    Gen 1 Tall-Wide windshield

    Don't know much about it. Traded from someone here. I do know its 23" tall at the tallest point and 26" wide at its widest point. It does have surface scratches..lookslike just from washing and age. I've never used it so I can't tell you hw it works. Maybe someone here will know what it is...

    Rifle...+4 to trade

    Looking to trade my rifle +4 for something else. Already have the stock screen.. so don't need it. Maybe a vstream, casci, etc.. My bike is an 03...so anything thru 05, I think, will work.

    Who served in the military

    This may have been done...but I thought being 4th of July might be a good time to see who served in the military. Maybe just your branch, mos, favorite duty station, years you were in, etc...I'll start.. Served from 1979 thru 1985 in the USMC. Went to Parris Island for boot camp. Quite the...

    Low beams not working

    My low beams aren't working on my 2003. Removed the switch and cleaned...even lost the spring..LOL Looks like the switch just closes the high beam circuit. Checked the fuse..looks like it does both so wasn't that. Maybe the bulb..but would seem odd that both would be out.. unless the low...

    Amatuer Road Racing

    Going to a school and track day in a couple weeks. With this schoo..minimal bike mods are required. So gonna use the stock R6. After the school, and I get my licence (maybe) I plan on getting a track bike already modded. I'm thinking it would be cheaper and better to go that route than to...

    A Late Spring Weekend

    Remember when the snow was so deep you couldn't wait to ride? (You folks in the south and west can skip this part) Even the deer were tired of this white shiet. Well...lets fast forward a few months and go on a ride thru West Virginia when its warmer. :clapping:

    Sometimes..when pushing the start button I hear the click but no start..or delayed starting. It doesn't happen all the time. Any ideas on where to start looking. Hoping its something fairly common that some here have had happen before. BTW...its an 03 with 65,000 miles. Thanks Gary

    Heat fix

    I did cromiets heat fix today. Pretty easy process. Only take about an hour. Rode it..but fairly chilly today.. so not sure of the degree (no pun intended) of improvement. It seems better but probably not as much as expected. Will report more when it warms up. I also put a heat shield...

    CCT install

    Thought I'd comment on the CCT install I did today. THANKS yamafitter for the "how to" thread. And to everyone on the forum for their input. The only PITA is the lower bolt. Just follow yamafitters instructions and it goes ok. FWIW..the original tensioner was still in good condition...

    Purchase question for R6

    Found an R6 for a good price but the seller owes money to the bank on it. He actually owes more than he's selling it to me for. I'm not sure how to purchase the bike.. I don't feel comfortable giving him the money then waiting for the bank to release the title. It all seem legit but..I'm...

    Ride Report
