Absolutely. You will be able to find compatible parts to keep your FZ6R running strong for quite some time. NGK CR9E represent.

I ride with a +1 front sprocket and still managed to accidentally wheelie during a brief road rage mistake...smashed my balls so hard against the tank I almost puked in my helmet. Sprockets aren't too difficult to change, so try the -1 front first and if it is still not enough then add the +2...

Yep, new sprockets and chain are due this summer. The last time I replaced them I just re-used the same crankshaft nut and the "key" you hammer into the crankshaft slit probably gave up the ghost. Lesson learned. Kinda makes me want to drill a hole and install a cotter pin, but I bet it takes...

I keep a small digital camera velcro'd to my tank bag. I made the on/off button easier to operate wearing gloves by adding a bit of epoxy, and the shutter button is big. The camera fits right there between the voice recorder and the solar charger: It makes for interesting road trip...

A couple weeks ago I did a bit of mental math and realized I had a once in a lifetime shot at mileage glory. I had to walk to work a few times in order to save mileage for this special occasion: I snapped that photo at 55 mph, 55,555 miles on the odo, at 5:55 PM, in 5th gear, and 5K rpm...

Hi guys. Been a couple years or so. Thought you'd like to see what recently happened to me and the R.M.S. Displacement. _______________________________________________________________ Sooo....somewhere between Dumas and Amarillo (Texas) my engine lost drive. As in, it lost 100% of drive...

Hi guys, just stopping in to say hello and say that the RMS Displacement is still out and about, tearing up the highway all over the states. She just ticked over 47,174 miles!

If you buy tools at Harbor Freight... ...you're gonna have a bad time. Tools are a prime example of "If you buy cheap, you buy twice."

My buddy just forwarded me this. It's not his, probably from ADVRider or something. RamCam

I see what you did there

As a side note, that cover is a much more enjoyable version of the original song, and I'm not even into, uh, not sure what type of music that would be called.

Eh, you're right, it's really none of my business. Carry on.

A new tyre is definitely one option for fixing, and probably the one that induces the most peace of mind, but if you plug a tyre correctly it won't fail you again. There are definitely times when a plug is not appropriate- like if a nail somehow finds its way into the sidewall of the rubber-...

2 cent opinion: As a year-round motorbike commuter in Seattle, grip heaters are not worth your time. You have to hold onto the grips as if your life depended on it just to get some warmth from them. Let go of the left grip for any reason, and it cools down to square one. I made my own heated...

Actual experience trumps irrational fear every time. Except in politics, of course. ;)
