Well, I've been riding with it daily for 3 weeks now, and I'm still impressed. She runs really smooth with no hesitation. I had a good run at about 120 mph last Friday and she just shone. Never tried to reset the injection mapping by disconnecting the battery, so far its running so good I don't want to mess with it. I'll post back with updates.

I used a 3/8ths metal bit. I got two holes in each side and then reamed out the rest. I left it on the bike the shavings won't get past the catalytic converter.

Cobra MT975 bike to bike set up

Hi there, just saw your post re the MT975 radios, I pulled my hair trying to get them to work, I also have Cobra MT800's that you plug into the jack in the top of the radio. This is where I plugged into on the MT975 as well, I realised that there is a small jack on the side of the MT975 radios for intercom, just plug the ptt stuff into the side jack and the radio ptt button should work for transmit and receive. The only thing was, that,...

Hey everyone. I have some people interested in the harness I made in part one of this mod recently. Since I sold off all the ones I made in the first batch, I spent the weekend and then some making a few more. If you're interested in one, PM me and I can get you a price depending on your mailing location. I think by the time these ones are gone, it'll be riding season and that'll be it for...

My Fz6 came adjusted to setting "3" on the shock, though I moved it to setting 4 as I do a fair amount of 2 up riding. Where do you have yours set? Is it just a matter of the higher the setting, the firmer the ride? I may bring mine down to 3 or even two when I'm riding solo. Your thoughts?

Well as many of you may know, I installed flushmount LED signals as well as an Ermax Undertail with LED signals. Anyone who has done this knows that the flash rate is like 3x faster after you do this if you don't insert some resistance and/or a new relay in the circuit. My undertail came with a new LED Relay and I finally got around to installing it. So, I figured the easiest way to go ...

I'm not a great mechanic but though I'd post some pics showing how to replace an air filter. If I can do it, you can do it! So get that OEM filter out and put in something worthy of your machine. The procedure is in the owners manual under "Replacing the air filter element". I would suggest doing this when the gas tank is near empty. Note that there are 2 wire connectors under the fuel ...

So I didn't see a thread for this, and I'm sure there are some people who want to know what they're going to have to do when they get frame sliders. Mine were no-cut Shogun Sliders...$40 at the Yamaha dealer. Well, I was told it was easy, and yup, it is. Step 1: Prepare with a beer and Potato chips Step 2: Get a socket wrench or torque wrench with 8mm allen hex end thingy Step 3: ...

First off ... I did drill out the baffles, and I am quite happy about the sound. Note the sound isn't LOUDER, its a deeper pitch. 1. Masonry 1/2 Drill bit ... Lowes = $11.97 (The length of the drill bit is irrelevant just needs to reach the baffles, I bought a 12 inch and was quite comfortable ... had a few extra inches to play with) 2. I felt as though I should take the exhaust off, I ...

Note: Videos play much smoother directly on YouTube Rear Facing: This is easy (if you don't have a pillion). On the rear peg foot guard mount the handle bar mount by removing the locking bolt, slide the unit over the foot guard and replace the locking bolt so that it passes through a hole in the guard. The foot peg needs to be down to mount camera, but still allows peg to be folded up when...

I finally received my Shad50 top case and FZ6 top master kit (rack). I've to say that I am damn IMPRESSED! Much better quality than the Givi's I've seen on my friend's bikes. Claudio@AdventureMotoUSA says that SH50 is currently the best top case in Europe and infact recommended me to get the Shad 50! He advised not to get the brake light kit as it mounts to the plate and is of no use being so ...
