Hi everyone, sorry to be a pain but can't find the answers I'm looking for by searching.
When I test rode the 2004 FZ6 the seat got quite hot, I only did about half an hours riding. Is this normal? I was only wearing kevlar jeans but the heat was nearly high enough for it to hurt (well at least be quite uncomfortable). The pillion seat was stone cold though, but I guessed this was because of the cooling fan. it's not a huge issue as I normally wear over trousers anyway, but I'm buying from a dealer and will get them to look into it if this isn't normal (has a 3 month warranty).
Also I've looked at the owner's manual and see that you need to take the tank off to get at the battery. Does this take long, or is it particularly fiddly? I only do a 4 mile commute so definitely in the winter I will need to fit some of those charging leads that you can leave on the battery (and tuck the other end away somewhere).
cheers guys
