test

Been awhile since I've been on. Hope you're all well. I've poured through some of the stickies on the topic, but I wanted to solicit some thoughts on my current charging situation. FYI, I have a PCV and autotune on there, as well as BD-43s headlight mod. Mine is an '09, had since new...

So i am working on my project (remember my questions about brake light modulation?) and I have been stuck at a certain point. When I test on the bench with a stable power supply, and when I test on the motorcycle with the key on / engine off, it works fine, Start the bike and lots of odd...

Soon I will be selling my FZ6 :( I am just wondering do you guys allow buyer a test ride? Maybe stupid question but when selling a car you ride right seat. With bike you can't do that. I wouldn't like to see back of my bike disappearing down a road and no money in hand.

Well it wasn't planned I originally went to the bike shop to get a ride on the MT-09, but they had just sold their previous test bike and the new one had to be prepped. Anyway they had a BMW F800R on special offer and they let me take a spin. Well I was not impressed, mainly as the engine was a...

Ive got a 2009 fz6. Had to get the tank repainted and while it was off I repainted the frame because the previous owner painted red stripes on it. Went to put everything back together and it wont stay running unless I use starting fluid. It will barely idle for a couple seconds and then turn...

Did you see the missile test Sat. Nov.7, 2015. Where were you? Where was it in the sky from your location? Approximately what time did you see it? My wife and I saw it while driving and pulled off the road to watch it.

Hey everyone, I need to do a compression test but can't really see a good way to get the gauge in without removing the battery tray. And since its a basic compression meter I need the battery to run the test. Any tips for this one? Back story: Cam chain tensioner failed about 3 months ago...

Hello everyone! Completed my MSF course about a week ago and for my 25th Birthday yesterday I bought my first bike. It's an 05 FZ-6, 20.8k miles. Lots of people have their dream car, but since I was 15 I always admired the R6's style and performance. I had an excellent instructor during...

I have a 2005 FZ6 that I have had to do some very minor repairs on (the frame had some minor road rash). I've been looking and looking for a spray paint to match. I read about TufuJunky87's repair to his FZ. I tried out the Dupli-Color's Aluminum Engine Enamel on a test piece (a broken...

I usually turn off engine at intersection(signal~red), the vehicle didn't start immediately. I observed a weird smell when I shifted the gears quickly(0-60 in ~5 seconds), did i fry something(but this happened this morning), the issue is from long back. I took it to autozone to test it, we...

How goes it fz6 family, just stopping in to say hey and update y'all on me and my fz1. Like me being the trasher of bikes I am at 21,000 miles I have managed to destroy my clutch and 2nd gear...yay for being ham fisted! A couple 11k launches managed to roast the clutch and more than a few quick...

My G/F gave me a GoPro Hero 4 silver edition for xmas so I thought I better give it a test ;) Heres a vid of it mounted on the front guard of the XJR :thumbup: XJR1300 GoPro Test - YouTube

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...

Hello all fellow riders! So today i went out on a little cruise on my bro's recently purchased 2002 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R. I was curious to see how i'd fare on it as i'm tall (6'6", 36" inseem, 185lbs). First things first, seating position: Wayy foward compare to our FZ6's. Grips are much lower...
