    Bike sputtered and died!

    So I was on my FZR on my way to work. Halfway through my commute, the bike would sputter every so often like it's losing power for a moment; the RPM would go up and down with it. Then it would be fine and run strong. Well, as I got near work, it started sputtering again (holding the throttle...

    HP Laptop giving PXE-E61 Error

    So my laptop is giving me this error: PXE--E61: Check media cable, then fails to boot up and tries to reboot. From my understanding there is potentially an issue with the HD. Now I tried to run the system HD disk check, but it is saying that no IDE device is found. So is there anyway to check...

    Bolt fabrication

    So I bought a set of Woodcraft rearsets (peg and lever kit) for the duc. I finally get it, but find that the shouldered bolt that holds the pegs and levers together doesn't come with it. I emailed them and they replied saying that the kit assumes that I have stock rearset. Well, I bought...

    Removing powdercoating on stock FZR wheels

    So the stock wheels on the fzr is getting quite dirty (tar, rubber??) and am having a tough time getting rid of it without messing up the paint/powdercoat. Would the integrity of the wheel suffer if I remove the powdercoat? If not, what's the cheapest/easiest way to do this? I was thinking of...

    Where to get bearings...

    Does anyone know where to get bearings for the rear wheel? And how much do they cost? I saw some over the web from $20 to $70+. What should I be looking for as far as rpm and load? TIA

    What was that?? 85 in the pm commute

    So I was heading home on the carpool lane on 85 (before hitting the 280N exit) on the duc, when another rider came up to my right. I knew he was there somewhere as I saw him about to merge to the carpool lane. As he came up to me, he said something about the bike. I thought he said something...

    Tracing a short...

    So my duc seems to be going through fuses (7.5amps) like crazy. Everytime I take it out, the same damn fuse goes out; this is for the turn signal, horn and cluster lights. So I figured, I've got a short somewhere in that circuit. I tried checking the ends where it's easily accessible, and it...

    Finding Neutral

    Ok. So I decided to freshen up the duc. I installed an Evoluzione slave cylinder and a Barnett Clutch Kit. A couple of things happened. That famous "spoon in the garbage disposal" sound that duc's are known for, is now gone!! I was wary at first, but I could tell that the system was working...

    Video Capture

    I've seen movie shots in the photo section (and others) that looks like they are taken from DVD's. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I tried using printscreen, but that didn't work. It only showed the Interactual frame but no picture from the movie. TIA

    Locked brakes :O

    Ok. So here I was pulling over to let the ambulance through when the bike started feeling strange. When I was ready to go, the bike wouldn't move!! WTF!! Turns out the front brake was locked. I could feel that the brake lever was stiff so I took the cover off the master cylinder hoping to...
