    stalling between 5,000 and 6,000 RPMs

    I just replaced the spark plugs. It was due since I have almost 10,000 miles on the bike. I also lifted the tank to all my connections and discovered there is a pretty bad kink in the fuel line. I will work on replacing that before I put everything back together. I am pretty confident this will...

    stalling between 5,000 and 6,000 RPMs

    The tank has definitely been off, and I was thinking about a possible fuel line kink. Similar thing happened when I replaced the gas tank on an old truck of mine, and kinked the line when I put the new tank in. I hope it is this simple, but I haven't had the tank off in over a year or so.

    stalling between 5,000 and 6,000 RPMs

    I have had this problem for about a week. When I ride and hold steady throttle between 5,000 and 6,000 RPMs the bike acts like it wants to stall, as if it is not getting proper spark or fuel. Sometimes it happens even while accelerating through this RPM range but that is harder to reproduce...

    EBC Brake Pads = 2 thumbs-up

    Brakes are easy and only require a few tools. Watch the YouTube video and ask questions here if you have them.

    Fake Alpinestars gloves from ebay seller dilpeggg

    As far as an update, the seller has agreed to refund my money but he requested that I not leave negative or neutral feedback. I just ignored the question, but he still thinks these are genuine gloves, as if Alpinestars just decided to release some gloves with no kevlar lining. He said because...

    Fake Alpinestars gloves from ebay seller dilpeggg

    I just bought some fake Alpinestars gloves on ebay. They were advertised as the 2008 model so it made since that they were $140, especially since a new model has just been released. I thought they were just trying to clear out old stock. When they arrived I had some suspicions that they were...

    Graves Rearsets on 2008 Yamaha FZ1

    Any thing in particular that you want pictures of? I tried to get everything I could. You can see where I had to cut my sprocket cover. I didn't take pictures during the install so you can't see how I had to beat the hell out of the shift knuckle to get it to fit. I also thought of one...

    Graves Rearsets on 2008 Yamaha FZ1

    Hello everyone. I decided to post here on the forum because I haven’t seen many examples of Graves rearsets on the 2nd gen Yamaha FZ1. Installation was not too bad. The instructions were very vague, so if you are the kind of person that required detailed instructions with lots of pictures...

    Sympathy for our southern state riders

    It has been in the 60's and 70's here in Louisiana. I tell you guys, it sure has been tough riding day in and day out. If only I could get a 2-3 month break from riding. I am jealous of you guys up north.
