  1. I will buy these next Friday via PayPal, Google Wallet or SquareCash if you can ship them to Springfield.
  2. Think a lot of it just comes from not having time on the bike. I just went out during lunch and practiced making tighter and tigher u-turns and becoming more comfortable with just how far I can turn and lean to bring that turn tighter. It was great to see how wide my first ones were compared to near the end of my little practice session.
  3. Its the gloves. The seam around the wrist is just slightly too tight and at the angle my wrist is at, it cuts off circulation a bit. Trying to think of a clever way to stretch it, gloves fit well other than that one spot.
  4. Signed up for the MFS course in April. You are correct, I did coast. I wont do that anymore. The shuttering of the bike because of the degree of engine braking is what makes me do that.
  5. Will do! Weather is coming up to get out more. Just did 10 minutes on break of clutch practice in the garage.
  6. I dont give it a lot of gas so I can avoid doing the wheelies lol Also the reason I have been pulling the clutch in, although I know I shouldnt, is because of the heavy engine braking which I just need to get used to as I practice revv matching to downshift without getting bucked around. I will be spending my breaks at work in my garage doing clutch practice, which I have neglected for a few weeks. Thanks for the helpful information Tonik!
  7. Just looking for input on areas of improvement for myself as a new rider. I have only the miles on this bike as my total experience on a street bike. I come from a 0 experience motorcycle family. Thanks!
  8. I am looking to bundle with my car if it will save me money. Called Pekin and they are working up a quote for me.
  9. I did Progressive, Allstate, Geico, Nationwide. Allstate was the best. Just sent in a request for a quote to Pekin to see though.
  10. $1,158.88 for 12 months is what I got mine down to.
  11. Do you have a contact number for them so I can get a quote?
  12. Just switched to AllState and got my deductibles down from 1000 to 500 and ended up saving money. This is the first time Geico has ever screwed me so hard. They said my FZ07 is a super performance bike or some nonsense. I'd like to know where the other 300cc and turbo went that my bike supposedly has.
  13. Maybe it would be better to get it insured on my parents insurance?
  14. Looking for recommendations on who to get my motorcycle insurance through. Everything seems like a total rip off.
  15. I am for sure in. Got a good schedule for work.
  16. Good news everyone. Its not that I forgot how electricity work. Its the combination of a bad forum post on FZ07 forum and a dud signal. So found out the front left was hooked up wrong, the dark brown is turn, the light brown is the running light. I noticed the resistor was extremely hot. Also the "park" fuse was blown. Swapped it around, tested leads, leads were good and now correct. But wait! Now the light doesnt turn on even though the other 3 do. Grab test light. Its not resister, its the light itself. So did the signal break from being wired wrong? (hot resistor) or was it a dud to begin with which blew a fuse or two. Gonna contact Revzilla tomorrow and look about getting a replacement. I put that shit all back together before I killed someone and the right side is perfect, left rear flashes fast because its missing a resistor in the line.
  17. Also. The front has 3 connections, replacements have 2. One is ground, one is hot, one is running. These dont support the running lights which I dont care about. Does the running light lead get connected to the + or capped off?
  18. I am wondering if the other 3 stock lights are acting weird because now only one light is LED and the other 3 are not. So if I were to hook up the other 3 LEDs that they would act as they should once complete.
  19. A fuse was blown. Replaced it. Now brake light works and the front right turn signal is always on, but none of the others do anything lol Whats a test light?
