    Has anyone done the R6 fork swap out?

    I read some old posts about people doing this to get an adjustable fork onto their FZ6R. Has anyone done this recently? I have a '12 FZ6R and was wondering what year of the R6's forks would be compatible. Thanks Norm

    Track Day on My FZ6R

    It was a Valkrie! There were two guys there on those, and apparently they do track days on them a lot. One of the guys was amazingly fast on his, he blew by me on the straight like I was not even there and I could never catch him. Pretty much everyone else had sport bikes or super motos but...

    Track Day on My FZ6R

    Its was $385 for the two days. I have lots of tread left (they were fairly new), but the tires show that they have done a lot of work - a kind of bubbling look close to the sides that I have never seen from road use.

    Track Day on My FZ6R

    Last year when I did my first track day at Oregon Raceway Park I was very nervous as I knew nothing about the track experience. I went with a buddy as part of a four day tour of Eastern Oregon on my BMW F650GS, so had been riding two days by the time we got to the track; we camped the night...

    Panic mode - Dogs!

    Ya I followed textbook protocol once and... ....it worked perfectly. I was last of 4 bikes and I saw this dog giving me the evil eye and sure enough he came at me, I slowed down after he started his run and then I gunned it and it confused him and I safely passed. Of course this technique...

    Tire changing machines

    Can you peeps recommend a good tire changing machine to buy? My local riding group here are banding together to buy one to share. Not looking for the industrial ones that cost a mint but something for a home shop to make life easy. Thanks Norm

    How do you take off the side mirrors?

    Cool thanks, I will order that, handy to have for sure. I know I need some replacements for my Bandit.

    How do you take off the side mirrors?

    Gotcha thanks! Knowing how things go I should buy some extra push rivets as those bastards never survive being taken out.

    How do you take off the side mirrors?

    Got a track day coming up in a few weeks, wondering how they come off. Do I pry up that little circle thingy and find a bolt under it?
