Hi everyone, I'm new here ... stumbled across this site whilst looking for a seat cowl for my 2005 FZ6N, so thought I'd join up to see if I can get any assistance with where to find one I reside in Brisbane, Australia with my husband and children. As stated above, I ride a 2005 FZ6N which I've had for a couple of years. Before that I rode a Honda CBR250 and before that I had a Yamaha Virago. I also have a 90cc scooter which doesn't really get used much now-a-days as I just love riding my 600 My husband rides an 01R1 Streetfighter which he loves and really doesn't want to upgrade We also run our own motorcycle forum based in Australia ... it has bee…

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow a…

Hi Guys , new to the board but from what I've seen so far I'm sure it will come in very handy over the next few months. Anyway, wondering if you guys might be able to help me, well the xs650 guys anyway. Can anyone tell me if the xs650 special/ custom shared the same frame/chassis with the roadster type bikes or indeed can anyone tell me what differences there were between the custom models and the roadster type bikes ? for example was it the same chassis just longer forks and bigger wheels. Please excuse my ignorance but I hope you might be able to help. many thanks gerard

Hi, my name is Ben and I just picked up a 1987 Yamaha Radian last week. It has 25k miles on it. This is my first bike and pretty new into the whole world of two wheels. It seems to run pretty well, but the owner told me that she was getting about 30mpg. That seems pretty low to me. i thought these should get mid 40's easy. am i wrong? I take it changing the plugs and wires, along with a new air filter would help a lot, but would it make that much of a difference? while poking around i found the air filter and looked oily & pretty dirty. these aren't oiled filters are they? i would guess the filter is a big part of it. and another thing i noticed was that the little ru…
