2006 totally bone stock and first and most likely only time it'll go to the track. Brand new track surface, first event since 11/2017. My first passes since 8/2017 after cutting my season short for bi-lateral knee replacement surgery. Pictures should be available within the next week or so at...

I hadn't touched any of the balance screws. I just hadn't moved the actual idle screw enough thinking it was and actual throttle plate or lever hard stop screw. I'll probably still lift the tank and check the air filter and throttle bodies to be sure they're clean and nothings living in there...

Just a quick update of what I learned today and from the link provided earlier. First off I thought I was adjusting a throttle plate stop screw or linkage for the hard throttle stop.

Aloha to all, I've been searching different topics for a few days and couldn't find anything that resembles my problem. I've purchased a 2006 FZ6 with 7,800 miles which is all stock with the exception of bars, grips, levers and a 48t rear sprocket. I've only put about 100 miles on it but a few...

Aloha to all from Maui Hawaii. I've been riding since I was 9, just picked up an 06 in the fast blue color with 7,900 miles for $2500 which is a steal here on the island. Turned 60 this past June, seriously addicted to NHRA drag racing which we're blessed to have a 1/4 track Maui Raceway park...
