handling

Hi, i bought a 2008 FZ6N 8 months ago and i'm very happy with it. Currently 67 700 kilometers on it, and still running strong. Around 2 weeks ago i had an strong emergency braking with front brake ( didn't crash ), but after that i had issues with headstock bearing and strange handling...

My red (faster) '07 was dropped by the previous owner and has some rash and a crack on the left side fairing. For some inexplicable reason the previous owner also painted the windscreen flat black, making it impenetrable to light. I'd like to replace these parts. I live in the...

New to the forum, but I had my FZ6 since July of last year. It's my first bike and, for a tall guy, I'm 6'2", It's pretty comfortable. I put about 5k miles on it until Nov of last year, after that it's just too cold to ride anymore. Now that I got that freshman instinct of just wanting to be on...

Hello All! I haven't been very active on here in quite awhile. I hope everybody is well. I am trying to sell my FZ6 and I'm not getting any bites. Here is the ad on Craigslist. Am I asking too much? Describing it poorly? I delete and repost the ad often so that link probably won't...

Over the last week or so I have noticed that on cornereing my bike doesn't track exactly how I figure it should. I checked tire pressures and it was all ok, only about 5000kms on the Z8's so plenty of life there still. Tha handling is like hitting a tar snake or riding along a white lane...

So ... I'm getting old. I want a bike that's even more comfy than the FZ6, while not sacrificing power or handling. By this I mean lower seat height, more stretched out legs and higher bars. Is it possible? I'm only 5 foot 8 and my legs aren't massive. The stock seat height and high centre of...

So last Friday I got a flat tire while riding to my parents house in LI, and since my tires were on their last leg anyway, I skipped getting it plugged and ordered a new set of Bridgestone BT-023's. While the bike was off the road awaiting new rubber, I also installed a set of FZ1 bars. Got...

Anyone lower the front end of their FZ6? I was talking to the dude at the motorcycle shop and he said it would be fine, but it would cause the bike to handle more "aggressively." Basically, the longer the forks, the longer the steer, hence, the shorter the forks, the more aggressive the steer...
