Hello from a new member

[alexfabian]

Good evening guys and gals! I recently bought a FZ6 and I am just taking this opportunity to introduce myself. This is my ride below and after buying the bike it developed a electrical fault which had me going round in circles. Now it's fixed I cannot wait to put some miles on her riding two and from work and also some casual days out.

If you guys can recommend and must do mods etc I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Happy Riding!

Welcome to the forum and congrates on the bike!

Some folks have been looking mirrors like yours to convert to...

Mods; aftermarket exhaust. Steble air horn. Polish up the header for a bunch of cheap "bling"

Keep you chain adjusted clean, lubed and adjusted per the manual, approx 2" TOTAL UP and down on the CC (the FZ has a much looser chain setting than most bikes)

Ah ok I didn't realise the mirrors were aftermarket.... They aren't great for visibility but I guess they look ok.
I've been looking at some YouTube videos of the Leo Vince exhaust system which sounds AMAZING

Those mirrors may be stock, with your version.

I know a member turned his bike naked (as has many others) and options for standard mirrors (like yours) were a show stopper...

These are SS Scorpions (open) and the header polished up (NO SANDING)...

Completely different bike with these pipes on the bike as it doesn't sound like a sewing machine anymore...

This link is my bike, in the garage, showing charging voltages, etc, from cold start, but you can get an idea how much deeper the exhaust is ; https://www.flickr.com/photos/127092600@N08/

Hey Scott, I know you'll come with those SSS
BTW, the mirrors looks really after-market, not from Yamaha.
Anyway, I'm upgrading/replacing to handlebar mounted mirrors, even though I have the S2 fairings, which come from FZ09, will update the page very soon.

Ok, I forgot who was having issues with finding "standard" handlebar mirrors...

Back to Alex's welcome!

Very impressive header pipes Scott!!! I imagine a lot of hours went into polishing those, not sure I would be able to maintain the same standard with using it every day in British weather......

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Happy Motorcycling
