I'm interested in risers. Where did you get yours? Thanks

I would like to have some follow up with this thread. I'm interested as well in some risers. It looks like the Zeta brand is the way to go? I've been pouring through Ebay with "compatible" risers. Has anyone purchased these? From China, Turkey, Etc.? BTW, if anyone is looking for bolts and...

Just wanted to give an update as new FZ6 owner. So far I'm really enjoying this machine. Much different than my 98 concours. After a few weeks of commuting, I think I had her figured out. Great handling, and I love that I can roll it out of the garage with more ease. Best decision i've ever...

So, I'm in the process of putting new tires on the bike. I'm currently doing the front. I've notice that the axle was pretty dry. What should I be dong about this? Anything?

I would love an update on your sprocket and chain situation. Did you get the RPM's you wanted at the highway? Also, did it throw off your display MPH v.s. acutal?

Just an update on the oil light. I did my final test ride before the purchase, and everything was good to go. It seems that the 2 year old oil change was probably the culprit. I got the rpms up and got that engine up to operating temps. No sign of the light coming on. Also, after reading the...

Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed that the exhaust has a decent heat shield on it already. So, I should be good to go with whatever I go with.

I like your setup. I'm thinking the same route for luggage. My time in summer is limited, so a few days of "touring", and camping is all I need from my luggage. The prices from mainstream luggage are too much for me. Thanks for the insight about the "sag" issues. I was wondering about that.

Its official, I'm a 07 FZ6 owner!! I'm hoping this thread will be host an arrangement of touring questions instead of starting "new" topics. What are your experiences with "soft" side luggage? I'm not willing to spend hundreds on the racks. Plus, I want the option of just putting them on for...

I'm thinking about using the tire sealant that you mentioned in a post. Did you use the low amount or toward the severe dosage amount? I'm soon going to be a 2007 Fz6 owner. Thanks

Ohendo, Thanks for the info, I'm curious about your top case and soft bag setup. What's your setup? This will probably be one of my first add-ons. I do some camping at rallies and I want some ability to carry some gear. Thanks again! deuce

Thank you everyone for the feedback, it is much appreciated. I'm definitely leaning toward the purchase. I've enjoyed the concours immensely. But, I feel that a lighter bike, the "more fun" aspect and being able to go some miles is what I need. 95% of my riding is interstate commuting. I'll...

We have turned the corner and spring will be here before we know it. I joined the forum mainly for intel on the FZ6. Thanks you all for the great info. I have a chance to purchase an 07 at an incredible price point. So, I'm wondering about the riders that do some touring. I know that this...

Thank you for all the feed back. I've owned 3 bikes and ran all beads in them. I guess I do not know if wear is different compared to traditional weights. Beads claim to balance during riding especially when you are getting toward the end of its life. It is important with beads to get correct...

Has anyone ever ran beads in their FZ6's tires. I know that they are not for every application. I've owned 2 bikes and that is all I ran were beads. I've never had a problem. But, This being a different make and model, I'm curious. Thanks

Thanks Chris for the input. I've made a verbal commitment to buy a 07 fz6. So, all the info and little things like checking the oil are very helpful. I changed the oil and filter as it was 2 years over due according to the seller. So far so good. Can't wait until spring already. This is a great...

Awesome! So, how does it work?

Thanks everyone for the reply. I did an oil and filter change for the seller. I also added a couple oz of seafoam(right or wrong) to the crankcase prior to the oil change and rode for 25 miles. Post oil change, I rode the bike back to the owner and tried to replicate the issue. I got rpms up...

I'm wondering what oil filter brands are you running in your FZ's? Part numbers would be great. Thanks

Hello, I'm a potential FZ6 rider. I'm currently looking to purchase a 2007 FZ6. The seller(a close acquaintance) graciously let me take it out for some miles. I got on the freeway and everything was great. When I got up to the posted 70 MPH limit, the red oil light came on after about 2 minutes...
