Hello,
My name's Ron, I'm the proud owner of a 2006 FZ6. My Previous bike was a 2011 Ninja 250, which I owned for about a year - I figured I'd stick with the inline four, but go with something fuel injected...and faster
The PO has done a little cosmetic work to the front end - headlight mod, no fairings. It might not be for everyone, but coming from the ninjette (which is essentially all plastic) I love it even more for this.
She's just turned over 10,000 miles so I'm prepping a big list of maintenance items to do this weekend. She's got some cosmetic damage on the rear end - fell off a trailer at low speeds. Still, it was being sold for so cheap I had a mechanic look over the frame, forks and tires to make sure everything was sound. Still, for $2900 and no structural damage, I couldn't pass up the offer.
My only worry - I'm almost positive she's running lean, the headers are filthy, and the valves need to be synced. I'm pulling the spark plugs this weekend to verify if it is running lean, but it'd ease my mind to know exactly what the prior owner has and has not done. If anyone has a PC3 or carbtune they'd be willing to share, I'd pay in cash, beer, pizza, whatever. I've got family as far north as Cecil County, otherwise you can usually find me playing around on 211 in VA. :rockon:
