Yes it was the Yamaha dealer in Antigohish, Nova Scotia, Canada. I did send Yamaha Canada a letter and I also mentioned that the two new bikes I bought from them were scratched when I bought them. The dealer scratched the tank using a razor blade to take the warning stickers of the tank for me...
I think it is a good idea to check the bike over for anything that could be wrong. Bolts can loosen from vibration or just not being tightened properly. You may need new tires. Just because they still have tread does not mean they are good.
Run the palm of your hand alone the tread and see if...
I just put a pair of Metzler Sportec M5 Interact tires on and I really like them. The bike feels much better in the turns than the Bridgestones that it came with. Got the pair for $380 CAD taxes in. Check them out on there site. They are Metzler's newest tires.:thumbup:
I bought new tires last week and when they came in I went to have them put on at the Yamaha dealer. They are a new dealer in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. When I took my wheels in they were clean with no marks on them. I asked them if they had a tire changer for motorcycles and they said they did. I...
I just got a set of FZ1 bars. They were under $50 new. I like them better than the ones that it came with. Still comfortable setting upright and a lot better when laying over the tank. You have to drill a hole in the throttle side to make it fit before you put them on though. No big deal.
I just sold one of my handguns to buy a dirt bike. Now I decided to wait a while on the dirt bike so I can do a few things to my FZ6. So I just ordered a new set of Metzler M5 tires, a Puig racing windshield, a speedohealer, and FZ1 drag bars.
I can't wait to get them!:BLAA: Theres snow on the...
Sorry to hear about your bike. I know how you feel. My sister in law backed her car into my brand new bike and knocked it over in the yard. It wouldn't have been as bad if she didn't just leave and call my brother about twenty minutes later and tell him. She is off my Christmas list let me tell...
I would take the parking space because if you bike ever does get hit by someone the insurance company will ask you where you were parked and if it was in a marked parking space. My truck was hit at the bank one day when I was setting in it waiting for my friend. This is when I found this out. I...
I think it is a worth while mod from what I see on there site. I may have to upgrade the fork springs as well. I would like to be able to adjust the tension on them. I think the brace will help in other ways the fork kit will not. Thanks for your input folks. I will let you guys know what I...
LOOK GREAT MAN! I can't wait to do it to mine. When you turn it all the way it doesn't hit the tank does it? I think it will feel much better. Nice Photos!
I been thinking real hard about putting the drag bars on too. I like that I can set upright on the bike but when I lay down on her I would like the bars a little lower. I have seen others have this mod so I guess they must not hit the tank. They are under $50 from the Yamaha dealer so there a...
If I go with an internal upgrade what should I get done to it? I know of a place in the city that rebuilds shocks and forks. I guess they would know what I need done. I would like to have it rebuilt so I can adjust it.
I think I will get a superbrace for my bike. I think it would make a big difference in the way it handles. I was going 100 klm/hr the other day when I hit a rough spot on the road and it went into a bad speed wobble. I got her to come out of it ok but I really hate when that happens. Went into...
