I'm located in eastern Iowa (Bettendorf, in the quad cities). I love my bike, but I just don't get to ride anymore after moving to the midwest and having a kid. I maintain the FZ6 is the perfect bike for mountain twisties, but I probably don't have to convince the folks on this forum. I'll try...

So on a recent several-day trip to northern California (heavily loaded) I noticed a grinding sound on a lot of tight corners. I kept pulling over to see what was touching (because it's not the pegs), and couldn't figure it out. My best guess was the sidestand, so I had been focusing on that as a...

My new bike came with an aftermarket exhaust (Scorpion, I think. There's an "S" logo on the tips), along with a set of silencer inserts. I find the exhaust annoyingly loud. How do those inserts fit in? I assume it's not just a friction fitting, but there's some kind of bolt that needs to...

As stated in title. I'm getting rid of my old 2004 FZ6 engine with about 45k miles on it. Will pull small pieces off and ship if anyone wants them. Just make me a reasonable offer to cover shipping and my time.

Just need the fender offset thingies. PM'd Dako, but no response yet.

So I've got two months to get rid of my 2004 Silver FZ6 that blew it's engine. Right now it's parked in a garage that's costing me only $100/month, which isn't awful. Options: 1) Sell as is, needs new motor. How much should I ask for? $1000 too much? Better to call it a parts bike or just...

Buying a 2008 FZ6 to replace my dearly departed 2004. I know my R6 forks will transfer over, a few other questions: Is there any difference between the blue spot calipers I have now (from the R6) and the silver spot stockers on the S2? They seem identical to me. Will my shock swap over without...

Hunting for a replacement bike, or maybe a replacement motor, near SF after my engine asploded today.

Bought a while back from IAMJUSTIFYD here on the forums. Original thread and photos here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/bikes-parts-for-sale/58120-shad-seat.html This seat is softer than stock and encourages you to sit farther back. Unfortunately I like to sit more forward and want...

I picked up an extra kill switch/ignition housing to mess around with and, long story short, the only cost-effective way to harden the mechanism against failure is to add a shim. Otherwise, I'd recommend cleaning it out at least once a year, especially if it gets wet regularly or if you use it...

I'd really like another pair of eyes and ears on it before I go on any long trips. Thanks!

I was looking for a good way to patch my riding jacket that was damaged in a crash in January and found this fabric repair tape called "Tenacious Tape" for about five bucks on amazon. I am extremely impressed. Blends in with the jacket more or less and looks way better than other options I...

Hey guys, just wondering who has swapped out for an APE cct and double checking model #. APE doesn't list the FZ6 on their model list, but the 99-05 R6 uses their YT1000 model, so I'm guessing that's the correct one? Since I have access to a shop this month and have another week or two down...

Hey folks, looks like I'm moving away from the 2-wheel promised land of California this summer and into flatlandia. Any of you fine upstanding folks live in the area and can help me find the local scene and any decent roads nearby? I'm going to miss my twisties. Will be living in either...

I'm hunting for a new right side rearset, and the '06 and S2 models look slightly different than the 04-05 ones. Anyone know for sure if they're a direct swap? Looks like they put some kind of plate in the heel guard to keep paint from rubbing off? If they mount the same and that's the only...
