    Possible Fuel in Oil Issue

    Ok, so I've done a bunch of oil changes on my bike and I am meticulous about making sure its topped off right on the line. I've put about 300 miles on the bike after the most recent oil change and after riding it the other day, I noticed oil at the drain bolt (just a tiny bit) and oil at the oil...

    What is this part?

    Hey guys, I had to remove this part and then put it back on (the part my finger is touching). What is that? I hope it was just a simple pull off and put back on piece and not some 'handle with care' kinda piece. Please let me know.

    Wrapping DB Killer?

    Anyone ever wrap their dB killer in ceramic or fiberglass wrap? I’d like to quiet down my slip in just a tad for my neighbors’ benefit as I’ll be starting some early am weekend rides. I’ve been hearing about it from dirt bike riders. Would this change the air/fuel condition at all?

    Power Commander Advice

Originally I was thinking -1/+2 or 15/48 set up because I rarely ride on the highway and want more low end power. BUT, I was reading that a -1/+0 or 15/46 set up is still a...

    Wheelie Info

    Not that I do wheelies (let's be clear on that)...I do have questions though - Is the FZ6R 'really' built to pop wheelies? I mean it's not like it's a true sportsbike right? Not trying to offend anyone as I am a proud FZ6R owner but I'm just thinking that some of our suspension components...

    '09 FZ6R Question

    Hey guys, I just picked up an immaculate '09 FZ6R with about 7k miles on it. It's bone stock and looks and sounds fine EXCEPT I have one issue... When I rev the engine in idle up around 6-8k rpm and let go of the throttle I have a sound that is similar to a bad catalytic converter in a car as...
