    Question about throttle - stop throttle cable

    Hello, When I bought my FZ6 S2 2008, I increase idle RPM by screw for stop "cradle" throttle cable. (see photo). I don't know whether it is good solution. I will be glad if you tell me how difference is between setting "stop screw" and original setting screw for idle RPM. (see second...

    clicky/crunchy noise when accelerating from stop

    I could have sworn I'd posted about this here before, but I can't find the thread and it's bothering me again, so . . . Yeah, as I let the clutch out accelerating away from a stop, there's this little set of clicks that I haven't been able to figure out. My chain is only a few thousand miles...

    Pilot scheme in Austria

    In Austria there have been some new (oval) road markings appearing, these are supposed to stop bike riders hugging the centre lines in the bends, which apparantly is a cause for many accidents in Austria. Here's the (German) story. Neue Bodenmarkierungen für Motorradfahrer « DiePresse.com

    best DC motorcycle clothing/gear store near Wash DC?

    Hey all DC-area riders (including VA/MD) - my brother is going to be in Annapolis in a few days, and will be driving back through DC. He needs to score some boots and pants - big guy/wide feet, so he's preferring to try something on vs. doing mailorder a la Revzilla. Any suggestions for the...

Mind you this is 22,XXX miles and 5 years later and its the first time I've dropped her. :(:( Although I did find her resting on her side once as the centerstand sank in the hot...

    Clicking when Braking Hard

    Last summer I had my steering bearing replaced together with a set of Racetech fork suspension. The fork seal and oil were replaced at the same time. A few weeks after, it started getting a click sound when braking hard to a stop. It clicks right before a full stop / or at the point of...

    Safe while stopped? Think again

    I'm usually worried about people coming up on my 6 every time I stop, now I have to start worrying about the vehicles coming from my 12 in REVERSE! After watching the vehicle, there is a chance that I would have not seen the car reversing since I normally would be watching my six, but if I did...

    Motor stop

    Hi everyone, my FZ6 engine stop sometimes for no reason. The TPS has been changed. Do you think that the key could be the problem? The kill switch is clean. Rectifier? Injector?
