    Hope this stays stable

    Scorpion EXO T1200

    Anybody have any experience with the Scorpion EXO T1200? I was just about to grab an EXO 1100 on sale, and then I discovered that Scorpion now has the T1200 which fixes many of the "nits" on the EXO 1100. Experiences, opinions?

    4000 Mile Service Cost

    Let me preface this by saying I usually do my own oil changes, coolant changes, etc. However, the bike now has 4000 miles and I've never taken it to be professionally serviced, so I thought I would get an estimate from the Yamaha dealer for this.

    Rusty Chain

    In late November, I put my FZ6R away for the winter. Fuel stabilizer, battery tender, and in the garage. I believe I had cleaned and lubed my chain not long before that. Anyway, it looked good when I put it away. Fast forward to now. I started the bike up last week, just to hear it run...

    I have a blue 2009 FZ6R, and a plain white HJC CL-16 helmet that is about 3 years old. I still like the helmet, but would like to make it a bit more "interesting", to match the bike a bit more. I've looked many places online, but really can't find any graphics, and I'm no designer. I'm...

    My New Toy

    Well, I was able to get the 2009 FZ6R as mentioned in this thread: http://www.600cc.org/forum/f87/bad-idea-26744/ And per the advice of all in that thread, I changed the oil right after I purchased it. The only issue was getting the filter off -- and I had already read all the oil change...

    Is this a bad idea?

    Just sold my 2008 Yamaha XT250 and I'm planning to join the ranks of the FZ6R group very soon! I'm looking at a 2009, private sale, which has about 2200 miles. By the owners description and photo appearance, the bike looks immaculate. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. However, I asked...
