    Don't Ignore your gauges!

    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...

    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...

    valve checks

    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...

    Front Chicken of Street 675 vs FZ and Brutale

    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...

    24,000 miles valve clearance advice

    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...

    Oil filter life question

    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...

    Age vs. Miles

    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...

    PR4 Front 12.5k miles

    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...
