So I havent been around much as of late On top of life sucking, a lot, my beautiful FZ6 was taken away from me. A rather old woman turned across traffic into me and I bounced off the side of her little suv at 50. I felt it as soon as I tried to stand up. A plate, a rod, and 6 screws...

Hey guys and gals, I've been away for a bit! ;):( I've started having some serious issues with my baby lately, rampant overheating ( flushed once a year since I've owned it in 2010) the radiator has been cleaned and I verified it with my boroscope, cut the thermostat ( restricted opening but...

Its something most of us never think about or ever replace on a bike. Oddly I believe mine is failing. It usually warms up pretty quick, within 2ish miles of riding with a good 30 seconds of idle while I finish gearing up but lately I have been able to make it to work (~6) miles and the temp...

So this evening this weird thing happened on my way home..... Im not sure but its this number that not too many have seen on their dash before. ANYWAYS BlahBlahBlahBlah all kidding aside I *knock on wood*** have done: Preventative: Head bearings 1 chain (never replaced...

Norma Unger is my grandmother, the most loving woman I will ever meet (and she will make ANYTHING delicious at the drop of a hat). She will be turning 75 September 4th, unfortunately she will also still be in the hospital getting an aneurism taken care of. All I ask is for someone, anyone to...

my Right turn signal indicator stays on solid. (turn signal on or off, no matter what side I turn on) The resistor for the right side gets HOT even though I dont use that turn signal or any signal for that matter. On occasion my high beam indicator comes on when I make a tight left turn in a...

60hrs a week makes it hard to have any fun. While I ride the FZ almost every day I don't get to have any fun, on or off the bike. I found myself about 10 miles down some muddy powerlines on the fz thanksgiving day just because I had the day off and I wanted to have some quiet.. I have started...

the FZ this summer has logged 50.4 at its worst this summer with a rolling average of an estimated 52mpg this summer. Who else uses fuelly? I have logged just over 23k miles on the FZ on Fuelly and have a terrible average of 47mpg overall, (winter, spring, summer, fall) With the Georgia...

not sure if it quite deserves the "hall of shame" but it is an accident none the less. I cut a deer in half on the FZ tonight. (I'll refrain from posting the pic of the deer until an admin posts as I am not sure if the "gore" is acceptable, will post that particular pic conditional upon...

Has anyone had or seen a consistently good mpg on a liter bike? the FZ1 My R1 would match my FZ6 in mpg's (50-51) but everywhere I look it seems the FZ1 gets TERRIBLE gas mileage. I have seen a vfr get over 50mpg so does it come down to the rider?

It isn't FZ related but I am down to pulling ideas from anywhere at this point. 1993 32v Ford 4.6 Ran normal then randomly cuts off in the middle of the street and is towed home. Checked all fuses and relays (of course) I have ohm'd out: Cam and Crank position sensor, both coil packs all...

So I am graduating with my Bachelors in business administration and management **cough cough, someone hire me*** on July 29th 2014 (the fat lady hasnt started singing yet) I havent quite decided where I want to trek to (once I regain consciousness and sober up form the festivities) I was...

So I keep my FZ under a cover, it was toward the back of the space and someone still hits it... not so much as a note. the kickstand dug into the asphalt, the forks are twisted, the fender is broken off and the right rotor is bent... I cant even put into words my frustration, especially with...

I was riding through my old HS parking lot (Starr's Mill High School in Fayetteville GA.) to get something out of my sisters car when I noticed a silver S1 in the row right behind!! Who was it!!?

Ill keep it shor-tish: idles consistent, has appropriate power and response I use the same station to fill up almost every time. My riding habits have not changed. Tires are properly inflated and chain cleaned, adjusted and lubed. My brakes arent dragging (that I know) I just pulled apart...

You can HAVE my front brake lines!! all I want is shipping from 30276 (Senoia, GA) I realize they are the stock lines and not very desirable but if anyone just needs lines, they are yours. 2005 FZ6 just under 30k when I took them off, no bubbles or any weird feelings in the lever, just...

As few of us know it is the time for final exams in the college realm... as you can also guess is that I am one of them damn college kids! lol Study up everyone!!! and meet me at a bar next week :D

I am VERY aware I am comparing apples to oranges. Since I have the great pleasure of owning one of each I felt obligated to chime in a tad. the FZ6- ring its neck to get the power out of it but dang she wakes up in the power band, you can feel when it steps up and the cams come in. Runs...

Go out and thank a soldier!! past or present. Combat Engineer for the United States Army Brad Bonecutter. (yes his name is Bonecutter) One of my best friends, I wrestled with him in high school, we got into our share of shenanigans. We know each others parents on a first name basis, we...
