Hello

[dean2287]

Just thought I'd say hi. I am in Calgary, ride a Piaggio X9 500ie maxi-scooter but have been looking for a FZ6 for some months now. It's the bike for me. I want a red one but they quick making red a couple years back so it's a bit hard to find. There are a couple used ones out there so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Figure I might as well get on the FX6 forum now, hope nobody minds. Cheers!

Welcome to the FZ6 forum...the FX6 forum is next door.

By just choosing red you close down 75% of the other options...but good luck.

Err - hope nobody minds that I'm a moron...

Actually, the black is very nice also, call it my second choice.

Here's a couple bikes I found locally. The first has just 2000km on it, all stock, no issues. Tha second has 16,000km, had a new clutch, luggage, touring windscreen, and new levers.

New Clutch after 16,000km?

Hi Dean,
Im from Lethbridge, 2007 RED FZ6 for sale. MINT. PM sent.

 

[dean2287]

Thanks, I'll put it on the list! I think '07 was the last year for red. I'll let you know as I want to sell my bike first.

The new clutch after 16,000km issue suprised me too...that's not something you would normally mod as far as I know. I've asked the seller for some info about that. Personally I'd rather get something newer anyway.

Welcome mate,

There is only one red FZ6 not to buy.........
Don't worry it was sold back to a dealer in Salton City (not quite hell, but you can see it from there).
Good luck with the hunt.

LOL LOL LOL

That was priceless Nelly.

On the clutch from the helmet it looks like a lady riders bike, she may of been learning, or may of been very aggressive but the tour gear kinda says no to that.

They may of replaced because of failure to adjust the clutch lever right too. You just never know.

I know I have given mine total hell, and still do all the time. Works great, bite my tounge and knock on wood.

Good thoughts, thanks. Love your ride BTW, looks pretty stripped down LOL.

All the hard luggage along is worth hundreds! Worth considering after you see how it runs. FZ6s are pretty bullet-proof really.

Welcome to the forum dude.

On the clutch, find out if it was the clutch... or the clutch cable!!

Mine has done 18,000 Km, and I just replaced my clutch cable, it was getting a bit stiff and didn't want it to break while I was out riding.

Welocme..FZ6's are great in any coulour BUT...
Its a proven fact that black is the best colour of all

 

[oogie]

Welcome to the forum, you can't go wrong with an FZ6.....whatever the color

 

[taggf1]

welcome and all the best on your search! But shouldn't you be be more concerned with a snow mobile? (lol):Flash:

Freaking Hilarious! LOL....when in the hell you coming to Vegas, I can use so more laughter.

This was an inside joke, as the former owner of that particular Red FZ was known as our "official FZ6 Test Rider".........you get the idea?

Welcome to the forum by the way. You're not the only member who converted from a big scooter to the FZ. Not me, but I recalled a few members posting a similar intro.
