    Anyone here ever attempted to repair cracked plasic on their bike? Previous owner dropped it and put a couple cracks in the upper fairing. Nothing serious, I could leave it and be just fine. But if it isn't a total PITA I might try repairing this winter. I have a small dent in the tank I may...

    Fuel Pump Rebuild?

    Picked up a neglected but running 04 FZ6. Worst rust I've ever seen in a gas tank, there must be two pounds of it in there. Fuel was pouring out the front top of the tank at every stop where dozens of bubbles under the paint were bursting and seeping fuel. Ebay yielded a decent tank and you...

    Free Fuel Tank off of 2006 Blue FZ6

    Free fuel tank. I bought it off eBay because I was going to put it on my old 2006 Blue FZ6 but sold the bike before I ever had a chance to swap tanks. Since then it's just been sitting in my closet for the last couple years. It is in pretty good condition but it is used so expected wear and it...

    Cosmetics - Sticker Removal

    Itty bitty trivial issue.. This past weekend I decided to remove the warning sticker about "read the manual and wear a helmet" that was mounted on the gas tank just forward of the fill cap. It was getting yellowed from spills. So I took a razor blade to it then used mineral spirits to rub...

    Thermostat Replacement on an S1

    For Christmas this year I bought myself a shiny new thermostat (part # 5SL-12410-00-00) for about $20 on Ron Ayers. I was convinced mine was stuck open, since I've been riding in the cold lately and it takes forever to get her warmed up, and fuel mileage has definitely taken a hit. In fact...
