    Looked at an FZ6 last night...

    I don't know if this helps with the decision, in my quick reading it sounds like you want to dump the M4's? I have a stock exhaust from a 2007 that you or anyone that wants them can have for the cost of shipping from NY. I bought the Leo Vince's and have been very happy with them overall...

    Leo Vince Install

    Thank you for the post...MOST helpful I installed my Leo's last weekend, only took about 4 hours...with beer breaks. The only part that was A LOT of trouble i had was how to setup the new "y" bracket that supports the fender and plate...nothing seemed to fit perfectly, and I was never very...

    still have downshift issues, mostly after steady ride

    I had a similar issue down shifting into first...as I approached the stop everything was downshifting ok...but I couldn't get it into first at the stop. I finally just gave a little extra throttle(MAYBE 1000 rpm), pushed down on the shifter and partially released the clutch and it popped in...

    Best quote from a cop about motorcyclist

    We have to many Squids in upstate NY, I think the actual number of courteous, safe and PREPARED drivers is 1 in 20. I have almost been creamed while RIDING by some ass crotch rocketing through heavy traffic...subsequently I have had very few near death incidents with Cagers...maybe it is...

    Kids with Civics crack me up (warning, bit of a pent up rant)

    Those of you in the Rochester NY area may know this guy... Drives a early 2000's Altima, b lack with a rusted front fender, and flat black hood, not modded out with ricer crap, but the guy that drives it is complete TOOL. Drives it like a SQUID weaving through HEAVY (for Rochester) rush...

    Hot hot hot!

    I have yet to get Riding pants, but always gear up for my rides, Stay out of stop and go and it isn't to bad. I feel pretty naked just sitting on the bike static without the jacket, bucket and gloves now. I have a Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 jacket, with all the vents open and the arm snaps, and...

    Scorpion Exo: 700 Vs. 1000??

    I have had some Crappy helmets, and a couple High end race replicas (Arai's if Memory serves) (Borrowed for a season I can't afford that crap!) The EXO1000 I find VERY comfortable, I too don't feel air flow, but even in 90 plus days never got a hot sweaty head. It is a little loud, and the...

    Is the FZ6 the best bike you have owned, ridden???

    This is my Third bike, second that made it on the street for very long, Had a '79 (I think) Honda CB750 1982 Yamaha Seca 550 And the FZ6 is WAY the best...but I love the hell out of my Seca, a nice little predecessor to the FZ6...and was the bike Ted McGinnley rode in "Revenge of the...

    Shopping for Buying 2007+ FZ6, advice, comments, suggestions

    Hey Fellow NY'er, I just bought my 07 FZ6, and it has been terrific, zero real problems. I would say do your diligence like buying anything used. Based on the mileage see what the service history has been, check the oil, tire condition, and responsibility of the previous owner. I asked...

    Sorry if this has already been covered

    Well after sticking my face and shaving mirror into all the nooks and Crannies I found nothing. Coolant was nice and clean, tasted really sweet in my coffee....lol NO spills or drips, no smoking....and no new oil loss! Very weird. I was looking through my info that the guy I bought it...

    To wave or not to wave, that is the unorigionally named poll...

    I try to wave to everyone, except scooters. Even the big greasy Harley guys or cruiser types will wave most of the time. Try to spread the love between genres I always say. Had a guy with a V-rod pull up next to me and had some nice stuff to say about my "crotch rocket". We can all get...
