Anyone else see them today and know what they were doing? There were 3 apache style (but not apache) helicopters flying around randomly over south SJ/blossom hill area for a few minutes. They flew to the east side then back and towards the hills. They were kind of flying randomly in circles and...

While switching visors, the tab holding the side plate on my arai helmet broke and now there is no way to put the visor on...leaving me stranded at work. Anyone live nearby Palo Alto (El camino and Page mill) have a spare helmet they can loan me until tomorrow (size medium, but I'm not picky)...

I just got back from drinking and Denny's and I feel like :green. It wasn't from the booze but the nasty greasy food. As a bonus, they screwed up a friends order so they brought out extra food...which I ate. I'm trying to stay awake to digest off some of the food before going to bed :thumbdown...

Hey guys, I'm looking to do a carb synch on my 06 R6 this weekend. I have the synch tool but have never done it and don't want to fiddle around with it for hours. If anyone has experience and is willing to help, I will provide refreshments ;) I live in South San Jose and have tools but can come...

I need to buy a tank pad and really like skulls/deathly images (posing obviously). There is one I particularly like that has the grim reaper on it with skulls. Do you guys think this would give me bad luck/bring on unneeded karma? I am not superstitious but I do put on my hockey equipment right...

So I was riding home last night about midnight and saw a person pull into a gas station in South San Jose with crutches strapped to his bike. They were pointing back like a high mount exhaust but sticking like 3 feet into the air. I think he was riding a red sports bike. I only ask because this...

Hey guys, I just picked up an 06 R6 and just switched my insurance onto it. My last bike was an 01 R6 so I just had liability. I am concerned about it being stolen so I am considering getting comprehenisive coverage. I was just going to stick with the liability but after reading a few threads...

Hey guys, quick question as I have no experience when it comes to this. I recently replaced my back tire on my 01 R6. (Took the wheel off myself and put back on myself). As I was riding home I noticed a clacking sound in regular intervals at low speeds (the exhaust is too loud to hear at...

So I've been noticing that my bike ('01 R6) has been getting hot/overheating rather quickly lately so decided to check things out. After taking the lower fairings off, it was quite evident that there was a coolant leak. The bottom was caked with a coolant/road crap sludge. So I cleaned off the...

Hey guys, I have a 01 R6 and recently put on Greggs flushmounts. Now when I ride (usually on the freeway), I'll put on my turn signals and nothing happens. The little green indicator on the dash doesn't light up at all, like if I didn't hit the switch. Then a while later, the blinkers and dash...

Hey guys, I just got a 2001 R6. All was fine until yesterday... I noticed in the evening when I turned the key on that the backlight for the gauges didn't turn on. Then I checked the blinkers and they didn't turn on either. Same goes for the tail lights. The headlights (high and low), and the...

I'm looking for a blue 2001 mid right fairing in good shape. I'm also looking for a high mount exhaust (micron, devil, etc.) for the same bike. Please PM me if you have it. Thanks.

Besides being a noob, what am I doing that is causing me to grind gears while shifting? Usually it is between first and second gear. I've tried different things (different speeds, rpms, etc.) to try and avoid it but I can't pinpoint the error. I make sure I pull the clutch all the way in but it...

If anyone has a rear seat for a FZR 600 and slip on in relatively good condition, let me know. The slip on doesn't have to be anything special, just in decent condition and will fit my bike. As you can see, my current exhaust leaves something to be desired. I'm also looking for YZF mirrors if...
