Thanks WenMark, Spunky99, Rat! Spunky99, I wouldn't ride around Chernobyl on my bike, unless I want my bike glowing in the dark :D But I know that tours around Pripyat are quite popular, it's like one of these documentaries about what's gonna happen on Earth if all people suddenly disappear...

Been at the service today, no luck with the photo, as I was told, you need to remove tank cover to get to the throttle body. I'll be at Russian Fazer Club this Friday, those guys will help me out with the photo. Sorry for delay, DcBear78

DcBear78, I'll make a photo today, after the work. Alp, I'm gonna be at dealer tomorrow, I can ask for a part number, if you need one..

Ksanbon, check this video out YouTube - NB's F6550GS - How to pick up a motorcycle I studied this tutorial after I dropped mine, and it really helped - managed to pick up my bike alone, in one go, and surprisingly it's very easy to do. You just sit on your bike, grab the lower handle bar with...

I dropped mine the very first day I got it in my garage. Went out for a short ride around the block, met a buddy of mine, showed my bike, and on my way back to garage I had to make a u-turn, right in front of my friend, and instead making a three way u-turn I tried to make it in one go, just...

Thanks PuRpl3_Dr4nK, will post some photos in a while. You would like Russia, if you ever travel there, just make sure you have an alternative tourist route rather than standard boring stuff like Kremlin and Red Square. Anyway, if I'm correct you're not that far from West Coast, and from what I...

Thanks Serge, It's a tad better than it was couple of years ago, slowly people getting used to bikes around the city. And you're pretty much safe if you made yourself noticed :) It's still worth riding, without speeding, just by lane splitting you can save more than 50% of time you'd spend if...

I wonder why Yamaha don't sell them in US? It's cheaper to buy, cheaper to fall, it looks good and you have the drag as a free speed limiter :D I can take a photo of the seat and seat inside if you like. I've been checking out about the seat as well, mostly because it kills my back after 60...

Here's my buddy, fresh from the store:

Hello everyone, I'm from Moscow, Russia, turning 28 this May, got my first bike not long ago, it's yamaha xj6n, and I'm very glad about it. Probably one of the best purchases I ever did. Forgot about the name.. My name is Sasha, short for Alexander in Russian, and, to avoid confusion, I'm a...

Hello, I've been a reader of this forum for a while now, and it's about time to become a member of this forum. Got my bike past February, had a first ride in April, got my license in early May and riding every day since. It's my first bike ever, so there's nothing much to compare to, except the...
