    Anybody try Caltric clutch (amazon)

    I'm just skeptical of a $50 dollar clutch. I don't roll burnies or rip wheelies, but how long could it last for $50? My stocker is just over 75k miles and I figure it may be time to put the old horse down. Anyone have a source for a solid clutch for a couple more bucks?

    Ignition replacement

    I recently saw a video, "4 common problems with the FZ6!" by calvin mc. In this video he proposes finding a retrofit for our admittedly budget ignition system with a coil on plug system for improved ignition efficiency. I tried searching to see if this has been approached on here but didn't see...

    No power to headlight.

    I recently went on a nearly 2 hour ride at highway speeds. When I returned I noticed when it got dark I had no headlight. I checked the fuse and it was popped. Thought all is well, replaced the fuse, and still no headlight. Now, the fuse remains unpopped, but no light. There was some corrosion...

    R6S fork maintenance items compatibility.

    Do R6S bushings, oil and dust seals, etc match up with fz6 fork components? Having a hard time finding "FZ6" rebuild kits, but R6S kits are available for $40-$70 and look really similar. I've tried the search with several combinations and permutations of fz6 r6s fork maintenance compatible and...

    Longest road trip?

    Looking for people either to meet up with or maybe potentially let me catch some winks in their driveway. (Or if something breaks, have a safe harbor in which to fix things.) I'm going just north of Milwaukee WI to San Diego CA in September and looking for friendly faces along the way. Any tips...

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    Rhymes with brewed. Is there a way to replace the component on the back of the tachometer, or am I looking at a new cluster? If I'm stuck buying a new cluster, does anyone have any suggestions under $200? Lower is better.

    Rubber problems

    Just got a euro FZ6N headlight "kit" and it is evident (and verified elsewhere) there should be some rubber bits between the headlight body and the sides which hold the indicators. What are they called and where can I source them? The kit didn't include them and they are being a nightmare.

    Maintenance meet up... TB synch

    Looking to meet up with someone who has experience doing throttle body synch's, and get my fueling squared away. Other than my appreciation we could work something out.

    Finally getting new chain/ sprockets

    Is anyone in the SE WI area and would be willing to help me swap my chain and sprockets? I can't complain as it's been 40k miles on the originals from new. :) I've already got the sprockets and chain (stayed with factory ratio and chain size) so all I'd really need is a little guidance and a...

    Brake pad recommendations

    Anyone used these volar brake pad sets sold by d2moto on amazon? Super cheap, but if they work I'll get two. If they are truly garbage (which is where I'm thinking) where do you guys get your pads from? Tried using the search function but when "Brake" has no matching results I'm doing something...

    Who wants to make a buddy?

    Would anyone be willing to meet up and/or walk me through the maintenance items I have neglected? It's an '08 and as far as I know, original fluids, cables, and lines. What I was thinking is a new clutch cable (feels really stretched), coolant flush, brake fluid bleed/fill. Anything else I...

    trip meter fail

    I've tried searching for it three or four times to no avail. Since utilizing a naked kit popular on here, my trip meters reset every time the ignition is turned off. Upon starting the bike again the trip a and b both read 0.0 I'm clueless, so any information would be much appreciated. Could it...

    HID kit buddy?

    I'm entertaining the idea of getting an HID kit with projector lense, but I'm kinda turned off by the idea of having doubles of everything. Anyone, preferably someone with a better knowledge of what is involved, who would want to get the kit and split parts cost? Once again, just...

    Weight+style vs. mileage

    I'm curious about this because I was reading the 15t front sprocket thread, and someone reported having the smaller front sprocket and still getting roughly 60 miles per gallon. I have a stock setup, ride it like a total (meow), and very seldomly ride two up... I usually get about 48-52 mpg...

    Hey all, I have a ballistics question for ya! not only external but internal as well! First off I'll present the question... What is the difference in muzzle velocity between a 26" and 28" barrel when using a black powder substitute? The load charge is 120-125 (for operator error) grains loose...

    Blinker PROB's

    Recently installed a clear alternatives LED brake light / blinker eliminator, and the right side works beautifully in tandem with the stock units. The left side is another story, only the stock unit works, while the tail only dims slightly. We crossed the right male to the left female, and the...

    SuperDuke 990

    I know about how awesome (although illegal) KTM's commercials are, but I was wondering if anyone had some real world experience with their bikes? Long and short of it, is I've been pinching pennies and finally have a few to rub together. Any reviews positive or negative would be great! (Kinda...

    Dear SOB

    Dear SOB who almost hit me and took off, I really appreciated how you nearly Tboned me at the WI Dells intersection, sent me into oncoming traffic, and sent me sideways at 30-35mph face first into the concrete. Luckily, as you were driving off my girlfriend rode my body to a sliding stop, so...
