Ok so I got a set of the BikeMaster heated grips yesterday. I've heard that they should be routed through a relay. My question is..which one? Is there one that is better than the other?
Well I guess it's finally time for it. I got home yesterday from work and decided to go ride. When I started the bike I could hear a ticking noise. Without ripping the bike apart I can only guess that it's the valves. My baby has just over 40k on her and I'm pretty sure this has never been done...
Ok I need some opinions on what riding pants to buy. I bought a pair of generic overpants from JafrumDotCom a few months back and they are falling apart. They were cheap and I needed something other than just regular jeans. I know you get what you pay for which is why for $50 bux,I am not...
I was wondering if any of you guys do Motovlogs. I just ordered a Drift HD170 so I can start filming my rides and I have tossed around the idea of vlogging while im out there. If any of you guys do...what is a good program to use to edit video's. I'm not looking for some top of the line...
Ok..I ordered my Zero Gravity Windscreen from Amazon on the 9th. It was from a company called Big Bad Powersports. I ordered the Double Bubble. Well today my package finally arrives,I open it up and it's the SR series. Not only is it the wrong style but it's not even the correct screen for my...
I just bought my first real helmet today. It's a HJC CS-R2 in Silver to match the FZ. I have to say I'm in love with this helmet. As soon as I put this one I was amazed! It's SO light. Compared to my EXL modular helmet its like wearing nothing but air. The EXL cheek pads pushed in on my face so...
OK...I need one of you crafty people to give me a brilliant idea. I went to switch out my from tire today..I got my calipers off no problem. Next I went to loosen the pinch bolt and apparently the PO has stripped it out. I attempted to use the next closest size which was standard not metric but...
I want to get some opinions from the GEN I crowd on Windscreens. I am currently running the stock screen which blows! After 60mph I feel like my head is being ripped off my shoulders. I have been looking at the ZG db and the touring screens. Which do you guys prefer. BTW I'm 5'9" with a 32"...
Ok this is going to be my first tire change on my bike. I am wondering...is it necessary to change the valve stem when changing the tires? I know my clymers says to change them out but why? If it's in good condition then why spend the couple of extra bux to change it out?
Ok This may seem like a strange question. I'm trying to find Bar end mirrors for my bike because as some of you know..I dropped it and broke one. Well I thought they were standard 7/8"bars,so I ordered a pair for that size. Well it turns out that the hole in the end of the bar is 12mm. Am I...
Well..the inevitable happened today,I dropped my bike. I was just coming home from getting my D.O.T. Medical card for my job. I pulled into my driveway get all the way to the door and that's when it happened. My driveway is paved with of all things...Fooking Seashells!! The front tire slid to...
Went for a quick little 75mi. ride today. It was a beautiful 50degree day here in RI. Just a little bit of a breeze and lots of sun. Figured I'd post a pic of the nice day and my bike. Hope you all had a nice New Years and may the rest of the year be a great one!
I saw a video today about a Roadlok disc lock. Does anyone here have any experience with these? I looked on their website but of course the Fz1 Gen 1 isn't listed. What do you all use...if at all? The install on this is pretty easy and straight forward and if it saves me a few bux on insurance...
Just ordered my new tires for my bike this morning...Merry xmas to me! I ended up getting Michelin Pilot powers. Stock size. I got them from Jakewilson.com. They came to $205 shipped. Can't wait to get them in and put some miles on them. Hopefully the snow will hold out and let me do this. Or...
Well...Wednesday started out like any typical day. Got up went to work. When I came back to the shop for lunch one of my co-workers comes up to me and says "Hey,I noticed a little puddle of oil under your bike." Of course at that point I run over to my bike and sure enough there is a small...
I am looking around for tires to replace on my bike...they still have life on them but I want to start looking now...I'm currently running Michelin Pilot power on front and rear...so far the cheapest I have found them is $237 shipped. Do you all think that is a good price or perhaps do you know...
Ok so I haven't even gotten my bike home but im already considering mods...First thing I want to do is get luggage racks. What do you guys suggest for panniers. I know I would like a hard case setup.
I am so STOKED! I just found out today that I got approved for my loan. That means tomorrow I will officially be joining the FZ1 family and picking up my bike. :woot: :woot:
