Thanks, I'll give another try this evening. Do I need to take the battery off the bike completely, or will it ok just disconnecting the wires (from the bike) off the battery and charge it right there?

Please help, I came from a ride, shut the engine with a kill switch, but forgot to turn the key to the off position. Of course the next day bike didn't start. I tried to recharge it using the battery charger but it's not recharging. I tried jump starting from another bike, lights came up, but...

I found one person who sells the 07 FZ6 with 800 miles for $4500 I but can talk him down to $4000. It is pretty much stock except the lower pan which looks good and covers the bottom of the bike, and also the frame sliders. I think it can be a good deal...? Can't find any Vstroms for now, so...

I agree. With FZ there is more excitement you can get from. And even on a long straight road, on the strom you’ll get this sleepy feeling (read cruiser) were as FZ has more ”life” in it.

I have never saw so many excessive stop signs as in the USA. Normally it would be a yield sign if you can clearly see without any obstructions on your left and right. Apparently if they put a yield sign the drivers probably will just ignore it... USA is a country with the poorest driving ed in...

Well, the KLR650 is more of a dual-purpose than he would need. I know that the DL is more so called "user friendly" in every day use, but for a 5 foot 6 guy the height of DL can be little challenge. Another annoying thing I have with my FZ is that it emits heat (which by the way I didn't see...

My friend is debating on what to get. He likes the sportiness of the fz, but also a comfort and light off-road capabilities of a strom. I personally like them both for what they offer. The strom is also agile bike but kind of bulky for me (I'm 5'7), so it's hard to suggest to him one over the...

I can give you $80 shipped

+1 Agree with Maverick

No, it's a 07 model. There is a piece of a plastic between the seat and a pipe. Maybe I should put something else in there like a foam or some other heat absorbing material...

Thanks for all the good replies! One question that I still have - is there a way to move the foot pegs a bit forward? Or maybe anyone knows of a post which is already exists in a "how-to" section....

Thank you guys for the fast replies. That's what I'll have to do is to put a raisers and replace the sit. Is there a tread on how to lower the foot pegs? I'd like to do that to so it would be a perfect all-around combination...

Hi, I'm a new member here and just bought 07 model with low mileage and as new condition. I took it for a 200 miles ride and here what I discovered about it. Just wanted to share my first impression and see if this is common to all FZ6's: Good: The bike has good power and excellent brakes...
