    Bad clutch basket? Symptoms? How many miles do you have?

    I was just infomed by my mech that my clutch basket should be replaced. My bike has 26k miles of smooth riding, clutch was never dumped to pop a wheelie etc. Last bike that I got up to that mileage had clutch "as new" (as possible) when inspected (a ninja 650r). The reason I brought the bike...

    For sale: 2007 Yamaha FZ1 - Central NJ

    SOLD I was thinking to hold on to this bike, now that I bought a 2015 FJR, but I think I'll need to let it go. It served me incredibly well for 4+ seasons. Bike has never been dropped. 33,9XX miles on odometer. Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires have 2.5k miles on them (I got 12k miles out of my last...

    2007 FZ1 - Mods and luggage

    My FZ1 is for sale, I've moved on to a bigger and more powerful summer daily driver. I've owned several bikes and this is one I kept for more than a season or two. I put ~25k miles on it, daily driver and travel touring for 4+ seasons. It'll be sad to see it go. Price is updated on the...

    Oil change drastically affect clutch?

    Picked up a horribly neglected 05FZ6 with 23k on it. After a few hundred miles and everything seemed OK pulled some maintenance on it. Changed all the fluids new plugs and fix a bunch of piddly stuff. And after changing the oil I put about 50 miles on it and gained a lot of free play in the...

    Would you rather... 2004 FZ6 vs. 2006 SV1000s

    So, I have the chance to acquire my friend's 2006 SV1000s for a song. It currently has about 6,000 miles on it and has always been garage kept and barely ridden. To sum up the circumstances, he moved away and left the bike in my garage for me to either sell for him or buy from him. I would...

    Donner Pass, Mineral Bay, Hwy 49 Downieville

    Hit the Sierras this Saturday, just a quick 200ish mile ride. This was the first time that I really had a chance to see what the Multi could do. Hwy 49 was the right road to find out. I guess I was in Doug's(Red Wasp) backyard . The Ninja 900 has 99k miles and the BMW1000R is new, just 1400...

    New FZ Owner

    My garage just lost a little bit more space. I picked up an 05 yesterday. So far it's exactly what I was looking for I'd say. A more upright sitting bike that still has some gittyup & go to it. All I've done so far is ride 70 miles in the rain though so we'll see after I get a few more miles...

    Wrecked '07FZ6-Is it time to streetfighter?

    Hey All! A few months ago y'all were very kind in welcoming me and giving me advice on how to handle my new FZ6. Unfortunately, it's now half of an FZ6. The skinny of it is a pedestrian ran out in front me crossing a five lane road, and I was met with the classic "squirrel crossing the...

    Hello guys, The weather puts a smile on my face, as we went for the first ride of this year, Old US 18 and US 181; the roads are so empty, we sport/street bikers are just flying :D Anyway, I have a few questions about our girlfriends. ;) 1. Vibrations in the rear view mirrors (OEM FZ09...

    A couple of questions

    Hey guys, Just joined the forum, name is Chris for London. Got my FZ6 S2 a few days back and it's approaching 16K miles. Was wondering if there is anything in particular I should be aware of or any usual issues that come out around that mileage. I will be changing tyres, so any...

    Another FZ6

    I am back on a Fz6! This will be my 3rd FZ6 and I am pumped to be back on one. Call me crazy but I am coming off a 2005 Honda VFR that I put 30k miles on in two years. I for sure thought that the VFR would have been my last bike for a while, however I could not pass up the FZ6. It's a 2008 in...

    Turn signals blown.....it's not the fuse.

    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?

    crashed...

    I went out for a ride today. It was 70 degrees and I figured there aren't too many nice days left for the year. I did quite a bit of spirited riding, and in general had a good time. Stopped and filled up the bike, after putting a solid 100 miles on. Did a little cruising around town before...

    100,000 miles fz6

    I recently went over 100,000 miles on my FZ6. I bought it new in April of 2009 as a leftover 2008 model. I use non-synthetic oil and change about every 4000 miles. Here is a condensed highlight of some of the bigger maintenance items during that time: 26,464 miles: brake fluid, coolant...
