I'm using Engine Ice in my 2009 FZ6R. Its been in there just over a year and been doing great. I'm in a hotter climate, so I appreciate the extra cooling. Like others have posted, I flushed my system with distilled water, before putting in the Engine Ice. I also pumped out, flushed (with...

It's been a GREAT battery, no problems.

I ran the tires on my '09 for just under 7 years and 14,000 miles. They weren't dry rotted, just worn out. Just my two cents, based on my own experience. Enjoy your bike.

I don't know if I would describe the issue I had as "rattling", but it was more like buzzing. What I had was a problem with the fairing components having a little tolerance issues. At higher speeds, they would vibrate and buzz. Try this... while you are riding and hearing the buzz, push...

I had to re-paint and re-clear the spoiler on my car. I used Dupli-Color products. I did have to polish the final clear coat using some polishing compound. It took some time to get the finish I wanted, but it was worth it. Just my two cents... Good Luck with your repair!!

I purchased a nice sealed AGM battery, manufactured by a company named Chrome. I got it off ebay (shipped $29.50). Seller name is chromebattery. I really like these batteries. Just my opinion, based on my own experience.

Is there a CycleGear near you?? I think they have a deal where they will remove the old tire from the rim, mount the new one and balance it, if you buy a tire from them. If memory serves, I think it was $25 for this service?? My old tires were worn out and they were having a sale. Taking the...

Here are pictures of my '09 FZ6R "Factory" rear brake pads. I saved them when I changed my rear pads. They look a little different from the EBC ones you are holding in your picture.

If you are looking for an inexpensive solution for your hops, try utilizing wire hangers. I imagine you could use them with the bamboo to create some type of trellis or basket for the hops to climb on. I always have extra wire hangers from my dry cleaning. I use them for all sorts of little...

I have a Grapefruit and Orange tree... The Orange tree is struggling, but the Grapefruit tree is doing great. In addition to fertilizing the tree every 6-9 weeks, I also treat them with Chelated Iron (liquid form) every 8 to 10 weeks, but never both at the same time. I leave a couple of weeks...

I used some leftover wheel bearing grease that I used when I repacked my truck's front wheel bearings. It's supposed to be heat treated. Like, TN6R, my axles were quite dry. Even if this wheel bearing grease wasn't an exact match for what was called for, I figured some lubrication was...

Does this one have a clear title?? I remember the difficulties you went through with the title on your FZ6R...

The following post is my opinion based on my own experience... I made the mistake of purchasing some cheap pads off of ebay, they were supposed to be some organic compound. I don't know what they were made of, but they destroyed my front discs/rotors. I found some used discs/rotors that...

I use "Engine Ice", but I am dealing with the extreme Arizona heat in the summer. I've used it in other bikes, as well. I always flush the system a couple of times with distilled water. I also use a cheap hand pump to pump out and flush the overflow bottle, before filling it with...

The following post is my opinion based on my own experiences... I've never had a bike that had a "white smoke" problem, but I have had a car with that problem. It turned out to be a bad head gasket. With this car, I first noticed some "milky" colored residue around the oil cap, when I...

I use Yama-Lube from the dealership. Personally, I like the way it goes on the chain. Just my two cents...

Those are overflow hoses, they drain excess fluids. I think one of them is for coolant, when the overflow bottle gets too full. Here are mine...

The following post is my opinion, based on my experience; your results may vary... Over the weekend, I was working on my car and dripped some brake fluid on my plastic headlight. It made a white stripe down the middle of the clear lens. I took some 1000 grit wet sandpaper (with plenty of...

I picked up this tank bag from Cycle Gear a couple of years ago, its expandable and I like the magnetic mount. It has a clear pouch on the top for a map, which I can glance down and read very easily. Personally, I like it... Just my two cents...

You might want to clean the bobbins on the front discs... There is a thread on the Forum called Rotor "maintenance" with a video. I use Brake Clean and clean them up from time to time, using a little metric nut and bolt I purchased at my local hardware store. Since the bike sat for so long...
