Hi ladies and gents,

I'm about to pick up a black 2008 FZ6 with 15k km. I've had a look around to inform myself a bit but I'm really happy to have found this forum. It's always great to have support for your ride. Thanks!

The bike looks pretty clean with very minor blemishes due to what I believe was a controlled drop. The break lever needs to be straightened out carefully or replaced. Minor pitting on the stator cover. But that's it.

It isn't my first ride but it will be my first with Fi so I'm looking forward to no choke lever. I can't wait to go for that first ride!

I found some great deals on boots on ebay, if you don't mind boots that have been worn just a few time. You can find some $300 boots for less than $75, if you take your time.:thumbup:

Thanks a lot. So I picked her up. A slight drizzle on the way home but it dried up. It felt nice and she accelerated nicely into highway traffic. There was a hum or whine. But I figured maybe normal. My first yammy. Got the back tire changed and flushed the brake fluid. Then the test ride....whine still there and annoying. Did a quick search here and voila... Chain slack. Out her back to spec and no more whine! Sweet. Thanks guys. I think this a start of a beautiful relationship.
