If anyone cares, I got my bike back two days ago. :)
Upgrades: FZ1 Handlebar, OES sliders and Leo Vince SBK Exhaust (took the DB Killers out for Bike Week, so f&^%ing loud!!!)

Thanks for the tip for the future.

Hey, guys,
I am a new rider. I have about 4000 miles under my belt in the last 8 months on my Ninja 250r, and I recently purchased a 2009 Yamaha FZ6 with 800 miles on it.
