2003 FZ! 30k miles. Its on the left side crankcase area. It almost sounds like a chain running over a gritty chain guide or a dirty loose chain going over a sprocket, but really loud. Could it be a bearing inside the case going bad? It seems to do it during certain conditions. What I mean by...

Would it be wise to spray the caliper off with brake cleaner then check or no? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

What are the chances of it being the rear master cylinder Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Yeah, it has 25k on it. Not really sure if the fluid has ever been replaced. What the best way to bleed after replacing the fluid? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

See I thought it was heat too, but I just got doing a 150 mile ride with no issues. Plus, before this happened my bike sat parked for a good 30 minutes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

03 bumble. I replaced my rear pads about 1000 or so miles ago. I was riding down a mountain road the other day and my rear brake lever started getting a little spongey. Didn't think anything of it. I get a few miles farther and I lose all pressure in my rear brakes. I pushed on the lever as far...

Uhm, I wish I was an engineer. The rear of the swing arm to the alum block Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

I changed my rear tire and decided to use a caliper to make the difference. I zeroed one side and the other measures out to .54mm. I am finding it difficult to make both sides 0. Will .54mm mess anything up? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Pilot road 3 :) Not sure if its a good deal or not but I price matched it through bikebandot for 154$ shipped.

My wife is bringing me wheel into get changed and balanced. Do I need to give her the spacers for the balance machine? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

The alignment was pretty spot on. I bought a micrometer a while back and will use it next time I get a tire changed, which should be within the next few hundred miles

I've had this problem with my current FZ and my KLR. It seems everytime I reinstall the rear tire, and place the chain slack to spec, my chain/sprocket combo wear out. Is this because the grooves in the sprocket teeth are now correspnding with a different part of the chain that it wasn't making...

Nevermind. A little googling helped answer my search question. So, what advantages are there of doing a stiffer rear for a guy like me? I'm in the process of trying to get back down to 220 - 230 so is it worth waiting or should I respring now?

The front end is already resprung from the PO. I couldn't tell you what kind, its has a blue center and is stiff as hell. As for the rear spring, I know nothing about how I would search for it or even where to ask. Any ideas?
