Default Looking for a How-to? Post your request here!

If you want to know how to do any maintenance on you R6, any years, let me know and I will see if I can put one together.

Also if anyone wants to help me out with anything, as far as critiquing, adding some of your own advice, feel free to speak up.

They light up, but I'm not really planning on having to rapid-fire turn off and on the turn signal switch.
There is a wire that is always on(running lights) and one that is pulsing(turn signal) and of course the ground. You need to hook up to the right wire and it will blink. There is also such thing as blinking LEDs that will flash with constant power(running lights wire). If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me and I can try to help you out.

How about "how to install track bodywork"

It seems simple at first, but the more I look into it, the more complicated it gets. Starting with drilling holes, choosing the right fastners, dremmeling things to fit, making sure things are on straight, etc, etc.

A how-to for a shock upgrade to Ohlins or Penske would be nice!

Or atleast a bracket idea/location for the remote resevoir.

Default R1 throttle tube

I can't find the R1 throttle conversion how-to anymore. I'm just about to try and do it after having the part for a year, anyone know where it is?

That is not really an easy task. You have to understand the conceptual side of electronics. NO, it isn't hard, there are just too many variables.

Different LED bulbs have different currents they can operate at, the number of LEDs in a circuit vary. . .all this determines what size resistor you use.

LEDs are also polarized, meaning they have a + side and a - side.

If you have some ideas that you are trying to acheive, I will certainly give detailed explinations and create some rough schematics for you. I am not an electronic whiz, so if you get too over the top, I might have to use a "phone-a-friend."
