    First Fork Oil Change

    Did the first fork oil change at 14000km. Changed to Motul 15Wt synthetic fork oil. Very easy to accomplish. The hardest part is to get the bike hung up from the ceiling or some other way to hold up the front. My front stand couldnt hook up the the lower triple clamp as it wouldnt fit...

From looking at the stock exhaust and stock airfilter Map it seems that the PC-V will richen up the lower RPM range with less than...

    Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa

    Went to watch the canadian superbike race at mosport and while walking around the pits saw a team selling used track tires. They had a set from an race SV650 that matched the FZ6R perfectly and were pretty much brand new. I think around 40 laps or so. They are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa. I...

    1000km in the aggressive position...

    Changed my handlebars to the forward "aggressive position" last week and after 1000km with them here is my take... Everything is very similar...weight on wrists, steering, comfort etc. It was pretty tough to tell 20mm to be honest. But its slightly better feeling while cornering. The bike...
