    suprised at how many people not wearing helmets

    Here in Greece, there is a law that requires riders to wear helmets all the time while riding their bikes. The problem is that they don't really enforce it. Some control points from time to time here and there... I've seen lot of times mc-officers standing side by side with riders who don't...

    Clunking shifting typical 5 to 6th gear?

    I have clunky shifts from time to time going into 6th gear, too ... Usually I get that clunky noise going in 1st or 2nd, then smooth as butter, and then again from 5th to 6th ...

    Hot hot hot!

    Here in Greece, right now, we have about 40c in the shadow ... which means AGAT is not an option, unless you want to boil your internals... Helmet is a must, sometimes mesh-gloves, and t-shirt and shorts for commuting inside the city... For longer trips, an additional light mesh jacket...

    About This power kit ...

    No, save your money. These are crap... You can, however, adjust your co settings via the console, on your bike. This means that if you run with an aftermarket exhaust and/or air filter, you may need to slightly increase the values for c1 and c2. Since you have an European fz6, like I do, these...

    Did i overheat and damage my first bike 05 fz6??

    Normally, the temperature climbs up to 4 bars, and then the fan gets on and it cools down till 3 bars left, and then it gets off automatically. It never climbs above 4 bars, and I live in a very hot climate in a big city. It did however happen once when I first bought the bike. I don't know...

    15T sprocket / SpeedoDRD

    I've done the conversion too ... It's one of the best mods you can do, if you don't mint a slight increase in fuel consumption- nothing major though. And I like it for long distance too, because the 6th gear is powerful and usable...

    Why do people blur their number plates?

    I blur mine... Consider following scenario: Someone steals a fz6, exactly like mine, same color same year etc. the only thing he has to do, is to swap his license plate, with a fake one with my registration number he saw on the picture I posted in FB, and voila, he has most of the heat off his...

    Riding the Darkside?

    Hey, here's another open minded idea... <sarcasm on> Why don't you put 4 motorcycle sport tires on your car, and find out how that performs... <sarcasm off>

    Naked at high speed!!?

    @Erci, Yes, I've drove the fairing version of my brothers fz6 2007. At pretty high speeds too! The turbulence on the helmet is somewhat bigger (if you are sitting straight up), but the noise-level is lower. I believe that this is due to the air being compressed on the windscreen, before it...

    Deus EX 3

    The 1st one was one of the best games I ever played... The 2nd one, sucked big time... I didn't even bothered to play it through... I hope the 3rd one will be better than the 2nd one

    Naked at high speed!!?

    I've ride my naked (OEM eu-bike) fz6, on long trips and on high ways, some times at top speed... In contrary to what is said above, I'll say don't go naked if you plan long trips! The turbulent wind is causing your helmet to vibrate heavily, and the noise is only bearable with in-ear plugs or...

    Wet Weather Worries; how do you guys get through puddles?

    Plain simple - you are going down... Hard... and you'll slide a long long distance, for there is minimal friction to stop you. I was riding about 70km/h, it was raining all night, and the road was very wet. I was going slower than usual and on the right lane. Suddenly, my front wheel turned...

    Riding the Darkside?

    square tire means no turning... what will you do, if an obstacle gets in front of you? pray? you will never be able to turn fast enough to avoid it. As stated above, I've run some of my tires, squared center, and the handling was awful.

    Ducatis - can they get any worse?.....

    Ducatis are sooo hot, they burst in flames ... lmao! 20.000 for a bike!? And it's suddenly catching fire? As I understood, he wasn't even pushing his bike... It reminds me of that episode of south-park, spontaneous combustion... There was a similar case with Ferrari and some burnt cages...

    My first wreck on my FZ6 :(((

    Glad your ok. I too believe, that the bike was very well able to take the turn, without even dragging a peg down... They are very capable to lean at angles that you and me are never going to find out... It's a common mistake among riders, to hit the brakes while turning, instead of giving a...
