I've been using stock mirrors but have considered switching to bar ends in addition to a RiderScan mirror. Not sure how popular the product is here in USA but I've seen several reviews and generally good things about it... Riderscan

The battery was certainly the culprit in this case... thanks everyone for your assistance! As for the fuel gauge, it was all connected but I'll be re-investigating that issue at a later date. Perhaps some debris in the contacts but we'll see.

I sure hope it's a great starter bike! I put a deposit down on a 2006 FZ6 and will be picking it up later this week. I figured this forum is going to be a great resource as I start out and learn the ropes. Having never ridden a motorcycle before, it's going to be a fun time I'm sure. I look...
