    Considering selling the FZ6, but then what?

    Want to hear your opinions: I'm considering letting the FZ6 go and try something else. The top end rush of the 6 is awesome, but how often do you get to actually give it the stick on our roads? I've hit triple digit speeds once since I've had it. To me the 6 doesn't like to be ridden slow, and...

    Did i damage my engine

    Thank heavens!! Not sure how I didn't read the label correctly. I would have lost the rag if I damaged my precious Fizz.

    Did i damage my engine

    I was just out in the shed tonight and I looked at the bottle of Rotella T6 5w 40 and realized it says Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil. I changed the oil in the summer and have put maybe 700 miles on the bike since. It runs fine, but have I done any internal damage using the wrong oil? Thanks

    Thanks SweaterDude, that's what I was looking for. I spend $65 in parts and it took me a couple hours going really slow. Guess it was time well spent. I'll keep doing it myself then.

    No offence taken. No shops are open around here this late on a Saturday. Just spent half the day doing it all myself, and wanted to see if it was worth it.

    Lumpy idle when cold started

    I'm the second owner of my '08. The only modifications i know of is that the previous owner drilled out the stock exhaust. When i cold start the bike the idle is lumpy for a minute or two then it smoothes out. The bike runs great otherwise. Is this normal? I tried to reset the ECU by...

    Handlebar adjustment??

    Thanks for the input. Glad to know i'm not the only one. Been toying with the idea of trying 1" up x 1" back barbacks but i'm not sure if i would have enough play in the cables to turn the handlebars lock to lock without issues.

    Handlebar adjustment??

    I'm the second owner of my '08. I've been looking at the handlebars and i wonder if the previous owner had twisted it back a little. After riding for just an hour or so, my wrists hurt. Look at the pic and let me know what you think.
