    Frame Sliders

    Thanks for the health concerns, I meant I don't remember losing control, flying through the air, etc......but I believe I caused the incident by over braking. I recall suddenly seeing a red light and cars turning at a 3 way intersection about 40 yards from a 4-way intersection where the light...

    Frame Sliders

    I know I might of put this in the Mods board but I thought General Discussion might get more air time. Over 120K motorcycle miles in the past 5 years and I've never had an accident until recently. Single vehicle crash and I remember nothing except sitting up on the street being honked at...

    Going to Cave and get it lowered..

    Try adjusting the preload on your suspension.....you should be able to gain/lose height just fine. I'm 5'5 with a 29.5 inseam and I'm not having an issue with the height.

    Mother of Fu*K, Dropped the bike.

    I don't want to jinx myself since my FZ6 is only a month old but I've dropped every bike I've owned, some several times, one probably 8 or so times. The more you ride, the more you challenge yourself, the more you'll find yourself in situations where the bike needs a nap. Just pick it up and...

    Should I get a FZ6R as my first bike?

    If you're going to get a street bike, the FZ6R is a good choice for your first bike. Bikes are inherently dangerous, no matter which one you get. Of course, since you ride dirt bikes, perhaps a moderate displacement dual sport bike would be a good choice. I have an '07 BMW F650GS (single)...

    I love scavenger hunts!

    I'm new here, just picked up my FZ6R last weekend. I love scavenger hunt rallies. For those who also love scavenger hunts, the rally's are organized hunts that generally last 8 hours or longer (sometimes months) where you have a prescribed list of things to collect along with a fixed item...

    Fall away test

    Had a front wheel wobble on another bike when it was new. Inflating tires to high end of range took care of it.

    New to Board-So. Cal

    Picked up my first Yamaha on Saturday. FZ6R, white. Now working on getting ergos right and accessorizing. I'm in So. Cal. This is my first in-line 4, and I can't believe what I've been missing! Started out on a Suzuki VS800, then went to a BMW F650GS (single) which I still have for now...
