There was an article about a guy in California who absolutely had to
have a FZ750, back when they were imported into Canada but not the USA.
They found him. They crushed the FZ into a little block of metal, and
then they fined him. (Imagine how he felt six months later, when FZ's
were available everywhere!)

The article was in Cycle magazine, if I remember right.

Say WHAT???  This sounds like, "Well, the kind of engine damage we see
here occurs only under sudden deceleration, like when you stomp on the
brakes to avoid a collision, and I'm afraid that voids your warranty."

Or, "This warranty covers all mechanical problems until something goes
wrong, at which point the warranty is void."

Sounds like some warranty!  I'm glad I've never had one, now.

	When I raced a Yamaha TD250 I rarely used the clutch and when

1-800-747-4100.  I was originally told this was Allied Van Lines, but
they answer the phone as "The Federal Companies".  They shipped my Guzzi
from CT to OR for $500.  Took about a week and a half.  There are a few
holes in their tracking system: the middle of the range they quoted
me fell on a Thursday.  I called in on Wednesday to ask how it was going.
After several hours of calls and callbacks, with them obviously flustered,
I was told that the bike wouldn't arrive for another week.  1/2 hour later
the Portland, OR dock called to say the bike had arrived.  It was generally
in good shape but had obviously been tipped over.  I had paid $41 extra
for insurance, so I went away with claim form in hand, but when I got
home I just bent the signal back into place and let the matter drop.
You can't tell that it got bent, anyhow.

BTW, they _will_ ask you for your AMA number.

I just use a regular car battery charger on trickle charge during the
winter
months.  I don't remember the model but it was one I bought in an auto
parts
store.  I think it cost around  $40-$50.  Works fine.  The manual that
came 
with it said that the charger senses when the battery is fully charged
(it also
has a gauge on the front) that then cuts off the charging to the battery.
Any comments from anyone else?

While I can't comment on AAA's response to emergency calls from motorcycles
(their response to cager calls has occasionally been less than exemplary, but
that's neither here nor there), the nice woman at AAA was very helpful when I
titled and tagged my bike. Finally updated the address on my driver's license,
too (which was nullified by my most recent move anyway, but hey...). It's
worth the membership fee to have someone deal with all the PA paperwork for me.
(Then again, not everyone has new bike paperwork every six months.) As has
been said, YMMV.

Do any of the aforementioned motorcycle-oriented clubs deal with this junk?
How does their range compare to AAA?

That's one of the reasons that I do all of my own work.  Elsewise, how do
you *know* that the fork oil's been changed?

I suspect the habit of Japanese marque tuneups *not* covering little things
like fork oil and brake fluid is one of the reasons that BMW bikes have the
reputation of longevity over Japanese bikes.

OTOH, from what I have heard about the local BMW/Suzuki dealership, their
service department is more Suzuki than BMW.

A buddy of mine just bought a used (Suzuki) bike from someone (whom I also

the bike on a regular basis.  What did he find?  BROWN, UGLY brake fluid.

depending on your bank,you may or not pay a commission for the travellers
checks.  also, thomas cooke, i belive, does not charge commission for theirs.

you can also get an ATM card from a bank that has reciprocal agreements
with some of the large inter-bank clearinghouses.  my bank of america
versateller card is good in ATM machines that subscribe to the "star,"
"cirrus," or "plus" systems.  unfortunately, b of a charges $1+ for each
withdrawal from said systems (so i rarely use it), but not all banks charge for
the service. hunt around.

Try using some WD-40. A light coating on all possible rust areas will do
the trick. I spray some on the carbs as well, since I have seen carbs pit
badly from oxidation over the winter. The stuff is such a light oil, that
I dont even bother to wipe it off in the spring. Truly a miracle in a can.

Um, Mr. Lyle Mackey, Ill give you some hints. One of them is the same
brand as your EX, even the same year. The name even rhymes with EX (you
still with me?, Ill try not to confuse you), except I have a larger
**displacement** between my legs than you do loser. I bet your
girlfriend/boyfriend tells you that women/"?" dont care about a mans
**displacement**......hmmm.

I don't know much about engines and such and was
wondering if somebody could tell me the differences
between wet and dry sump lubrication.  What are the
advantages/disadvantages (if any) of one over the other?

Thanks in advance.

I'll second the dirty fuel filter suggestion.

I've had this in the car too... although it sputtered around 60, so
I didn't even get near the DoD Nominal speed.
