I trust you will be able to carry enough to keep yourself properly hydrated. :beer:

Congrats on the new bike! It appears to have many of the desired upgrades for a modern machine and I think the blue color will grow on you. :thumbup:

Damn, I was thinking my computer was just running better. Thanks Dennis, modern technology can be a wonderful thing, but I do kind of miss that dial up sound of entering into another dimension. Man am I getting old. Motogiro :thumbup:

One of these days........ Be Safe :thumbup:

You will find the sweet spot for your particular tire. They appear as though they have been replaced and are in good shape. I personally think that owning the FZ6 however corny as it may sound is very personal. You will discover the setup that you and the motorcycle are comfortable with and...

One of the tricks to a good chain lube starts with a good cleaning. Then go out an do a short 15 min. ride to heat the chain up. You will find that not as much lubricant is necessary to accomplish the task. I know I initially applied too much lube and dealt with a mess at the back end, but you...

Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing. What tires were you using? :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply. It's always interesting to hear how we find / decide on the FZ6. Glad you are still with us based on your need for speed and your R6 / Z1000 experience. Enjoy! :thumbup:

Just curious , what is the date coding in the sidewall? Regardless, as mentioned above ^^^ they appear slightly rotten and time to replace despite showing some tread.

Welcome Nick, you are in good hands..:welcome: :needpics: Please post up a pic or two of your 6 and if you don't mind, answer the question.. Why did you select this particular motorcycle. Just curious I guess. Thanks, Kenh

I concur. I think it's is lack of ATGATT that makes it believable.

:rockon: ROAD TRIP !!! :rockon:

Erci, A new toy and now a new toy house! That's awesome my friend, you're living the dream. Enjoy, that's a beautiful part of the country. But I am little concerned that you will not be able to fill that huge garage.... :thumbup:

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing your experiences and more importantly are open to comments. In the motorized food chain world, motorcycles will be beat be every other car, van truck, etc. that we are sharing the road with. Your first gut reaction is to let the motorist that...

I followed Scott's advice a couple of weeks ago when I put on a new set of PR4's. Bike on center stand, loosen rear axle bolt since it has the most torque. Then finally used my scissor jack from my 10 year old car with a 2x4 under the headers and it worked great, however you do have to use...

FWIW, you can't really lube the bearings in the manner that you are showing. On each side of the bearing (front and rear) are aluminum collars that the axles fit through. I too needed to change my tires this season so I removed the wheels and took them to my dealer and had them mount the tires...

FWIW, I have taken a trip or two out east and I love that part of the country. I wasn't intending to generalize at all. In most cases it's the 2 or 3% that give cities a bad rep. I am glad to hear that you sorted things out. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I am not sure there is anything wrong with the way you are perceiving these traffic situations. The Northeast has been plagued by groups of riders on motorcycles and atv's that have little respect for law enforcement - even when they travelling next to them. I wish I understood why they can't...

You will be satisfied with the Shoei. It will feel very snug at first, but then after a short while it will feel very comfortable. It also handles the buffeting pretty well.:thumbup:
