    Let the Modding Begin!

    It's that time of year where some have the bike stored and will do the mods while the riding season is less than optimal. Here are some ideas to give inspiration and at least put a smile on your face. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc

    How many miles are left when its on the last bar of the gas gauge?

    I notice the odometer switches to a F and begins counting miles but curious how many miles I actually have before I am out of gas. 05 FZ6 if the year matters.

    Riding above ~7K

    Hi there, Newish rider (1 year, 10k miles) with a 05 FZ6 as my first bike. I remember reading early on when I was first deciding about getting this bike as my first bike about something keeping it under 7-8K otherwise she gets crazy. It's been a year and I feel comfortable with the bike...

    any 04 fz6n motors around?

    Hi, I just bought a 04 fz6n fairly cheap as it has a knock in the motor. Pulled it apart and found the crankshaft has a slight wobble in it, a small crack in the casing near the clutch too. Figure the cheapest and easiest way to get it on the road is another motor, I don't know what year models...

    Assen TT, Moto GP

    Well Facebook gave me a reminder this morning that I'm going to the Assen TT tomorrow, as if I'd forget :rolleyes: Looking forward to it, I went with the kids last year (kids under 15 are free on the grass banks) but unfortunately they both have some pretty heavy end of school year exams this...

    Lefty is still alive!

    Hey all, I know alot of you have wondered what had become of me since I haven't posted in months so I'd thought I'd let you know what's been going on. Last year was a very non-riding year due to some unforseen health problems which for the most part have improved due to great doctors and...
