Disregard! Solved! So, I thought what are the odds that it pulled a connection apart from the handlebars creating a tight pull on the wires...I took the battery out and its housing and starting feeling around. The wiring connection between the wires that come down off the start/stop switch run...

Hi all. Back in the FZ6 game (my third one). I recently picked this one up and have been doing some basic maintenance on it and minor modifications. Today I backed it out of my garage while running, stalled it once and then it would not start back up at all. Here is where I am at with it...

In the last 4 years I have bought and sold 16 bikes and 5 cars. I do this as a hobby and to see if I can spin a profit when it is all said and done. I am "up" $3,800 to date. I have bought many bikes by "lowballing". I dont really understand that term since it is all relative. At the end of...

Is it worth $450...that is debatable. I would say that the profit markup is a bit high. It may cost $100-150 for parts and labor to produce one "custom" seat. IMO all the gunfighter seats produced for the FZ6 are made the same way with a few exceptions for extremly heavy/light people. All...

Ok I am back from my trip. It was amazing. Again the FZ6 did not dissapoint. Notes/Facts: 1. 1200 miles (about 200-220 a day), which to me is about perfect. I like to do things after I reach a destination, mainly hit a bar or two. 2. 51.5 MPG give or take 1 MPG for most of the trip...

Ok pic this time?

Hopefully that picture loaded. My first stop today was Lake Placid. Ate at a really good sandwich place just as you enter the the main drag....cant remember the name. Anyhow, pretty nice riding day about 190miles down and no issues, other than my butt started hurting around 100miles on my...

Every year I break away for a week or so and just ride. I try and get a buddy that can do the trip with me but most of the time people can take a week off for whatever reason (work, wife, etc..) In any case this is something I started 5 years ago and really enjoy. I did a write up on my trip...

I am a big FZ8 fan and have thought about upgrading several times. As for price, I have found many 2011 FZ8s in the $4000-$6000 range. I think the F800R will be a bit more pricey. If your looking at new, the BMW is a bit more like $1300 or so, so really comes down to the creature comforts...

Xavias, no problem. My main reason was last year's 1000 mile, week long trip I took. I remember that after about 100-150 miles on the stock seat my ass was sore and I began to dread getting on the next day.

Well, I was an ordnance (maintenance and ammo) officer in the army...however once you make captain and graduate the advanced course your branch changes to logistics. So I am a logistics officer with a background in maintenance and ammo...but in command of a quartermaster company...its a bit...

All, as the title says I just ordered a new Corbin. I have gone round and round on what is the best seat for the money. I have read many reviews and decided on a Corbin. I do have a question for anyone that ordered a seat of the site. the price was $439. There was no shipping charge...

Exactly...whoaaa there guys...call back the dogs. The only point we are making is the majority of the time someone makes a post in the classifieds it will benifit the buyer and the seller. Thats all.

I am going to have to agree with MDFB42 on this one. Normally if someone puts something out there like hey I have a code for a discount, but just want the cash there has to be a bit of give and take. I understand that it would be helping you out for someone to just give you cash for the...

Out-freakin-standing. I love when people make their bike "theirs" Great work!:rockon:
