    Engine Power

    I would look into getting a 520 chain conversion kit with a -1 front +2 rear sprockets. Lose rotating mass and gain gear should help a lot. Gear gets you to the top speed a lot faster. You aren't even close to the top speed of stock gears so you are waisting all that is left when you start...

    vacation ideas

    Thanks everyone for the great ideas. Tripadvisor is great for people opinions but you have to have a curtain resort in mind to look up and read reviews. Never thought much about europe but will definitely check into it.

    FZ6 with open stock exhaust

    Sign In Sign In Sign In Not sure if I pasted the pics in here right but this is what I did with my exhaust a couple weeks ago. I put packing all around the tubes then sealed it up. I have not been able to ride it to hear how it sounds yet but I like how it sounds in the garage.

    Help, new rider tech question.

    on motorcycles you must engage each gear to be able to go into the next gear because it is a sequential gearbox and needs this action to line up the teeth and move thru the gears. be sure to let out the clutch in each gear while upshifting and downshifting. welcome to the forum

    Crankcase...failure

    if you use an impact wrench on a torx bit it has been my experience that you just break the torx bit. make sure the torx bit is tight in the bolt and all the way in to limit the chance of it spinning in the bolt head. they shouldn't be so tight you can't get them out by hand. just breaking...
