Hi Everyone, new FZ6 owner here. Came from four (yes 4) years on a Ninja 250. I still love that bike, has a lot to offer other than power. I picked up a 2009 FZ6 with 4k miles on it in near mint condition. Love this bike as well and holy moly it has a lot of power.
One thing that is taking getting used to is the throttle, specifically how it responds. Keep in mind I'm used to a carbureted and very forgiving 250. I have adjusted the slack on the throttle and it seems to make it better (there was a lot on there when I got it). Now there is nearly none, the throttle does not rise if i turn the handlebars.
I find it difficult at times to give the smallest amount of throttle and every once in a while i'll get a small burst in RPMs which I would like to avoid. About 90% of the time it is fine and im able to control it but every once in a while I catch the engagement area wrong and I eather give it too little or a bit more than I was looking for. The clutch cable needed and has been lubricated, maybe the throttle needs to be lubed as well? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
