Hey Everyone,
I just picked up a 2008 FZ6 (Blue) the other night!!
Little bit about me.This is my 3rd bike, following a GS500 and Multistrada 620, after not having a bike for the past year. I consider myself on the taller side of riders, 6'4", and I've already logged some hours the past few days reading these forums and hope to gain alot from all the knowledge on here.
The bike: Has about 16,500 miles on it. New Michelin Pilot tires. The previous owner had the plugs, air/oil filters, brake fluid, and coolant changed around 8k miles(2.5 years ago) before driving it from MA to CA. Oil/filter changed again around the 13k mark. Few scratches from a drop offroad. Givi luggage.
Plans(besides riding it!): Immediate plans are to get some boots and gloves...followed by lowered footpegs... I also fell for the Leo Vince exhaust which might be a purchase in the future.
Does anyone have any recommendations on maintenance before I start riding?? (I'll be changing the oil and filter tomorrow)
ENJOY!
Lucien
