Its something most of us never think about or ever replace on a bike. Oddly I believe mine is failing.
It usually warms up pretty quick, within 2ish miles of riding with a good 30 seconds of idle while I finish gearing up but lately I have been able to make it to work (~6) miles and the temp...
I don't know what brand of windscreen this is up for sale, but it's been used on my bike for a few thousand miles. It has some blemishes, but nothing major.

Hey guys. Learning my bike and getting familiar with the little things and wanted to see if what I'm experiencing is normal.
At highway speeds there is a very subtle vibration in the grips, not even bothersome nor that noticeable with gloves. Seems to happen in the 7-8k range and is more...
Doing valve checks on a new to me bike with 32k miles. PO only had it for about 2k miles and when I asked about it, he didn't even know what valve clearance was. Wondering if the first owner did it/had it done and it was screwed away. These numbers most are at or over the upper limit. Its my...
Rode ~260 miles of really twisted roads this past weekend and when we stopped I noticed the front tire of the Triumph 675 had maybe used 2/3 of the tire while the back was like mine with maybe an 1/4" of chicken.
The Two FZs and the Brutale had used much more of the front tire.
Point: is the...

Good evening guys and gals! I recently bought a FZ6 and I am just taking this opportunity to introduce myself. This is my ride below and after buying the bike it developed a electrical fault which had me going round in circles. Now it's fixed I cannot wait to put some miles on her riding two and...
tires, and a heck of a ride
First what tires do you guys recommend for spirited riding, bike currently has battle axes which did okay. But I would like something a little more performance oriented but will last more than 3k miles.
Now for the ride part.
Went on a ride with an r6 and a...
the intake specifications says it should be between 0.13 and 0.20. Most of them are at 0.13. What shall I do? leave them or because they are basically at the limit of the specification, pretend they are let's say 0.10 and change the shims?
I don't want to have to re open the engine again in a...
I've owned it for almost 5 years and bought it from the dealer (the previous owner was the original owner and traded in). Bought with 3800 miles. I've babied this bike. Changed the synthetic oil religiously, lubed the chain every 500 miles, and all cables lubed last year. Motul blue dot 4 brake...
So I have done a search on the site and a google search to find a answer but most answers I found were 7-10 years old.
The quick story...I have been running K&N oil filter and Rotella T6 5w-40 for almost 2500 miles. Bike is almost due for an oil change. Would it be a bad thing to run the...

Me again, slipping clutch. (solved)
I didn't have a service history for my 1998 FZS600 Fazer so when I got her with 24,081 miles on the clock I changed the oil and filter, I had a few battery problems but by yesterday I had her running so I was straight out for a ride.
At first I didn't...
I have a 2008 FZ6 with only 5000 miles on it.. I have replaced the oil (a couple of times) now running Motul 7100 and just changed the Coolant with Engine Ice. What else would you suggest for a low mile bike but 7 years old? Reason I ask is that it seems to be running a bit rough lately and also...

Hi guys :Sport:
Been really busy with my new job so can't post or lurk as much but its nice to be here today. My bike is a '07 FZ6 i bought with 6700 miles on it 15 months ago with an unknown maintenance history. I change the oil and coolant (once on the coolant) and lube the cables and take...
First off, what an amazing tire! I commute pretty much everyday, all year long, on my FZ. No matter the weather, hot or cold, (light)rain or sun, I'm taking the Fz to school or work.
The wet/rain capability of the pr4's is quite impressive. I've never once felt a slip or had moments of...
I've been wanting to try the Angel GT's really since they came out ~2 years ago.
After having 2 sets of Pilot Road 2's with great success (12k plus miles on each set), I wanted to try something different
Please tell me what you think of:
- Performance - how well you think they stick in corners...
