    F6B Quick Tips



    What are any and all of your “quick tips” when it comes to riding and caring for your F6B? Let’s pass on our knowledge and experience that we’ve gained from years of riding to other riders.

    It can be anything from how you stay comfortable on a long ride to waterproofing your speakers and anything in between.

    I’ll go first: Slipping your riding boots into waterproof overshoes can be a pain. Next time, try placing plastic grocery bags over your boots first and pulling on the overshoes will be a breeze!

    Ok- I'll go a long.

    1. I use dryer sheets to remove the bugs on the front of the bike, I keep extra sheets in the saddlebags to make the bags smell fresh. Of course anything I throw in the saddlebags will smell fresh also.

    Just make sure that the stuff you put on your bike works
    The Farkle shelf works.
    The only things that should be on your handlebars are the switches
    Autocom works
    Bluetooth Intercom is only for day-trippers

    I spray Lemon Pledge on all my chrome & paint just before going on a long distance ride, sure helps with bug guts removal after the trip as I don't clean my scoot while on a ride.

    Applies not to just the F6B, but any vehicle:

    Check only cold: the engine oil level and tire pressure

    Don't watch videos for mods on a 1st generation wing and expect the 2nd generation wing to be the same.

    The pegs scraping is like 90% of your lean angle. Take the noise as a warning, not a challenge

    Ice cube trays are a great way to keep track of and organize small screws and push pins when working on your bike.

    Let's stick to tips and tricks.

    I carry a small piece of plywood 4"X5" to place under my side stand whenever the ground or pavement is soft.
