    did I efff this up?

    I can’t get a pic without taking the wheel off but you’ll see once you get yours back off. Like I said, it’s going to be a pain in the butt. Sorry.:(

    did I efff this up?

    Your brake has a slot that fits on the nub you’re talking about. You need to take the wheel off again and as you put it back on you have to get the caliper on the nub at the same time. The nub and the slot allows your rear brake to slide back and forth so you can make chin tension adjustments...

    Suggestions for adding 10+ horses?

    Don’t think the FZ6 is anemic in any way. You’ll find that these bikes have much respect and have earned it. My friend has a ’06 GSX-R 600 with a few pony adding mods to boot and he shakes his head every time he tries to dust me off and he looks in his mirrors and all he can see is FZ6 behind...

    New exhaust and power commander?

    To be honest.....If you want aftermarket cans, get them for the look and sound, don't even worry about hp gains. Some brands need power commanders, others don't. Either way, if you do get a little power gain it's nothing that's going to pin your ears back if you know what I mean.

    What exhaust do you have on your FZ6?

    I've got the stainless Scorpions too. I really like them. The tone is fantastic and they look much better than the faux stock plastic cans.

    What do you think is the greatest song of all time; and why?

    Happy birthday song. Every time it gets sung, somebody gets gifts. You can't beat that. LOL

    DAINESE Gear

    Yep, they are expensive but it's money well spent. I have the Zen jacket(entry level for Dainese and goes for about $470.00) and I couldn't be more happy. If you get a chance to try them on and compare them to the other guys stuff you'll see where the money goes. Plus, it's not a throw away...

    Black for 2008!!!!! (U.S.A.)

    What's the extra $100 for? That crappy looking flat black paint??? Why is there no naked version????? I don't know about you guys but I don't care much for the flat black around the head lights. I think it cheapens the look of the bike. To me it looks like somebody rashed the fairing and...

    Rider Etiquete Kwestion

    LOL :thumbup: I haven't had anyone pass me yet but if they have the need for speed I'll wave them by. I'll tell whats's weird is when I'm behind a fellow rider who I don't know and we're approaching a stop light that has turned red, they always hog the lane and act like I'm going to mug...

    What pressures do you set your tires at?

    I'm about 200-210lbs and with my backpack I probably go close to 230lbs so I go with the factory recommendation of 36lbs front/42lbs rear. I wore out the 252's at about 5500 miles and never had any problems at those settings.

    Snake.

    I killed a Copperhead( 12in. long) in my driveway about two years ago with a shovel but I haven't seen any more since that one. I do see the occasional king snake but their the good guys of the snakes(they kill and eat the poisonous snakes and rodents) so I either pick them up and move them to...

    How much front brake do you use ??

    Yes, you can get it here in the US too for about 700 or 800 dallors. Had I known this when I bought my '07 I would have got it. Every now and then when I have the road to myself I'll practice emergency stops just to keep sharp when the time calls for one. I try to stay low on the bike and...

    Lay down pics

    Man! Glad you're mostlyOK. You and your bike look like you both have about the same amount of rash. I have to give you props, if had that happen to me I don't think I could smile so cheery. That's cool. Hope you get well soon. Here's my suggestion for the bike: Leave the dent in the...
