. Over on the KLR650 forums, there is talk about the 08 models burning oil if not broken in hard (Mototune etc). The FZ is not an oil burner like the KLR so I don't know if there is an advantage to the hard break in method. I did...

And you had to post that? You realize you WILL have 2 flats in the next week right? :thumbup:

You should really use a spanner wrench although a screwdriver and hammer can be made to work. I have this one: Hand Tools > Wrenches > Spanner Wrenches > Spanner Wrench,6 3/8 L : Grainger Industrial Supply

Not ALL Yamalube is synthetic. They RE-BRAND and over charge for Mineral, Semi, and Full. Trust me, there are better, cheaper oils. We are in full agreement about the K & N though. Very good filters. Yamalube Oil
