    SW-Motech Center Stand Installation - How To

    The side stand makes it easier to use, in my opinion. This is how I do it. I dismount bike with the side stand down. At this point I either leave the side stand down or put it up; just depends. I then ease the bike over and balance it. Then, I push the center stand down with my right foot until...

    Yamaha Canada Center Stand

    It's difficult to tip it over, therefore you can leave the bike parked with more confidence. ( soft asphalt, curiosity seekers, small children, wind, etc… ) It also makes access to parts of the motorcycle easier and safer. I wouldn't own a bike without one. I ordered mine from Twisted Throttle.

    What is your GPS setup?

    What model number is that? I like the way you have it mounted. Are you satisfied, or would you change anything?

    when you think it wouldnt happen to you and...BAM!

    Yes I am, which is why I know what I'm talking about. I am licensed in the state of Tennessee only, and therefore I can not give legal advice on any matter other than one occurring in Tennessee. I'm not using this forum in my capacity as an attorney. Quite frankly, I have more business now than...

    when you think it wouldnt happen to you and...BAM!

    I turn down someone at least once a week after listening to their facts and realizing they don't need me to settle their case. Get a free consultation from a qualified attorney before you try to settle your case. As I posted before, you can listen and then decide whether or not you want to hire...

    1st maintenance 600miles yourself or dealership

    Get the dealer to do it. They are going to check and make sure that the the bike is settling in properly. If there is an issue, and it surfaces within the warranty period, how are you going to explain to them that the reason they didn't have the opportunity to catch it early is because you...

    when you think it wouldnt happen to you and...BAM!

    If you settle on the bike, they will require you to release them of their liability. You cash that check, it's game over. The lawyer may be willing to handle the case on a sliding scale (if they settle prior to trial their % of the recovery is less). Remember, the adjuster gets rewarded for...

    when you think it wouldnt happen to you and...BAM!

    This will be my last post on the matter. Get a free consultation with a qualified attorney. You can make up your own mind as to whether or not you want them to represent you after you get their analysis of the totality of the case.There are many types of damages, and unless you are an expert on...

    when you think it wouldnt happen to you and...BAM!

    Contact a local attorney immediately. You need to get a physical examination done to ascertain whether or not you have a latent injury. The trade in/ resale value of your bike is now $0.00 ( diminution of value ). A good attorney will consult with you for free and will not get paid unless you...

    Anybody use deer whistles?

    Made the right decision

    Every motorcycle is a compromise in some way or another. Looking at the bike as a whole, the FZ6R may be the best all-round motorcycle ever. It does a lot of things extremely well, and can do just about anything with some degree of proficiency. If this bike had ABS, my head would explode with...

    Good location for an air horn - FZ6R

    OFF TOPIC Heineken, did you ever install the Kaoko cruise control and or the Motech GPS holder? If you went an alternative route, I'd like to know what you did and your opinion(s). Thanks.

    Auxilary lights?

    Check out the Denali lights on Twisted Throttle's website. The other quality option is PIAA, however, they seem to be behind the technology curve with regards to L.E.D. . As soon as I get some distance between my last mod and my next (wife), Denali's will be installed on my bike. Let me know...
