removing the radiator guards gets a wee bit more air moving around the knees.

My friends who own local repair shops told me that 10% ethanol in the fuel they dont have to advise you at the pumps. greter then10% and they have to post an ethanol content warning at the pumps. Lots of mechanical issues here locally. Only two stations offer ethanol free fuel local. Both...

SOS to any one who has done this mod I could use some help from anyone who has done this R6 shock mod. My plan is to perform the RavenRider $15.00 front fork mod (over at fz10a). Post fork mod it appears RavenRider pulls the forks up in the trees a 1/4inch then raises the stock OEM FZ1 ride...

Shock arrived: Update. E-Bay shock arrived. Sticker on it gives a 06-2006 build, sooo it appears to be off a 07 R6 (it is indeed a R6 unit). Shocks patina suggests it to be off a little used or much loved bike. Everything LOOKS the same as the newer R6 shocks used earlier in this mod thread...

I left the road post corner and found a tree stump buried in the tall grass in my 02 Bugeye WRX a few years ago. Tore the heck out of the underside. Insurance didnt total and it never felt right afterwards. Fella that bought it wraped it around a utility pole. Subarus and big sways dont mix. I...

Once there were few now they are many. Somebody from JM has got to be on here. Anyone? Im the mismatched nut on the black and yellow one (so far havent seen another one recently).
