I had a similar situation happen to me back in August last year. The only difference is that my bike would spin over and then drop off so much that it would just click. I took it out of the bike and left it sit over night because I was pissed. The next morning I put it on my bike charger and the...

As far as why you lost it I can tell you for sure that it was the tires not being broken in. My friend rides a ninja 650r and he had the same tires on when he ate it on a low speed turn non the less. For some reason Michelin tires require closer to 125 miles of break in. Don't ask me why bcuz I...

pearl white In all honesty, I get more compliments from guys on cruisers. Most sportbike riders keep telling me that I need to remove the decals. I personally like some kind of design verses a large blank canvas, kinda seems like something is missing without the flames. That's why I left mine...

First warm day this year my friend and I took a quick hop to the local electronics store, when we left he was behind me bcuz I was going to show him the long, fun way through the back roads. I took off and got up to 35 mph (the speed limit in that development) and just as we passed the bank a...

cuoldn't agree more on the wind Yeah, it's never a fun day when you have to try and compensate for wind speed. You can't hang it in the turns with any confidence because all it takes is one quick gust and you could be in for a world of hurt. My semi-daily ride back and forth to class includes...

first bike I don't consider myself a highly experienced rider, to date I really only have about 4 yrs worth of seat time. My first bike was a hand down from my dad, 1981 Yamaha 650 Maxim, it weighed the same as the 6R and had close to the same powerband. When I first started looking for a new...

friends first ride I know this thread is supposed to be about our mishaps but this one feels like I could have prevented it. My friend had just bought a used Ninja 650r and got it inspected and road ready. I have been riding for four years at this point, but he had just started riding. We left...

holy shit Not that this is a reflection of all of them, but go figure it was a woman driver. like I said not a reflection on them all just 99% of them. I'm an ass. most likely she was putting on her makeup on the way to work. kinda surprised that she didn't get out and start yelling at him for...

colors Honestly I don't know what the big deal is, I was originally going to get the yellow fz6r but when I saw the white with tribes I bought it. Be a man and ride a pink bike. except that it is really mostly white so.....Grow a pair and ride what you love.

no joke, spent two hours going over mine after break in service. it's pretty bad when you can't even trust a certified tech to do their job.

Muse - Uprising. This one seems to be stuck in my head more than others.

It works The relay on the website above is a direct fit for our bikes and it actually works. :D:D:D about damn time!!!!!!!!

Didn't see FZ6R on the compatibility list. Think I should still go for it??? Haven't ordered the resistors yet.

I found these when I was buying my tail light the other day. RESISTOR TO SLOW LED SIGNAL FLASH RATE (PAIR) I'm going to order them now that I am certain the proton flushies cause my rear incandescent turn signals to flash twice as fast. Hope to god it works or I'm going to scrap the idea...

mom!?!?!?!?!
