    Continuing cold start saga

    Still experiencing cold start stutter, this after being diagnosed by dealer and replaced by me. See "fuel pump issue" post. Thought everything was back right. It's not. Still acting like a carb engine on cold start. Slow to start, stuttering. Poor throttle response. Works perfectly once...

    fuel pump issue

    Replaced fuel pump on 09 FZ6 with used one from ebay. Now off idle throttle response is very poor esp when cold. Almost like a carbuerated engine. Are the pumps the same for fz6 and fz6R? Did I get the wrong one maybe? Physically it fit perfect. higher rpms are fine and once warm...

    maybe it's just me...

    I actually LIKE most of my fz stock. I prefer the sound to most of the youtube vids of diff cans. I really like the look of the bike. And the performance. Sure, suspension could be better. Swingarm is straight vanilla. But there is an awful lot of bike there for around 7 grand US. If...

    Clear coat over tank decals?

    Bought some vinyl decals from Immortalgraphix.com, love them but concerned about wear. Anybody done a home clearcoating job on their tank? Thought about taping off around decals and spraying a few layers...would spare the rest of the tank if I screwed it up. Your thoughts? Will post pics...
