Shell Rotella 5w-40 is the only oil fit to use in your FZ6! :D

Check out SHOWGUN FRAME SLIDERS!!! :thumbup: I installed these on my '07 and have been very happy with them so far. They seem to be a high quality product. Hope I never have to test them out in a crash though.;)

Ok sorry. I just reposted it because I thought I did something wrong.

Hello, I have been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to join. :Lurking: I am a long time FZ6 admirer and hope to get a brand new one this summer as soon as my Harley sells. (Please see my post under bikes and stuff for sale.) I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and...
