In the graduating to bike thread I saw someone post that the Super Tenere would be their next bike. I've had mine on order since Sept and I keep getting more and more anxious as May dawns closer. I'm not going to sell m FZ since I own it, just switch my insurance to liability (why not keep it...

I just completed assembly of a Buell headlight mod after rear-ending someone at low speed, effectively destroying the front end. Its been roughly a month since the collision with no starts and roughly 2 weeks of that month with the speedo and its harness out. After the collision the bike ran...

So on my way home I noticed my brake light didn't work at all, even with both brakes applied (so no . I did lay the bike down on the right side a week and a half ago, ended up bending the rear brake lever inward a bit, Monday was my first time out since then. TBH I dont remember if it worked...

Just as the title says. I had a police officer pull me over and nicely tell me it wasn't working last night. Luckily there was no ticket! Anyway I was thinking it would just be a bulb replacement but I wanted to make sure before I go buy one. Will just a bulb do the trick?

Well the end of this month should be my detach date and im going from NAS Pensacola in Pensacola, FL (Which i hate. FL is absolutely horrible) to San Diego at NAS North Island for school and my ultimate duty station. Right now Im trying to find a place fro me and my wife to live but once we get...

A few months ago I purchased an 05 fizzer and the prev owner said he didnt get the 8k service done. it now has 10.5k and im thinking of doing the 8 and 12k services in one hit myself since most of the stuff is a repeat according to the manual. Im also gunna swap all my cables, all my brake...

So i have this leak i presume is still going on. I am keeping tabs on the oil level and it isnt going down but it looks like its getting just a little dirtier as the days go by. Ive just looked over it, but not very hard. I kinda dont wanna start pulling stuff off because i dont have any...

so has anyone ever thought of replacing the FZs ancient cable clutch with a hydraulic clutch? Ive been looking on the net for a kit but all i can find are for dirtbikes. Im wondering if one would work like the Magura HYMEC kit...

Its that time now, my bike asked me when I was gunna buy it some new kicks (shoes, tires, rubber, etc.) and I told it as soon as I can afford some. Unfortunately I dont have a tire mounting set or the room for one (since i live in a military barracks at NAS PCola). Would anyone in the area be...

So, while fantasizing about my next 600 to buy I was idly browsing the Honda site and saw that the CBR600RR now comes with ABS! A track bike comes with ABS while our street/commuter orientated FZ6 doesnt! It is 2009 afterall Yamaha!

Granted I havent spent a whole lotta time exploring the regions around PC, the one trip I made on I-10 to Mosspoint Mississippi didnt show me anything much in the way of interesting terrain. Im from WA, just moved down here, so I'm used to, well spoiled with, twisty roads through the Cascades...

Have any of you guys actually geared your bikes for higher speed? While traveling on the freeway today where the speedlimit is 70, my bike had to be around 6k rpm to keep at a speed where i didnt have people on my tail the whole time. I was thinking of changing out sprockets to keep the rpms...

So I decided to check the oil for the time since Ive owned it (2 1/2 weeks) and after I got off and put it on its center stand I unscrewed the dipstick and oil came gushing out. I immediately stuck it back in. I waited about 5-7 minutes and retried hoping it was just because it just turned...

I cant put the bike on its centerstand :( I have this fear of it falling over when I try to rock it back so I dont ever use it. Id like to to make the chain easier to lube but I dont want my new (to me) bike to take a tumble. So lets hear it from the pros!

So, I was reading the service manual to look into balancing the TBs when I install a 12v socket for gadgets and I noticed that it states that you need to drain the tank in order to remove it. The only other bike Ive ever pulled the tank off of was my KX80 when I was younger. My idea is to take...

So, i just bought an 05 FZ6 and I've noticed that the throttle sticks and is more difficult to turn than i would expect. I searched the forums and consulted a service manual that I downloaded and I cant find what would cause this or how to possibly remove or replace the throttle cables. Any...
