    Feeler: Loaded 2010 Tiger 1050 (over $12k in mods)

    I could use the garage space- $6k takes it. I’m willing to deliver to CT/MA/RI. EDIT: SOLD

    FJ-09 anyone?

    No experience with the FJ09, but if you’re looking for an awesome sport-touring bike with an in-line triple engine, my Tiger 1050 is for sale. And I’m local. https://www.600riders.com/forum/sell-your-bike-car-truck/58408-feeler-loaded-2010-tiger-1050-over-12k-mods.html#post640921 It’s...

    R6 vs FZ6 S2 other models front calipers

    07-09 FZ6 front calipers are the same as the 03-04 R6 front calipers, just the different color inserts. 03-04 R6 is the same as the 06-09(?) R6S

    Thoughts on converting 05FZ6 to dedicated track bike?

    The pilot roads are plenty sticky enough for your first few track days, probably at least until you get to mid/fast intermediate group. As long as they have plenty of tread, drop the pressures down to 30/30 and let er rip!

    Motorcycle Airbag Protection, Do You? Would You?

    I crash tested my Helite GP-Air airbag vest at the track this past Spring. 40-50mph lowside, a little slide with some rolling/tumbling. The vest operates perfectly, no damage to me, minimal scuffs to the vest. And I’m convinced it helped keep my fancy carbon helmet from contacting the pavement...

    Thoughts on converting 05FZ6 to dedicated track bike?

    For a track noob, you won’t be eating though tires on a 600 nearly as fast as an advanced rider, so tire cost isn’t much of a factor. In fall of 2013 I did a track day on my FZ6 and decided I wanted to get more into it the following year so I bought a “dedicated track bike” - something that...

    Bump, anyone looking for a bigger and more powerful British made version of their FZ6?

    Voltmeter worth having?

    If you have a dual headlight mod and use heated gear, it’s worth installing a voltmeter, as the FZ6 charging system doesn’t have a lot of excess charging ability. I’ve used cheap $5 ebay ones on a few bikes. Here’s pics of the first revision of my install...

    07 FZ6 bar risers question

    I used a pair of the SW Motech ones in this link with no issues: GStwin.com Wiki - Handlebar Risers I ended up swapping to a much taller set of handlebars, maybe 2.5-3” taller. The cables are pretty easy to reroute. You can get an extra inch or so out of the brake lines by swapping the long...

    Feeler: Loaded 2010 Tiger 1050 (over $12k in mods)

    Bump. Just had the fork seals replaced. Brand new Brembo pads installed up front (to go with the Brembo calipers/rotors/MC upgrades). Did a ~100 mile 2-up ride last weekend. With the 1050’s torque, the Racetech/Ohlins suspension, and the Brembo brakes, this bike was unfazed by the addition of...

    BD43 / Dual Headlight Mod - Best tutorial?

    See my post #9. https://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/57092-dual-headlights.html#post627614 Edit: just checked out that video. Yes, its the same as the way my bike was done. The green wire at the left handlebar runs back under the tank to a connector, then the bd43 harness plugs into the...

    Bump, going to pull the forks this weekend to have the seals replaced. The bike will be ready to go for the lucky buyer!

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    G2 throttle tamer helps a little bit. Also, adjust out all the slack in the throttle cable.

    Saddlebag Mount/Guards?

    I highly doubt they will fit. Here's a CHEAP possible solution: https://www.sportbikes.net/forums/2506383-post14.html I dont still have my 2007 FZ6, otherwise I would let you know what size PVC pipe works best (the 04-06 and 07-09 had different passenger pegs). Do a search on here, there's been...

    Feeler: Loaded 2010 Tiger 1050 (over $12k in mods)

    Feeler: Loaded 2010 Tiger 1050 (over $10k in mods) Purchased this bike last fall as an upgrade from my FZ6. It's a phenomenal motorcycle, but I’m considering downsizing to something smaller. 27XXX miles. The previous owner was a renowned Triumph technician, and farkled it to the extreme. All...
