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...
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...
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.

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.

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.

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...
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.

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.
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...
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...
The low beam turns off when you turn on the high beams, or at least on mine it does. I had the bd43 headlight mod before I went naked so I dunno if that has something to do with it. But I ride with my brights on all the time and haven't had any issues.
Went naked a while back and all of the front end parts have been sitting in my attic and I'm never gonna use them again so up for sale they go. These are from my black 09...complete front end plastics...the fairing, the inner plastics, headlights, mirrors, oem windscreen, front blinkers and...
I'd rather have a zx14, better lookin bike IMO. I actually was thinking about getting one as there are good deals to be had on left overs but I still don't know if I really need all that power.
