    05 engine temperature help

    I have tried to search around for a bit and can't seem to find quite what im looking for. What is the normal reading (how many bars?) for an 05 fz6 to run at? I recently flushed and changed the coolant and made sure I used the prestone without the few nasty ingredients and my bike runs at 2-3...

    Exhaust question?

    Thanks for the info. I am hoping that it does not need a commander with just the two bro slip on pipes. I will try the plugs first and see if that helps then maybe the sync. I would like to stay away from custom comp and tune though if at all possible.

    Exhaust question?

    Thats awkward that you smell like that with the stock exhaust. Now you have me thinking also.. maybe it is the under seat exhaust. Being that is exits right under the rear end of the seat it could be a negative air pressure area and suck the exhaust right back at you. Kinda like trash in the bed...

    Exhaust question?

    Thanks for the info I will have to check the connections and get back to the thread with the outcome. I am guessing I need no CO adjustments due to the heavy exhaust smell. That means its running rich right? Any more advice would be greatly appreciated as the smell on me and my gear gives me a...

    Exhaust question?

    Purchased a 2005 fz6 about two weeks ago. I have put approximately 1000 miles on it. To my knowledge the only upgrade is a two bro exhaust with no db killers. Ever since owning the bike I notice a very heavy exhaust smell on me and all my clothes after rides. I searched the forum and did not...

    LEATHER UP.COM (Experiences)

    I just received my two other items today. One was an Exelement jacket and to be honest its not too bad, however, for as much riding as I do it would not stand the test of time. I would give the Exelement 618 armored jacket a max of two years IMO. The first pictures that I posted were of a Vulcan...

    LEATHER UP.COM (Experiences)

    Thanks for the replies. I was a little heated when I posted this earlier. I should have said make sure you buy only name brand items from their store ex: Icon, Fieldsheer ect... Also make sure you like the product or you will be paying shipping for returns. As for the pics they are going up in a...

    Quick Q on oil and engine temp.

    As for changing it that is up to you? In my opinion I would. The only reason I say that is (I am no mechanic by far) the manual says not to go below a 10w for the first number. I did a bunch of research on here and believe some might run 5W, but I always just follow the manual. Winter I am going...

    FZ6 with Two Brothers

    Probably best you passed. I just picked up an 05 with 11,000 mi on it for $3,000. It came with the two bro exhaust and the chin fairing under the motor. As for the exhaust, so far I love it! On a bike it has been my experience you will be heard before you are seen. Just pop in the ipod or some...

    Frame sliders

    Thanks for the help. I was debating between the givi engine gaurd and motivation frame sliders. But since the sliders are cheaper and protected your case I will just get them. "much Cheaper" Thanks

    Frame sliders

    Sorry if this has been beat to death. I am new to this forum and just had a quick question please. Does anyone know if Frame sliders will do the job or do i also need swingarm sliders? Will the frame sliders protect the crank case? Just asking before I put the new case on. Thanks in advance!
