neighbor guy wanted to see my bike. long story short, I only got my 2006 FZ6 out of storage a week ago. Put the battery in (3 years old & on a tender this winter) started it up, rode 7 miles after prep/lube,etc., parked in garage. started up 2 days ago for about 5 minutes. everything...

FZ6 is a great bike and has been my favorite street/sport bike due to it's veritility. However, my favorite bike has been....a Kaw Meanstreak ! Can'texplain it, it just is.

I'm 49 and this is my second recent "sportbike". I prefer the FZ6 and it fits my style a little more and I can push it hard when I want. I came from dirts, cruisers, and touring bikes, the last two I still have. I moved to the sportbikes from these. I have yet to do the sport tourer...

Not on the FZ6. Once on my Goldwing when a deer ran into me and many times on the dirtbikes. Tipped over once when I put my foot down in a pothole at a stop on my Meanstreak cruiser.:spank:

LOL- well it will probably be here since it will soon be the dreaded snow season:eek:

To bad your so far away. Got an '06 with very low miles, garaged, and babied.

I'd personally leave the FZ6 alone. However, for those wanted increases in HP..well, when you can max out the performance in the FZ6, (Most can't do this)but If you can, it's time to upgrade to a different bike unless you want bragging rights with a "FZ6". Otherwise a stocker FZ1 will be faster...

Good question. I've been thinking about selling a '06 red FZ6 for about$4,500.00 ? due to it's mint condition and low miles. (1,600 miles and a few add ons too) however, haven't gotten a feel for the market yet. (I can only drive one)

I have not tried any of the anti-fog products out there so this was a good question for me too. I usually crack my visor just a bit and that takes care of the fog issue.

Yes, I have one and yes it must be a gift. We have a tradition amongst those I ride with that when you know, or are familiar with (such as a co-worker, church menber, riding group, etc) gets a bike, one of us always gifts a bell. That person then tries to return the favor to the next person...

It was a Kawasaki 125 dirt/trail. I believe a 1976 or '77 ?

Not the FZ6. My Goldwing hit the ground when a deer hit me. My bad was when I stopped with my Kaw Meanstreak and put my foot down without looking...right into a pothole and I tipped right over before I could catch it. No damage or injury thought...other than my pride and lesson learned...

Hurts me to say it, but I may have to sell the FZ6. The spose wants a different bike she will ride on and the 6 isn't it, even thought this is my "just me" bike. Gasp ! I'm still trying to negotiate but....

The secret to an easy lift is: Start facing the bike, put both feet close to the stand, side by side with your left foot as close to the center stand pedal as possible, put your right foot on the pedal, shift your weight, pushing down on the pedal, lift up on your handrail a little. When you...

Good ideal, thanks.
