After 10 minutes ride, i stopped to check tire pressures and saw that one of my gloves is sitting on the tail bag. I've put...

    FZ6 2007 Brakelight / turn signal.

    Just got this bike about a week ago and am not happy with the brake light / turnsignal system on the back. Any suggestions as to where I could buy a different set that is brighter and more noticeable? Thanks.

    Bruised bike and pride :( (Bike tipped while stopped)

    Well, it finally happened after 5 years with this bike. I was about to turn left out of a parking lot when I saw a car coming, so I stopped somewhat abruptly with the bars turned pretty far to the left, throwing me off balance. I almost saved it, but alas, I tipped it over and my FZ6 hit the...

    Temperature\Wrong reading?

    Hi All, My bike while stop at a traffic light will go to over 200 degrees F, is that normal? While riding it usually between 170 and 190. I would not be posting if something really strange happened yesterday. It was very warm, about 90F and humid, and notice the bike running a bit hotter...

    When selling do you allow test ride??

    Soon I will be selling my FZ6 :( I am just wondering do you guys allow buyer a test ride? Maybe stupid question but when selling a car you ride right seat. With bike you can't do that. I wouldn't like to see back of my bike disappearing down a road and no money in hand.

    Long search ended

    Found a bike I've been searching for for ages. Right in my back yard. Original owner cb450 super sport. In heated storage for the last 34 years. Going to take a ton of work to bring it back but for me that's most of the fun. I'll have to post some pics of it next to the fz6 when I get it home

    Going from clip-on mod back to handlebars - rookie questions

    Hey guys. I bought my FZ6 with a clip-on mod, but I want to go back to handlebars (well, I have to, it needs to undergo inspection from the authorities and it can't do a turn at full lock, becaue the clip-ons hit the tank..). I don't have a good photo, but this shows what I have now...

    Changing ignition coils

    Good evening, Can anyone please tell me if I need to remove the Airbox and battery box to gain access to change my ignition coil #1 and #4. I can see where the coils are of course, but it does not look like you can unscrew the bolts and disconnect the leads in such a tight area to work in...

    Can anyone confirm if the CR9EIX is the correct spark plug for a 2009 FZ6 S2?

    I'm sorry for the abrupt question, but I just had a hell of an afternoon. I tried to do a spark plug change for my bike, and I'm not sure why, but after it was all installed, the idle was really rough and something was obviously wrong (the bike was jerking and misfiring, it seems). I ripped it...

    Quick question for those who've hopefully done this before: I'm trying to grab a lower displacement and/or slower track bike for next year - and keep it on the cheap side. For what will be my first year of consistent track riding, I'd like to get something slower so that my corner entry and...

    Hey Everyone, A little while ago when I moved to Texas I bought an '07 FZ6, which I loved dearly. J-walker run out in front of me which made me go down. I spent a lot of time trying to piece the bike back together, cause I'm not a mechanic and didn't have the money to pay for the $1,300+labor...
