    Smell of raw gas after rides

    So I did a search here on the subject and although some issues are similar, I just wanted to throw my particulars in there to see if the issue can be diagnosed better or just left alone. Bought my 08 last November with 7260 miles on it and just hit 9000 over the weekend. The only engine/exhaust...

    06 FZ6 Overhaul (primary)

    So, not so long ago in a town far too far away... I was an owner of a pretty good looking 06 FZ6. Got it in 2010 for 5k and was a summer rider (Washington state isnt exactly a year round riding state). A couple years ago, I had moved and with it wanted to overhaul the bike. Sadly though, it...

    No more FZ6

    Sold the FZ6 and decided to step into the world of dual sports. Here's my newest bike. It's an 08 DR-z400s. Has 52k miles, but the engine was rebuilt around 15k ago. Hell, even if it wasn't, it's a thumper. I can rebuild the top end with a few hundred dollars and a couple of hours. Lot's...

    Couple of new things

    Been quite a while since posting anything. Just finished a couple small things. Did the pod light mod and painted the winscreen, it was pretty faded so until I can get a new one figured I would paint it. Not too bad for first time painting something like that. Posting the link to the pics.
