    Have you replaced your clutch plates? How many miles?

    I know these things aren't supposed to last forever, but I haven't seen much about clutches on these forums. If you have replaced your clutch parts, or even just deglazed them, I'd find it helpful to know how many miles in. I'm getting a little clutch slippage sometimes on my 2004 with 38,000...

    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...

    Funny grinding/clicking under hard acceleration

    As title, there is often a few clicky sounds under hard acceleration from a stop light. I didn't find out about it until I changed my chain recently, as there was other noise from the worn chain (apparently) that was masking it. I did not change the sprockets, because they actually still look...
