    FZ6 Achilles heel

    80 year olds cutting me off, slamming on their breaks, and me subsequently rolling down the highway totaling my bike with only 302 miles on it!!!!:eek::(:thumbdown::rant::surrender:

    Newbie gas Q?

    Thanks, I guess my trip to Maryland this weekend should show some improvements. I figured it was normal, but that's what forums are for, reassuring :thumbup: what you want to be true!

    Newbie gas Q?

    My bike now has about 250 miles, Two Brothers exhaust, k&n filter, and dyno PCIII (using the suggested scorpion/k&n map setup until it's past the 500 mile break in, then my friend @ the dealer is going to dyno it and do a custom map). My f trip comes on after only 125 miles on the trip odo. I...

    Installed SECOND lower cowl...need opinions on whether it stays or goes...

    Just thought I'd let you know laz, I'm stealing the Spike idea. Love it!!! Did I see them on the radiator too? Any recommendations on where to order them in bulk online?

    Your Rider Resume

    Well, I've been riding since September '05, when I took the msf course and bought a slightly used GS500k2. 5 months ago I upgraded to the FZ6 (raven). 300 miles into that bike my friend and I (he was on the GS) got cut off by some 80 year old coffin stuffer and dumped, totaling the bikes...

    Two bros

    Just did the two brothers carbon, PCIII, and K&N this morning. Much more responsive, not too sure about speed, as the bike after a short ride this morning has 42 miles and yesterday was the first day on a bike in 5 months since my wreck. More responsive is an understatement though. It's a...

    What is the FE Kit that you people are using

    Just finished putting on my two brothers carbon exhaust and used the eliminator kit with that. Little stalk signals and a plate on the back of my bike now!!! the whole install took just under 1.5 hours by my self too! Also threw on a PCIII, speedo healer, T-Rex sliders, and a K&N filter. All...

    High Performance FZ-R6 (not FZ6R)

    I love the idea of a full naked super sport bike, but I also have seen the B-king in person, and it scares the $#!+ out of me, and I didn't ride it. Most of the power of a Hyabusa in more usable rpm's and it's cruiser big!!! Definitely would consider it though. Naked is my favorite color!

    Saddling back up!

    Just got off the phone with the shop, and I'm picking up my new Raven FZ6 in the morning, and Sunday is mass surgery!!! TB carbon exhaust, pcIII, k&n, air box mod, sliders, speedo healer, and if there's time Scorpio alarm! Busy weekend ahead of me, maybe I'll ride a bit too, who knows...:rockon:

    Saddling back up!

    Thanks for the well wishes all! I've got the owner of the local bike shop hunting down another Raven 08 FZ6, just a matter of time... So I assume by next weekend I'll be riding again. And definitely would like appreciate some company for the big return to the road as my only other biker friend...

    New FZ6R or FZ6??

    You're right, they are competing with Suzuki, but in my eyes this is more a competitor with the GS500 models. It's just a 4 banger version by a diff. manufacturer.

    Saddling back up!

    It's been 5 months since my bike and I tumbled down the highway, and I decided it's time to get back on. My injuries are as healed as they're going to get, and my riding gear has just been replaced. Now I just have to get a new bike and I'm back on the road! Bike shop, here I come!!! :rockon:

    It was a new bike...

    His excuse was he was confused and didn't know where he wanted to be, he got charged with careless driving, but somehow we got hit with following too closely. I have to talk to the officer who file the report when she comes back on duty, because she also put in that i refused a breathalyser...

    It was a new bike...

    300 miles ago, i bought my new black fz6. Saturday my buddy and I put on the exhaust and went out for a ride. Were getting off rt 309 and some old man cuts us off and slams on his brakes. We swerve back on the highway to avoid running up his a$$ and he cuts back in front of us. My front tire...

    GPS Reviews

    Not a gps, but I use my Ericsson K850i phone with google maps when I get too far off the beaten path (lost). The newer versions of google maps find your location within 200-1700 meters based on the cell towers you use, and with 3.5g network, it's every bit as fast as a gps, and you can google...

    What kind of bike to move on to next?

    +1 on the B-King. Almost bought one instead of the FZ6, but the insurance was through the roof! Saw one at the dealership this weekend and I'm glad I got the FZ. B-King looks HUGE, and I don't think I'd have the maneuverability I do with the FZ... Damn sexy bike though!:rockon:

    How much did you $spend on your fz6? $7200

    I've got a friend who works at the dealership, got the 2008 Stealthyer Raven bike at their price, 6289, after tax tags and cargo fee, it ended up right around 7000 (cargo fee was 300 and the owner doesn't budge on it :Flip:) After the 2 bros exhaust, power commander, k&n filter, speedo healer...

    Traffic Ticket Record/Stories

    So, I'm heading back to Camp Lejeune, from PA after the Thanksgiving weekend leave in 2002. I have two of my Marines in the car whom I gave rides to their respective homes. I pick my friend up in Front Royal VA and am on this road to get back on to I95. I'm cruising, clocked @ 87 in a 45 work...
