Glad you're ok man that's the most important thing. Heal up fast, you can always buy another bike when you feel like getting back on.

Haven't ridden this one yet because I pick it up tonight. I have ridden one r1 about 4 years ago and it's so much fun. If you have logged decent experience on the 6r I don't feel that it's too big of a jump in progression. I'm 37 and have a level head and respect the power of the bike so I know...

Was a great bike and I'm really gonna miss her but I was able to get a brand new 2012 r1 for 10,100. Couldn't pass up between 3 to 4 grand savings on my dream bike. They gave me 5 grand for my 2012 white fz6r in trade. I think I made out ok! Thanks so much for this wonderful forum and the...

So I think not spin lol. Damn autocorrect

Thanks jsp really appreciate the fast response! I ordered the parts and I bought a craftsman digital clicker torque wrench for like 100 bucks. I hope it will be satisfactory for the bolts. Service manual said like 7.2 ft lbs or something like that. Will have to check again. One more question! I...

I'd say for the engine bolts you're probably fine. The problem with the oil pan is the aluminum threads on the pan. The slightest over tightening and you can screw it up. Don't sweat it and worry too much. Just be real careful with the drain plug. There really isn't any room for error with the...

yeah im not sure at all on what i need to do for the gaskets as i have never tried anything like this. Hoping jsp chimes in cause i know hes done this before. So frustrated over this. I guess the last time i changed my oil i over did it on the plug. I have bought a new higher end torque wrench...
