    Question Fork/Handlebar twist?

    Best of luck to you. My clutch lever, and shifter were bent in my lay down also, you might want to check those out if it went left. I re-bent the shifter on mine, but had to replace the clutch lever (cheap)

    PCV?

    Power commander is for re-tuning when you have made other changes. If you have added more fuel/ airflow, like with exhaust, that is where you can see programming benefits.

    No codes, start switch wont do anything, neutral and sidestand switch say off

    You might have already done this, but go through the manual for the preride checks. It basically checks all of the switches that would shut the bike off, or keep it from starting. Good luck brother, I hope you find it.

    Question What's your odometer reading?

    Traded mine in a few years ago. Got a 2015 bmw f800gt, love it for e everything but sound. It's a twin, so it doesn't have that zing-zing sound. It is much louder than the fz6r, (I think everything is except electrics.) But, it's very similar in most other ways. Sits upright, comfortable...

    Question Fork/Handlebar twist?

    Layed mine down when I had it. The handlebars are rubber mounted. Loosen the mounts, retighten... and voila! Where the mounts attach to the upper tripletree, and where the risers grab the handlebar.

    WTF IS THIS??

    That fits with a problem after a 3 hr ride too. If it was the water, it should have showed up earlier. Also, it could be the ignition switch/ or kill switch. Something is turning off, and back on very quickly.

    WTF IS THIS??

    Looks like it could be a bad ground too, do some good checking before you throw bigger money at it.

    How to Sync Throttle Bodies on the FZ6R

    You said it yourself, when you change one the others move. When you adjusted #3 to match #1, you changed #2. That's exactly why you use a 4 way meter.

    Motorcycle Pictures... Post All Your Pics Here

    Ride yours like you want. Maybe he does his performance riding on a track? Maybe the bike is in its break in period? Maybe its a friends bike? Who knows, to each his own.

    Thanks for the review. +1 on the vfr800. Or an aluminum framed FZ1R! with heated grips, trip computer, gear indicator, outside temp display, factory available luggage, ABS, and 50+mpg.

    The DSLR Picture Thread!

    Looks like you might be using too shallow depth of field. Try coming off your max aperture a couple of stops. Lenses never work their best when they are maxed out. Either that, or your focus could be off by a hair.

    No doubt the engine on the 6r is smoother, but on the freeway the beemer might make up the difference with lower revs. Let us know how you like the demo.

    Thinking about purchasing another bike? POST/ASK/TELL HERE!

    a friend of mine bought one (f800gt) and let me ride it a little. I think that everything on it is just a little better than the 6r. a little smoother, a little more refined. Unfortunately I thought the engine has a little more vibration without much benefit, but the bike i rode wasn't broken...

    What Not To Wear (while riding)

    As for the three-wheeler, it just looks funny to me that the rider is leaning in and the vehicle is leaning out. It almost looks like he is sitting still and trying to shake it back and forth.
