The 6 to Vancouver - packing list and preparation - Page 5

I was thinking of an un-offical poll type of thing. My FZ6 more than satisfies my need for the twisties and getting my knee down, but thats just not enough. I have a lady in my life who wants to get on the back, however I have to say the FZ6 is not a particularly comfortable pew for a long...

Ive got a 2009 fz6. Had to get the tank repainted and while it was off I repainted the frame because the previous owner painted red stripes on it. Went to put everything back together and it wont stay running unless I use starting fluid. It will barely idle for a couple seconds and then turn...

Did an upgrade a while back - what do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9oIG5T8lqs

For the fun of it, I switched the handlebar to a Clubman handlebar (~$50) and I'm basically hugging my Fizzer when I ride lol It's seriously nice to ride it when there's no traffic but geez it's uncomfortable in stop and go. Gonna have fun with it until my back says enough then will...

Anyone got any aftermarket adjustable rearsets knocking about they don't want anymore, or are you selling your bike and want to go back to standard? Let me know. Desperate for some. Located UK but that doesn't have to be a problem.

I just picked up a 2007 FZ6 that has a Leo Vince Carbon catback on it. It's a bit louder than I like (yes, inserts are in), and I want to put the OEM exhaust back on. The OEM muffler and midpipe are in great shape, as are the gaskets. Is there anything else I should know about putting the OEM...

Hello guys, I need suggestions on bringing back the colors of my bike back to (close to) new. I would like to know what you guys use for plastics and paint on metal (like tank and wheels). 1. Mother Back to Black for plastics; probably similar form Turtle wax or Meguiars 2. Maxima SC...

Kenny and I met up on a group ride today. It was fun. Perfect weather. Kenny was on his Duc. He even let my hubby ride it. How did you like his VFR800? Up and over Geiger Grade and then down the truck route. In to Carson City on Highway 50. Then to Markleeville and up and over...

Hey everyone, happy spring! So I have had the bike for a while and love how I fit on it. But now I got a new girl in my life who loves going for rides. I notice that for me to sit up decently straight I am pretty much humping the tank (leaving a lot of the seat behind me open). So when I have...

Howdy folks. After taking a few years off I'm going to be back in the saddle on Wednesday! Scored an 09 FZ6 with only 9400 original miles for a heck of a deal. I couldn't be happier to be back on 2 wheels. Prior to this I was the proud owner of an 01 600R Thundercat. I used to spend quite a bit...

An "oh ****, an extra part" moment: Spent about six hours fussing with the bike the other day, finally got everything back together as the garage was closing (had to leave NOW), and found the little thin clip that is part of the rear brake caliper's support bracket. Can anyone explain to...

Hey guys, I've been having a intermittent fault with the headlight on my fz6. So, was riding down the road and the headlight (not full beam) kept turning off and back on. Took it back to the garage and they found evidence of arcing across the 'spade' connectors on the plug of the lamp...

I am back on a Fz6! This will be my 3rd FZ6 and I am pumped to be back on one. Call me crazy but I am coming off a 2005 Honda VFR that I put 30k miles on in two years. I for sure thought that the VFR would have been my last bike for a while, however I could not pass up the FZ6. It's a 2008 in...

Hello guys, recently had a great trip to India, met my family and friends after 3+ years. At the time of house warming ceremony, my dad and mom holding god's pictures, entering the new house for the first time, officially :) It was 4.00 am, and it was freaking hot already, everyone is...

Hey folks! Figured I'd share the good news in that I found a wicked deal on a bike - and will be back on the road next year. Got a local 2002 CBR600 F4i with 30,500 miles for $3000! It's had a full service done, including valves, oil/filter, plugs, etc. Comes with a new chain, sprocket (steel...

I'm looking for a set of rims - one front and one back for my 09 fz (the faster blue version ;) ) . It's not an fz6R just to make clear if any confusion . If I am not mistaken I believe rims are the same from 04-09 - but if anyone here could confirm this - that would be super ! Thanks all!
