    Okay Delkevics are just too loud. What now?

    So here is an update to this thread I started about quieting down my exhaust. I was just handed a pair of never-used 2011 YZF R1 exhausts that my co-worker figured I could make work on the FZ6. I saw this in a different thread on this site: FZ6 2 Bros part number: Carbon Fiber M-2 Muffler...

    Okay Delkevics are just too loud. What now?

    Okay, a few more noob questions. 1) Did you add to the factory packing or replace it? 2) If you added, did you blend your materials with theirs or just added yours to pack it tighter? 3) Denser means quieter? Went looking for info on Delkevics and some of their models are called "oval...

    Great to be back in the fz6 pack!

    So that was the look the guy gave me when I rode away on his... I mean my FZ6.:D I'll heed your warning and never get rid of it. It's my first bike so I don't have anything to compare it to but outside of some comfort issues with my new Corbin, I absolutely love the damn thing. Congrats on...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    She's 5'1" and just over 100lbs so I never really feel her back there but I can feel the additional weight in the tighter curves, at 90 degree corners and for sure when braking. I'll ask her if she's turning her head into the corners. Thanks.

    Okay Delkevics are just too loud. What now?

    I don't think I have the patience for that but out of curiosity, how much or how little do you put in and when does it start affecting back pressure and performance of the engine?

    Okay Delkevics are just too loud. What now?

    Short and sweet.The Delkevic slip-on is awesomely loud and the carbon fiber exterior is sooo much better looking than the stock plastic rocket ship-looking cover. But, it's just getting annoying on our long rides through the mountains and farm lands. Because I'm a nice guy, I constantly pull the...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    Couple things: I do have some vibration at highway speeds that I can feel on the pegs and in the seat but, the fairing-mounted stock mirrors do not vibrate at any speed where I can't see out of them. I believe the convex shape of driver's section of the Corbin seat is just bothering my pinch...

    Coolant is dark brown

    Smelled like french toast and syrup. Yummy! I grew up in Miami so I know exactly what hot and humid feels like and for the last month or so here in Knoxville, it's felt just that. That being said, my temps with the 50/50 mix of french toast and syrup has been around 175F-185F on the back road...

    Coolant is dark brown

    I though distilled just for flushing but I see you guys just said tap water is good enough for flushing. Ty.

    Coolant is dark brown

    Here is what I drained out and it ain't Old Orchard cranberry juice.:D It's 2am and I'm sleepy so please tell me it's okay to leave the all the coolant out of the bike until tomorrow when I can pick up some distilled wawa and some coolant. By the way, while it was draining out, the stream color...

    Coolant is dark brown

    So good old Prestone 50/50 is all I need? My local Cycle Gear guy was pushing Engine Ice but it was more than 4x the price of regular coolant.

    Coolant is dark brown

    My bike is a 2008 with 9000 miles and I'm the 3rd owner. Do you think it's just rust from years of previous owners not changing it often enough?

    What's with all the model numbers?

    I'm trying to order an OEM air filter for my 08 but a couple websites ask which model I have. These sets [FZS6XCB, FZS6XL, FZS6XCL, FZS6XCA] all seem to pull the same exact part number which is cool but another site uses these [FZ6-NAHG, FZ6-NHG, FZ6-SAHG, FZ6-SHG] for their air filter. Is the...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    I do stand up on the pegs once I start to get sore but by then it's too late and no, I don't move my butt while cornering because I don't take corners hard. I just push the handle and lean. I'll try doing both of those suggestions on tonight's ride.
