    Missing the FZ6

    I guess I'm over exaggerating it a little bit.... I could ride the fz6 all day and not get tired, on the gsxr I'm good for about an hour and a half before I start to feel it. I don't use my wrists to support myself and the tech spec tank pads help out a good bit. I tired adjusting the suspension...

    Missing the FZ6

    Well it's been about 10 months since I sold the fz6 and bought a '11 GSXR750 and I've been missing the 6 a lot lately. I guess I wanted to be one of the "cool kids" and get a super sport, but I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would. I mean yeah, it's fast as all holy hell and rides like...

    (poll) If you own Leo Vince, do you ride with db killers in or out?

    Turn the idle screw very slowly till it smooths out. I don't remember what side of the bike it's on, but I'm sure someone will chime in and tell you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

    A lesson to all idiots hammering the rev limiter.

    Burnouts are illegal ... reckless/careless operation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

    I tried using ear plugs today on my ride to work

    Wearing ear plugs while riding is actually illegal in some states, as is wearing head phones.... I used to wear them before I did the naked conversion but after they weren't needed. I don't need them with the gsxr either as I hardly get any buffeting, and I love hearing the intake growl. Sent...

    Thinking of trading my bike..

    Nope only about 100ish to the wheels. The "11 GSXR 750 puts 125 to the wheels, 25 more than the 600. Even tho they may have similar HP #'s to the fz6, the power comes on in a totally different way so the bikes won't feel the same. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

    Mesh Jacket Recommendations

    I'm 6'6" too and about 220lbs and the XL shift air avenger fits me perfectly. I also have a feildsheer mesh Tex in a large-tall and the sleeves are too short but the chest/torso area is perfect. My cooler weather jacket is a xl-tall cortech textile and the sleeves are plenty long enough but its...

    Mesh Jacket Recommendations

    Look for a shift air avenger, you can get them on close out cause shift is getting out of the street gear. Its a really nice jacket with an excellent liner. Check out sportbiketrackgear.com for a good video review. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

    What would you "upgrade" your FZ6 to?

    I just recently "upgraded" to a 2011 GSXR 750 and couldn't be happier. It the bike I wanted in the beginning but I didn't want it to be my first bike, and I'm glad it wasn't cause this thing hauls serious ass.

    Suzuki "Fully Synthetic" 10w-40:

    The dealer where I just bought my 750 wanted 6 bucks a quart for the fully synthetic stuff. The non syn was like 4 something.

    Got a new bike!!

    Ha I felt like a squid when I was leaving the store....I stalled the bike 3 times in a row when I was leaving. The clutch action is waaaayyyy different than the 6. You squeeze the clutch in a click it in gear and as soon as you start to let out the lever it grabs. And if you don't give it any...

    Got a new bike!!

    Today is a mixed day for me. I had to say goodbye to my beloved FZ6 but I got to welcome home a new bike. The FZ6, and this forum, have been great. I've gotten a lot of good help and advice from the members here and I hope in some way I was able to help out some others. This truly is the best...

    First time Fz6 owner..TIPs ne 1

    Oh, I guess it'll depend what side it's comming from, cause the vent attaches to the bottom of the tank too.

    If you leave the bike out in the sun for longer than 5 min fuel will drip out of that hose. Unless it's pouring out, I wouldn't worry about that.
