Original Yamaha part for FZ6R. I never used the side bars they are still in the box. Only took out the four bolts to replace factory grab handles. Was plenty strong for any luggage and looked great. $50 I have a givi top case somewhere as well for $20 Pickup is near Erin Mills Town Centre...

Nice thanks for posting.

Funny I took the seat off first and noticed lots of things covering the top so decided to check the side. Weird looks like could have found a better place but would be harder to see and easier to access.

I changed my brake fluid today and noticed a big difference in the braking performance. The colour of the old fluid wasn't that bad or that much darker then new fluid. It was hard to tell the new fluid so I did about 6 full reservoirs to finish my bottle. I used bel ray super dot 4 so not...

Wow the 636 is a great bike. Congrats. I had a chance to try it and I posted my thoughts on the bike in the other bike forum. One feature you might consider using is the power setting though i dont know much about it. This might be usefull because the bike does have more power than fz6. I want...

Apparently you can get 2013 with or without abs. Another thing I found is that it has slipper clutch. Thinking back I thought it was my rev matching skills and less engine braking. Cbr has no slipper clutch so maybe that's why I thought the engine braking was so strong while downshifting in...

Had a chance today to test the new 2013 Kawasaki 636. My current bike is a 2009 fz6r and last week I tested the 2013 cbr600rr. Ok all I can say is wow. If you read my post last week I had a great time on the new honda but was not convinced in my situation worth upgrading to the Honda. The...

Yes CBR500R is a nice bike it was too bad Honda didn't release it in 2009 when I bought the FZ6R. But since I already have the FZ6R it wouldn't make sense to me to test the CBR500R. Curious if insurance would be cheaper though. Also I was really surprised how the white CB1100 looked in person as...

I had a chance to test the new 2013 CBR600RR for about hour. -Foot pegs are really high. It took a few turns to get used to this. -Low speed handling is seems more difficult due to forward lean angle and high pegs. -Engine is super smooth. Not FZ6R smooth and quiet but kinda feels like...

Thanks for the info and your review.

Where did you buy and or get the tires installed?

Here it is. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400263878395&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:CA:1123

Not sure if it's available now but I think there is one guy on ebay selling one.

Bringing back an old post. I had a request to see if I ever painted the carrier and got a chance to try out ipad 3 camera. I used matte black $5 tremclad paint I think on the carrier. Results are pretty good and looks factory to me. Very simple process. I rubbed with dollar store sand...

Sorry I never did get the part. I ended up just mounting the givi base to the yamaha carrier. I plan on painting the Yamaha carrier black during the winter.

I'm also changing my plugs and found this how to with pics very helpful. I also came upon ngk's website advising people not to use anti seize compound. http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/pdf/TB-0630111antisieze.pdf I decided to use the standard ngk copper plugs mainly because most every...

I notice some air coming from the bottom sides where it tapers in. The puig touring screen doesn't have the narrow bottom and maybe slightly wider at the top. From the forums people seemed to have problems ordering and wrong figment with the puig screen. If availability was the same I...

Hey we got them off the line in the 0-30 range :) Maybe half way across the intersection.

Two ways to make more power in this case doesn't work with higher rpm it gets worse. Anybody know if torque goes down too as that might be an indication.

Everyone knows that a 600 supersport has faster acceleration than the fz6r by a huge margin. I also hear that they don't have much low end. Does that mean if you don't go above 9,000 will it still kill. I don't know and I don't presume to. Let's not kid ourselves a high rpm supersport is a rocket.
