    what is the best way to make it louder?

    Hi, This is what I got done this weekend. Got a welder to grind off the old exhaust and weld a 2.5 inch one on. Going to paint it matte black but it sure is loud....It's as loud as my wifes Two Brothers exhaust but a more deeper tone.

    Wife wants to learn to ride

    I may have to take you up on this offer! I will PM you soon on specifics! She's not really going to ride the bike a lot if that makes sense. It's just for her to learn how to use the clutch, shift, etc. I showed her the friction zone today on my bike...which was actually very fun (Even...

    Wife wants to learn to ride

    Good ideas! I searched for some places and they are about 3 hours away. Not bad. Going to keep looking around. I posted an ad on CL if someone would let us use their dirt bike on their property for her to learn and would compensate them. No bites so far.....I wish I could teach her on my FZ6R...

    My First Crash and Hit and Run...

    Most lawyers do free consults and only get paid if you get paid for these matters. PM me if you want the lawyer I used when I got hit. It was literally the easiest thing ever. The hardest part was getting the letter to get my check notarized! HOCO cops FTW

    Did I Just Fry my Electrical System?

    We have the same bike, and check my post history we did the same thing. Let me know if you have any questions. Mine was a cheap Chinese knock off of the Motodynamic and it was not plug and play at all.

    Need help! Motodynamics tail lights & front turn signals.

    This isn't probably a popular opinion, but instead of using the resistors that were supplied with the kit, I bought an LED flasher relay that is plug and play and didn't have to zip tie the load resistors.

    FZ6R Oil Change - How To

    Hi all, I did my oil change today and it went really well. For those people who are doing the oil change for the first time you should buy this 302 Found. It worked perfect and got the oil filter right off.

    Horn, brake light, and signals stopped working

    I fixed it!!! I will include a write up when I get to work! So after emailing the merchant (Who was no help at all and sent me a bunch of smiley faces) I emailed Motodynamic to see maybe they would help me. They responded promptly to my question and gave me a place to start. So here we go: You...

    Horn, brake light, and signals stopped working

    It came with no instructions (Taiwan :mad: ) and it came with a total of three wires. The first wire plugged into the light bulb plug. The other two are the yellow and blue that you see there that I believe do the blinking. But I don't know how the hell to wire it! I wish I would have got the...
