    Moving On From FZ6R...

    I picked up my Kawi 636 a couple of weeks ago and besides a stiff neck from the SS position and cramp from the clutch lever(now adjusted) I haven't had any real issues. Amazing power in at any RPM and handling that gets better the more you push it.

    HELP!!! Overheating

    Having problems and thought I'd ask for some help. The cooling fan shut off and wasn't coming on when hot so I took a look through everything and found the fuse was blown. Replaced it with the extra 20 amp fuse and still not working tried a different 20 amp fuse and still no joy. The new fuses...

    What are your favorite gloves?

    I've got two pairs. I have a Joe Rocket set for foul weather that cover the bottom of my jacket sleeve, the work well but leave a little to be desired for feel. For summer and warm weather I have a pair of Alpinestars SMX2. great feel and super comfort with a lot of air flow.

    Had to lay the bike down...

    Sorry to hear about the crash. If your helmet took some damage you may want to replace that as well or at least have it checked by the manufacturer. It may sound a little extreme but better safe than sorry'

    Is it bad to go from Synthetic back to regular oil?

    How do you call BS on an opinion? I am speaking from my experience and training. I am not an engineer or chemist. I am the guy who gets out of bed at 2 in the morning because an operator has mixed oils and blown an engine Everyone has different experience and I respect that. As far as...

    Is it bad to go from Synthetic back to regular oil?

    As a heavy duty mechanic i have seen the results of synthetic and dino oil up close. If you are going to make the switch I recommend letting the oil drain for at least a day. Any mixture of the two oil types will result in the internal parts and oil galleries becoming plugged with sludge and...
