    Heated gear

    Overall I stay fairly warm, I'm not sure that a heated seat would quite do what I'm looking for. I have hot grips heated hand grips, probably one of the best investments I've made for it. Storage is really the issue for me not so much taking gear on and off.

    Heated gear

    So quite often here in Mi we get high 40 low 50* mornings and up into the 70's during the afternoon. I have a heated vest and hot grips but legs still get cold especially on the fuel tank I would prefer gear that I could leave on the bike if possible. Anything out there like that? If not...

    White German Shepherds

    I have a Siberian Husky also, he loves to talk. We nicknamed him wookie cuz he sounds like Chewbacca. My shepherd also ate the latch on the food container. We now have one with a spin on top, she hasn't solved that puzzle yet.

    Suspension service (rebuild fork / shock )

    If you aren't replacing springs there really isn't any special tools necessary for forks. There should be a wrench in your tool kit to remove the caps and the bottom shcs is an 8 or 9mm. Can't tell ya on the rear shock though.

    Uneven Front Disc Wear

    A poorly bled caliper should have a spongy lever feel. Even in the one is bled correctly since they are fed off the same master cylinder. There is most likely a pad or rotor issue there.

    Fork Oil

    190lbs (86 kg) and actually just an oil swap is a very quick change. The left over amount from old stuff will be negligible. All ya gotta do is drop the bottom bolt in the fork let the oil out pump the fork a few times to remove as much as possible. Replace bolt and refill from the top...

    White German Shepherds

    If mine keeps up she won't live that long. lol. She loves to come up and belch in your face and uses her nose for everything from telling you she wants out to waking you up if she wants attention. I got a CAT Diesel he opens cupboard doors all the time, he'll open the bathroom vanity door...

    White German Shepherds

    So if any of you are thinking of getting a new dog and have this idea to get a white shepherd. DON'T DO IT! They are too damn smart for their own good, and extremely high maintenance. They need constant exercise and stimulation or they start getting into mischief. We had to change the kind...

    Fork Oil

    It will but I bought my bike with 800 miles on it and it never handled near as nicely with the factory oil. I'll be honest I feel more of the subtle differences in the road now but I also feel like I'm more in tune with how the bike is reacting to the road.

    R1S new FZ1?

    So when you look at Yamaha's site there is no listing for a 2016 FZ1. However they are putting out the R1S while it may not be near as comfy as the fz I can't help but wonder if its the replacement for a gen III fz1. Heavier connecting rods, lower revs, all aluminum instead of titanium. Sounds...

    Help, changed fork fluid, can't adjust compr/rebound now

    You shouldn't have had to adjust anything internally to just swap fluid. As far as what to do to fix it now no idea without looking at it.

    Gen 1 Starting and Stalling issues

    Hard to say but could be the stator, they sometimes heat up and break continuity. Sounds like it's time to invest in a multi meter.

    Rode with my buddy and his Gen 1 today.

    200 extra cc's help with that get up and go. And most likely an extra 20+ hp (not sure what he has done to his) Also it's not the fz is so light, its that you've been riding a freaking elephant for a few years. Lol I haven't ridden a 12 but the 14 is a monster to toss around the curves.
