For those of you that check the slack in your chain, do you notice that these bikes have alot of slack? My reason for asking is when I was getting the bike safetied the mechanic who is a friend pointed out the chain seems really loose, but that he didnt know for sure because he doesnt know the...

I'm guessing the relay blew, but how does a relay blow on a relatively new bike with very low miles. I have a half dozen bikes with over 100k miles each with everything intact. Anyone have an autoparts store part number?

So the past 3.5 my FZ6 has been my commuter and occasional 2up bike. I'm toying with the idea of replacing it with something a little more comfortable, for both longer solo rides and light 2up touring. I've experimented with 3 different seats and 2 different handlebars and risers on my FZ6...

Came across this video today. It's pretty cool! Crazy to actually see how fast our bikes are moving inside! https://youtu.be/nsa6kq-qqIE Edit: overHEAD cam at 14k rpm

Hi Everyone! My name is Nick from Sacramento, California and I recently picked up a red 2006 FZ-6 with 22k miles on it and I love it so far. My previous bikes: many dirt bikes throughout high school and college, then to a ninja 250, then a Vstar 1300 cruiser, and now the FZ-6. So far the FZ-6 is...

Now this looks cool. Too bad they left the digital gauges in place. Sheesh. Shinya Kimura's I'd love to see Yamaha put out a lighter weight, less expensive version of the BMW R Nine-T. While the BMW is way overpriced for what it is, it's one of the best looking bikes out these days...

Hi everyone I just joined recently and have found so much info here already I bought my 2008 fz6s 2 months ago and it's my first full size bike, after riding low powered bikes for the last few years I really love the extra hp the fz6 has. Only 1 pic so far but I'll add more when I have...

My question is, is a reinforcement of chassis (or mainframe) necessary to strengthen the frame's integrity and stability for touring at higher speeds? Much like planes which get spotted for cracks on the fuselage, patched and re-painted a couple times throughout their 30-40 yr lifespan, does...

Earlier this week there was a major fire at a Danish car and motorcycle dealer. They stored about 140 bikes for costumers during the winther... I hope everyone (the shop included) has got some serious insurance! With so many bikes there were without doubt several custom bikes... Right now I...

So, I begged and pleaded (not really) and got my way. We packed up the bikes in our cargo trailer and trailered them to Napa, CA from Reno, NV (Donner Summit is always dicey in the winter). I really wanted to try out my new 2-piece leathers for the track that I got for Christmas. It was 16...

On another forum, someone brought up the new 300cc bikes available from the usual suspects and KTM. Given KTM's reliability issues and anorexic dealer network, they are completely out of consideration for me. I also am not a fan of one cylinder road bikes, so that rules out Honda's offering...

Here's an article by Visordown listing the largest number of bikes involved in a recall: Visordown TheTPS recall is on the number 5 spot, probably due to the number of different types of bikes involved.

Sold!!! Selling my Ram Mount Universal X-Grip IV Large & Small Phone/Phablet Holder setup. Fits our bikes, and many others! Includes everything you need for our bikes. I was using it this setup with my Note 3. This setup will work with the new Note 4, Nexus 6, Iphone 6 Plus, and most phones...

Yesterday I signed on to a ride with motormaatje (a website where you can join a ride one of the other members has posted, or post your own,) it was a bit last minute but it was near where I live (the start was only a half hour from my home). Anyway it was a large group (over 26 bikes) and we...

With the exception of this forum :thumbup:, what else are you reading for info and moto-tainment? I spend 2-4 hrs. daily reading anything and everything motorcycle related. RideApart, Superbike School, ADV Rider, Motorcyclist/CycleWorld/Fast Bikes etc. Not to mention the Vids on YouTube...

Have you ever been to a Golf pro, Tennis pro or any other expert that wants to reveal all of your bad habits, analyze them, and try to help you fix them through numerous different methods? Motorcycles are no different. That is exactly what happened to me when I took part in a two day Superbike...
