highway

hey guys looking for advice on a 06 fz6 w/ 14k on it. had the bike about a month now and ive noticed a slightly scary wobble in what seems like the front end when at highway speeds ie 120-140 kph. ive checked the front wheel bearing and it seems good. front tire has a date of 29/10 after the dot...

Noticed a weird squeaky, siren-like sound at highway speeds near the front of the bike. Thought it was the front bearing so had the replace and still hear it. Any ideas?

Think I just added another ride to my Bucket List: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Arm2YoKYQI :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

I'm planning a ride in a couple weeks. A couple of you mentioned a road off of Highway 36 and/or Highway 299 in Northern California and I was wondering what the name of the road was. I'm thinking of heading from Happy Camp to Willow Creek on Highway 299. I'd like to cut down to HIghway 36...

I did it! I got away with a lady rider friend for the weekend. We left Reno early Saturday morning (7:30am) and headed North into California. We took Highway 70 to Quincy. We saw some smoke from a fire near there, but not bad. Then we took highway 89 to Lake Almanor. It had a lot of...

Finally got to go for a ride with a friend of mine who bought the same bike as mine and her new boyfriend. We rode from Reno. NV to Downieville, CA via I-80 to Highway 89 to Highway 49. This harsh winter did the road no favors. The canyon area still had snow on the shady side of the...

Hi all, still did not get a chance to test drive, but I am happy that it fits. I'll post some picks later and a review on how it performs next week. Hopefully it will get rid of the turbulence and provide some calm winds. I do a lot of highway driving and it becomes very tiresome trying to keep...

Does anyone have any experience in going up 1 tooth on the front sprocket? Does it help with the economy and engine RPM for highway speed? If so, how bad does it hinder performance? Thanks for your time and expertise!

It was Labor Day weekend in the US this weekend. No work Monday!! YES!! I got a lot of work done around the house, but I got to get out and ride too. I am hosting a Bridal Shower for 30+ women at my house in two weeks. Our daughter is getting married in October. Lots of yard work which...

I have been slowly fixing up my FZ since I bought it. It has 37500 miles on it, so I know there is some work to be done. On to the next problem, on decelerating I get a single massive backfire. This is shotgun level loud, people freak out if they are next to me. This happens easier when cold...

So we did it. 4 days, 1411 miles. It was exhausting, but we had a blast! Found some good roads. Unfortunately, it seems like in Oregon you have to pay a penance of long boring roads to get to the good roads, but it is worth it when you get there. Here goes... We left Reno Thursday...

So, the hubby and I are riding from Reno, NV to Crater Lake area July 16-19. We want to ride around Crater Lake and then some nice twisties. We are thinking of spending first night at Klamath Falls. We already rode 139 from Susanville to Klamath Falls. We are looking for a different route...

I was just wondering if anyone has figured out an economical highway peg solution for stretching out a bit on longer rides? I know you can mount foldable pegs on engine guards or crashbars, but that increases the price dramatically. Is there a quick and easy way to bolt on some pegs or mount...

A little background for those of you not familiar with Northern Nevada/Northern California history. The Donner party was a pioneer group attempting to reach California Gold Rush in 1800's. Almost all perished in a horrible winter with snowdrifts up to 20 feet deep. Many reports of cannibalism...

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...

Tesla reveals the D - All-wheel-drive - Oct. 10, 2014 For a mere $14,000 more (putting the price at just north of 6 figures), you can upgrade your Model S to a Model D. It has dual electric motors (so now 4-wheel drive) giving an acceleration of Zero to Sixty in 3.2 seconds!!! That's faster...

Well, Last thursday some friends and I headed Westbound for the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. We'd been planning the trip for a while and it was finally time to head out. Thursday after work, we headed out and made it to Madison where we stayed the night at a friends house. Friday AM we...
