First of all, hello everyone again! I haven't posted or even lurked here in a while but I hope to do more so now that riding season is slowly making its way back. It's almost June which means my annual re-up of insurance so here's one of my famous(?) threads on rate premium comparisons. ENJOY...

While I was walking around in New Hope on Mother's Day (Sunday) I saw a black and blue FZ6 parked on the street of the main street. Was that anyone's on here? I got really excited because FZ6's are rare but I left before the rider came back to it.

My bike is completely stock and it kept up pretty damn well with a Suzuki Bandit (not sure what displacement, it definitely had to be a 600 or more though) and an R1 in a straight and some winding roads the other day. I dare say if I didn't have a passenger and were a better sport shifter it'd...

(2014 Thread) These quotes are for the most basic level of insurance, which is what I get. Current Insurance (Rider) wants $156.40 but here's the breakdown which includes competitor rates which I assume everyone else would find similarly comparable results (or rather ratios of price, company...

So I'm due for new or renewed insurance June 14th of this year so as usually I'm off shopping and here's what I came up with. I have the most basic level of insurance and one (car) accident 2 years ago which will drop off record by next year's re-up Current Insurance (Progressive) wants...

I can't help but feel it's too low even though all the threads I've been reading has been agreeing that what I have is right. Only cold days (like ~35F-45F) the bike runs at ~165F and a warmer day like 60F or higher has it running at only like 171F. Being used to cars that have their T-stat...

Hey guys, I wanted to start to look at new shoes for my FZ and was curious if there was a multi-website searching tool that could compare prices with a great deal of motorcycle e-tailors...or if not, maybe I could turn this into a grand listing of all the good places to check out? Thanks...

I was thinking about this topic when another member mentioned that it's improper to name a vehicle a male name...which I always do, so I figured it'd be fun for everyone to post up their vehicle(s) names so we all can see! (maybe back story if there is one?) I'll start BIKES Ninja 250...

0w-40!! (works!) So my friend can get literally endless amounts of 0w-40 from his job and I know the FZ is 10W-40 from factory, but I know Rotella T6 (likely what I was going to run) is 5W-40 and everyone says that's fine so.... would 0W-40 be ok?? This is the oil he can get for me...

Hey all, so I'm debating to gear out my FZ some since it has so much power and I wanna convert some of that to power to efficiency/fuel economy (and give each gear a little bit more purpose). Back when I owned my Ninja 250 I upped the countershaft sprocket from 14T to 15T to gear it out some and...

I constantly notice how bad I am with remembering what gear I'm in, even in just regular 1-6 acceleration. I almost always go for that seventh that isn't there...I always vow to improve my habit but never do. (wish they had an indicator that told you which gear you were in...even if they made it...

So I was scouring the internet for a better cover for my Ninja since the one it had was in sad shape (pics to follow) and I read some guy had great success with grill covers (cheap, strong and bearing all the heat/weather resistance that a motorcycle cover would need) So my dad and I went to...

Hey everyone, I'm (as of 4 days ago) a proud owner of a 2007 FZ6!! Picked mine up for $4100 with about 3750mi on it after 3 years with my trusty 2001 Ninja 250. Here's some shots of it! I was hoping one of you could confirm this is the S2 model (I believe I have, given the placement of the...
