    Top saddlery Seat 04-09 FZ6

    Regrettably, I am selling my Top Saddlery Seat. It's in very very good condition. $275 firm + shipping. First dibs to a local buyer in the Fraser Valley that I can meet somewhere cash in hand. If no interest by the weekend then it's up for grabs. If shipped I can only do paypal. It comes with...

    Tools/ Tips for Fork Seal Replacement?

    I'm not sure how many will agree with me but I used the old seals to drive the new seals into place using a vise grip and a hammer. I extended the vise grip around the tube without touching the tube and after taping the vise grip jaws with black electrical tape. I then tapped the vise grips with...

    I bought another Bike

    Okay, I'm now done fixing and piecing together the PC800. What a lot of work but it was alot of fun and I learned a ton. After removing 30 pieces of plastic off the bike to see whats underneath,,,I learned that working on the FZ6 is a piece of cake compared to the PC. Anyway....here's a few...

    I bought another Bike

    Just thought I'd share that I bought an old bike last week. New to me but old and kinda rare. It's a 1989 Honda Pacific Coast. I think I felt sorry for it at the time:Flash: Anyway, it's in my garage in pieces as I'm going thru it and will fix and change a few things on it. (Hope I didn't bite...

    Do you listen to music while you ride?

    I never listen to music or use my phone while riding. That's part of what I'm trying to avoid while on a ride. I ride to escape the usual distractions of everyday life and enjoy the interactiveness of riding....sights, smells, no distractions.

    FZ6-N Whine in 4th gear

    My 2006 FZ6 does exactly the same thing. It whines only in 4th gear. It has done it since the day I bought it. My conclusion after 56000 kms is that its normal. (That's after 4 different sets of tires and a couple sets of sprockets and chains).

    Time for tires

    +1 on the 023's. By far my favourite tires so far on the FZ6. Good grip in all conditions and longevity seems good so far. I do not do track days and mostly like sport touring with lots of spirited riding thru the twisties. I've had 020's ,021's and Mich Pilot Roads on my bike so far, so my...

    Valve Adjustments, have you had it done?

    Your post makes a lot of sense. I agree with you fully, and there's a deal you really can't pass up, Kenny. A road trip with a free valve adjustment (plus parts of course). Does it really get any better!!:Sport:

    I have HEL brakelines on my FZ6. They are excellent! One of the best mods I've done to my Bike.

    Sticker removal- methods? solvents?

    A heat gun has always worked well for me. Heat up the sticker and slowly peel it off with your fingers. Keep applying heat while you peel off the stickers. (A little hot on the pinkies, but works well). If you don't have a heat gun, after you've feathered out your mullet with your blow-dryer,use...

    Top Case or Two larger Sidecases???

    I have a coocase top case and haven't really noticed any changes in the way my bike responds for the most part. The only 2 ways I notice any difference is that it does give me crappier gas mileage and (although not recommended) it does affect my top end speed a little. FWIW.
