    Does every version of the FZ6 have a coolant resivor?

    Yes, I know this sounds crazy. But I have been staring at my bike for 30 minutes with a flashlight and can't find the damn over fill jug. I have drained the coolant and cycled some water through, but ideally would have taken the crap out of the over fill compartment. Bike is a 2009 btw ;) Thanks!

    Rear flat tire, options?

    So at the end of last summer, I ended up getting a flat tire thanks to a metal object on a 4 month old tire. I've been very lazy, but would like to get my bike up and running ASAP for spring. So in my garage I have my bike, with a tire that is completely flat. I am not handy at all, the most...

    New Guy with 09 Raven from Chicago

    Hi Yall, I posted in the general section last week about possibly getting a FZ6, and I ended up picking one up on Saturday with 6400 miles. Being new to bikes, I cant find a scratch on it and it seems to drive well (neutral to 1st almost gives me whip lash and the on/off of the throttle is...

    New guy looking at the FZ6

    Hi Yall, I'm from Chicago and fairly certain I made up my mind to pull the trigger on an FZ6. I was originally looking at the 650r, but after hours of researching I think the FZ6 would make more sense. I mainly will be riding for pleasure, commuting, and hopefully a few 8+ hour road trips and...
