Like mentioned above, it sounds like your clutch is slipping under hard acceleration. How many miles do you have on it? Might be a good idea to pull your clutch cover and check your friction plates out. Could also be from some nasty dirty oil in there too.

Just follow what's already been said above, there's some good advice there. If you're worried about hitting a bump and knocking a tie down loose I've found that a bungee cord hooked into the hook holes on the tie down straps will hold it taught so it can't fall off the tie down point. When I...

OP, when I'm getting the front end up I like to start between 15-25mph (usually closer to 15) then just blip the throttle up to about 8-9k and work the clutch. I'm not the best at them, lots of guys I ride with can out-wheelie me but they also can start in higher gears whereas the fz6 just...

20 here. been riding dirtbikes since i was 11, on the street since i was 15, my first ride was a tomos lol

I've read through it several times and i think the decision will be made after i can contact the two companies tomorrow and see what they have to say.

That's very true. Popularity can be a sign of people being happy with them too. I agree that sound is really the only benefit you're going to get, and it's also a safety kind of thing too. Just the other day I had my first run in with a lady merging into my lane, probably because she didn't...

Well I'm in the market for a new exhaust for my FZ and price, sound and looks are all big factors in my decision. I've not heard any other exhaust on an FZ except for stock because I'm the only one here in town. So here's what it comes down to. I'm looking at the Remus CF or Titanium set w/o DB...

Ok, after giving it some thought that's what i figured it meant. Thanks for the clarification!!

So what exactly is 'lane splitting'? I don't understand what you're getting at. Like sharing a lane with a cager?

Great pics and it's cool to see brothers riding sister bikes too!

For the chain lube I recommend Bel-Ray Super Clean. This is what I use on my dirtbikes and its super tacky and resists flinging off like the lighter duty chain lubes. It comes out white so it looks kinda cool too.

Hey everyone. I'll be picking up my 08 FZ6 tomorrow and I'm looking for people to ride with in the southern Ohio area. Maybe you guys could show me some good scenic routes and whatnot. When I had my old Maxim I never really took it out that far, longest round trip being maybe 100 miles at a...

One thing I noticed when I was looking at it is that they have Brembo master cylinders but use Nissin calipers, why dont they use the whole Brembo setup, too touchy?

Thanks! I'm sure I'll be on here a lot gathering loads of info, whenever I'm not out tearing it up. How many miles do you usually get out of a set of chain and sprockets? Stock gearing felt pretty good when I rode it but I'll need some time on it before I can really get a feel for it.

Well I went and checked it out today, everything is tight and works as it should. It's got 2200 miles instead of 2800. Man I can't wait until later this week when I can go pick it up. Here's a teaser pic for the meantime :thumbup:
