Hi lads and ladies. :thumbup:

New member from Radelaide here...I've introduced myself in the new Members section, so I'll try not to repeat myself too much. :)

I bought an 06 FZ6N for the Mrs on Monday. It was 7,000kms old and cost $5K, but it had been neglected....

It needed new tyres, oil & filter, brake fluid, coolant, air filter check and clean, and a thorough dismantle/clean/lube/reassemble. I had that done by Wednesday arvo, so I took it to Lobie to scrub in the tyres...

And now it's refreshed, what a brilliant little machine! I really enjoyed it.
BUT....I had to hand it over...:( And here's my girl on her first ride in 3 years...like a duck to water.

I have crash posts, tapered roller head stem bearings and cups, and fork seals on the way. One fork is weeping slightly, and I want to piss the OEM water they put in the forks, off. And I really need to release some noise and address the snatchy throttle. I can ride around it, but she will struggle to....so I guess a PCIII and some slip-ons are in order.

I'd rather spend a little extra for a quality system, than pay Redline extortionate amounts of $...So if anyone knows of some used mufflers going, please let me know.

Cheers muchly.

Ben. ;)

Well I'm new to the site & will post pics soon of my baby.

She's an 09fz6n with harlequin paint. In the short time I've owned her she has been given a tail tidy, renthal bars, spikey mirrors and Led indicators. Waiting on my two brothers carbon fibre exhaust from the states. The exhaust & power commander will be an early xmas present to myself :)
 
Here's a few pics of my 09 fz6n. Unsure why some things were underlined in my last post but I am looking forward to new pipes. The first 2 were taken before I made any changes and the last one was taken on Sunday.

That paint is different with purple into grey blending/gradient.

Those underlines you see are the forum software creating links to other internet sites when you type text it recognizes. The text should be blue in color and if you click on it, it will redirect you to an outside site. :)
Click on one!

Well you're certainly going to stand out in a line up of FZ6's! :)
 
Just searched and realised mine never made it on this thread (at least not under my ownership). Here she is pretty much when I bought it. Quite a few mods already done. A few more done by me over the last few years. Currently undergoing a colour transformation. Stay tuned.......

Here's my girl the day after purchasing. 2004 model, quite clean, well maintained and pretty much stock at this stage. Stock exhaust is a bit to silent for me though.
