What did you do to your bike today?

[Scott_Thomas]

I cheated on her....

Too much lean for touring, just my opinion. For the money go for a ninja 1k.

I haven't really planned on a ton of touring anyways. I think i just need to get the SS out of me. The ninja 1k is double the price in insurance!!

Preparation is important. Bead blast and clean good with acetone. Let dry and paint light coat with 30 min dry time in between. Let cure for few days to make sure its on solid. Follow the instructions on the can...

That sucks. I don't know anyone with a blaster. May have to find someone in the off season.

great, that means I have to con my father into letting me use his garage for a while. I can't let him know it's for a bike part otherwise arguments will start. Even though I'm older my parents still get upset when anything bike is discussed.

You'd think that with me being in my 30s it wouldn't be an issue anymore.

I am so sorry. I never had that problem with my parents, seeing how my brother had dirtbikes and such throughout his teen years. I remember my first time ridinge A YZ250F... Crashed into a tree. lol My parents and brother still mock me to this day about it!

Installed my Ram Mount X-Grip and battery tender power adapter. Now I can charge my phone while I'm riding since I listen to music via my Sena SMH5-02. Still waiting on other stuff I ordered (Puig Dark Smoke Racing Screen and Stomp Grips).

Has anyone used the Yoke nut mount for the Ram Mount xgrip? I cannot for the life of me find what size the nut or threaded part is for our bike. I think it may be 36mm socket and 25mm thread, but even when I look up the part I cannot find the size. Is there anyone that can verify the size? I don't have sockets that big to know.

*edit
90176-22081-00 This is the yoke (crown) nut for the FZ6R, but nowhere have I found a size listed. Anyone?

You'll like the X-Grip mount, mine works great!

Thanks, I do like it, but I'd rather not have it on my bar. There's a yoke nut mount, but I cannot find the size of our yoke nut to order the mount and it's not listed by model. Even when I do a parts search I can find the part, but the size isn't stated.

My father is a little better about them but my mother is very much against anything to do with them.

After further review I think its 35mm with 28mm in dimensions. Still haven't verified this. I double checked and I don't have sockets that big.

Spent the last 2 and a half hours cleaning the hell out of the chain and sprockets and gave the bike a wax job. Sucks living next to a farm. Chain gets dirty no matter what.

Put on some r6s mirrors, eagle eyes in amber set up as running and turn signals in the fake air duct, rotated bar mount for forward mounting and rolled bars back, new spyder peak grips, and sintered front pads... Phew long afternoon!

It sucks a lot. After about a week, my chain starts to build up this reddish residue on it.
