    Can I delete a thread?

    Searched the site but couldn't find anything on how to delete threads that I started that are no longer relevant. (I.e. I was asking if anyone had a set of risers they would part with, but I no longer need them so the thread is irrelavent and I'd like to delete it)

    why bikes are invisible on the road

    Check this out. First time I've seen this explanation of 'why' people sometimes just don't seem to see us when they're looking straight at us and turn right in front of us anyways! Something all bikers need to know! MSF

    Bobski's $200 comfort seat mod

    After researching what size/shape characteristics are supposed to make a bike seat comfortable I had a local upholsterer do a seat mod to my specifications: reduce/eliminate forward slope of seat (ball breaker) by adding adding 1" padding at front of seat and tapering back to 0" at the back of...

    Rox 2" bar risers - front brake line issue?

    I'm installing Rox 2" risers. Bike is on centre stand so suspension is not compressed. Front brake line is tight even with the retaining clip released, it appears to have some stretch capability. Is it ok for the front brake line to be stretched a little? Or do I need to detach the line at the...

    Bobski's +1 impressions

    Lots of posts already on this topic, but here is my impression after several hundred klms. I am not an aggressive rider. I perseive little or no loss of performance for my non aggressive riing style. Cruising rpm being reduced by about 500 is nice, but what I like most is the feel of the taller...

    Puig Touring screen and wind noise?

    I love my Puig Touring windscreen because it smooths out the wind buffeting sooo much. However, I stood up on the pegs (on the highway to strech my legs) and noticed that with my head completely exposed and raised well above my normal riding position the wind noise I experience at highway speeds...

    Seat mod - a different approach

    I was reading someone elses seat mod thread and there was an excellent tutorial on what makes bike seats comfortable and how to mod seats to create those seat characteristics. The basic idea detailed is to reduce the forward slope of the seat (by raining the front and/or lowering the back) so...

    Good/best tire for fire roads?

    For a 60% street 40% fire road riding application, what would be a good tire for the FZ6R? I know I could just get a Vstrom 650 I suppose, but what tires would be best on the FZ for that mix of riding?

    Torque wrench question - technical?

    Ok, here's a weird question for all you professional mechanic types (yes, you too Martin lol). I have a 3/8" drive torque wrench. If I use it with a 3/8 to 1/2 drive converter and 1/2" drive sockets, will the torque settings on the wrench still be valid, or is there some kind of leverage change...

    Stock gear ratios?

    I've searched in the forum and on Google and can't find the stock gear ratio specifications for the FZ6R. Anyone know what they are, primary, 1 - 6, and final drive?

    Raising handlebars

    I've read all the threads about risers/barback risers and various Renthal bars but haven't seen anything about changing out the stock bars for Renthal 756-01 bars. If I'm reading the Renthal application chart correctly, those bars have a rise of 105mm. The stock bars measure about 60mm rise I...

    Givi PL360 sidecase racks

    Does anyone know if the Givi PL360 sidease racks will fit the FZ6R? They are listed for FZ6 (07 - ) fitment, so the question would be . . are the mounting points for fitting these racks the same for both the FZ6 and FZ6R?

    Have you tried the high seat position?

    I'm a 30" leg length and I tried the high seat position for the first time today and went for a three hour ride. I know it's only about an inch higher but I found it made virtually no difference in how I could flat foot the bike or in the riding position. Oddly (and I know this makes no sense) I...

    I'm looking for Givi E21 mounting options?

    Anyone know of alternative mounting options (to the very expensive Motech EVO racks) for the Givi E21 sidecases? I know Marthy has fabricated a custom bracket for his installation, and I've searched all over this site but can't find anything else.
