    For Sale: FZ6 (2004 to 2006) Mods (Beowulf Exhaust / Touring Screen / Evotech Tailtidy)

    Hello all, Sorry to post this in the UK section, but as im selling to UK only this is the most appropriate board I think.. I have recently made the decision to trade in the trusty FZ6 for something newer, as i'm part exchanging my bike they prefer it standard, as a result i'm selling all...

    Advice wanted for track day virgin

    Sounds good, Im sure people will be lapping me but I guess the way I am looking at it is that i'm not going there to try and keep up with the others, I'm there purely to enjoy the nice corners without the fear of a car pulling out. Also on a plus side 2 of my friends (also track day virgins) are...

    Advice wanted for track day virgin

    Thanks for all the feedback, very useful tips, I will be taking the GoPro so I will for sure upload some videos all going well! Has anyone out there in the UK ever ridden on Silverstone or Castlecombe before? Any feedback regarding which track to visit?

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    I tried a few more mounts in this video, I mounted suction cup on the fuel tank looking through the windshield, mounted to the side of the tank using the suction cup and hanging off to the right of the bike, and then mounted on the mirror arm using seat tube mount facing back on me Motorbike...

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    I may try this position with an adhesive mount so I don't need to drill holes into the fairing. Should achieve the same shot, will update as to how it goes soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Help me electrical guru's, neutral light won't go off

    I had this before also, have you been riding in heavy rain or washed it recently? When mine did it I checked everything, and couldn't find a problem. Then I read somewhere else that other people had the same problem usually after a ride in heavy rain. So I let it dry out over a couple of days...

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    I haven't yet leaned the bike over seriously yet with the Center stand mounted camera, I leaned it over a bit maybe 30 degrees or so when standing on flat road and the camera still had a bit or clearance. In my video it wasn't too far out from the Center line of the bike, I guess if you stick it...

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    I like this position, I cant make out the mount in the video, have you used a suction cup mount or a clamp of some sort under the front fairing?

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    Great videos and angles guys :) Gettings some good ideas of new places to put the camera. I have a number of other positions tested on this video, no pictures of how i mounted them yet but it either uses the suction cup mount, or the handlebar / seatpost mount (both gopro official mounts)...

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    Nice assortment of mountings nsap! I have tried the suction mount on the side of the tank and the top (results are pretty much same as yours) I never thought of position 3 though under the side rear fairing. Will give that one a shot. I found that the suction cup mount (official gopro one) is...

    FZ6 Camera Mounting Positions

    Hey all, Following the success of my other video post I thought I would start a thread on camera (GoPro, Countour HD etc..) mounting positions on the FZ6. I am currently experimenting with where to stick the camera so I plan to post these tests and share them with other enthusiast video...

    Dangerous Motoring

    I was taught to ride defensively, so I kept an out position until I could see he was making the over take upon where I gave him more space and moved in, my fear is that if I keep close to the kerb before he moved to overtake that this would encourage him to try overtake in a smaller space as the...

    Dangerous Motoring

    Thanks, I will look into what can be done. But my main message is the same none the less, I want drivers and riders out there to think before attempting to overtake.

    Dangerous Motoring

    Thanks :) I could read the plates but I'm not going to follow it up, everyone was ok in the end and tbh I don't want the hassle of getting into legal issues etc of being witness and so on.. I have been involved with closer calls however on the bike where I wished I had video evidence though...

    Dangerous Motoring

    This weekend we went for a short ride in the country in the South West of England. Armed with the GoPro we were filming some of our journey to make a video. For about a 2 miles (riding at the 50mph speed limit) a white van had been tail gating me, I rode in a defensive position as you should to...

    What started you off?

    So we have all been there, we bought the fz6, rode and enjoyed stock components for 6 maybe 7 months and then had to buy something new and shiny for it to keep you happy. What mods started you off and where have you ended up? For me I started with a Beowulf aftermarket exhaust which shaved...

    FZ6 Engine

    I was another one for sv650 vs fz6. I rode my friends 650 then test rode an fz6. Yes the sv is great fun at low speeds and low revs u really do need to watch how quickly u pull the throttle. But torque aside I found when I went past 40mph on the sv it just didn't compare with the fz6 with...
