    Going from clip-on mod back to handlebars - rookie questions

    Hey guys. I bought my FZ6 with a clip-on mod, but I want to go back to handlebars (well, I have to, it needs to undergo inspection from the authorities and it can't do a turn at full lock, becaue the clip-ons hit the tank..). I don't have a good photo, but this shows what I have now...

    06 > 07 Speedo Conversion

    Hey, thanks for the great walk through! I've got a question though. Alle the 2nd gen FZ6 speedometer I can find, well, the RPM's only go to 13K, not 14K as on my 1st gen FZ6 speedometer. Have this been a problem for you? Like, do the gauge meassure wrong (when you're at 9K revs, the bike is...

    Post your FZ6N Pics!

    BoldBolt, that is one really good looking bike! Really digging the front. Winter is pretty much over here, so figured it was time to bring the FZ back out on the roads. Installed some rizoma mirrors, and I think they go really well with the aggressive look I'm after. It's a bit dirty, sorry...

    How do you fill up

    Good points. I just sit on my bike when I fill it up, no need to use the stand at all :-)

    Mirror suggestions

    Hey guys, Looking to get some mirrors for my naked FZ6, but can't really decide on what to get. I've never been a fan of the bar end ones, but maybe it's really the only way to go to not dirsrupt the looks of the bike? Not many people ride naked bikes in my area, so haven't seen that...

    06 > 07 Speedo Conversion

    Hey mate, could you make a thread on this? I'm not very tech savvy, and could use a "speedo conversion for dummies" post :)

    Model year by VIN.. 10th digit is a 0?

    Hey guys. I just tried to look up my VIN (JYARJ071000030088), and the 10th digit is a 0, and that doesn't seem to match the VIN codes I can find online (where the model year is the 10th digit, and a letter, not a number). What is going on here?

    Post your FZ6N Pics!

    I'm not sharp with photoshop, but tried to colour it for you I think it would add some character to your bike, and make it stand more apart from the other FZ's.

    Bought a used track bike, what should I be ready for?

    Hey guys, figured I would update you on my bike. Had it at the dealer today, and we went through the bike (with the help from your input, thanks again!). The front sprocket is geared so it fits with the rear, so the gearing is very close to normal (it's a different chain, and for some reasons I...

    Bought a used track bike, what should I be ready for?

    You guys are amazing! Thanks. How much work would go into changing that? Thinking about just asking the dealer to put a 46 teeth rear sprocket on. Just for reference, how many teeth is there on the stock front sprocket? (Not near my manual right now).

    Do you have any recommendations for websites where I can browse for mirrors and indicator lights?

    Yes exactly, I'm going to ride it on the streets :-) I'm sorry if it's not clear, English is not my first language.

    Bought a used track bike, what should I be ready for?

    Hey man. Yeah I sport an AGV Horizon, Dianese C2 leathers and some unknown gloves (was the best fit for me), Dianese touring boots and I use my spine protector from my skiing gear. And won't get an exhaust right away. First I need mirrors and indicators :-D And then I'll look into setting the...

    Bought a used track bike, what should I be ready for?

    Hi everyone, I recently bought this FZ6 N from 2005, as my first bike. It's been used for riding on the track and has done 26000 KM (16000 miles). I test rode it and it runs smooth. What should I be aware of when riding this? As in, what might possible break when I'm riding around. Just so...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hey everyone. I'm 26 and from Denmark, and I just got my FZ6 yesterday, woohoo! It's my first bike (been riding SFV650 and ER-6N for my license and on track), and I'm so excited to go riding. Unfortunately the season is ending here in Denmark soon, so I decided to save some money on taxes...
