However, I disagree that contacting corporate will probably do nothing. I would make sure to send a letter to corporate. Don't worry about getting him fired. If he has had prior complaints he will probably be fired, not your problem. If nothing else, he will get further training and...
When the bikes were introduced at the M/C show, I was able to do a side by side comparison. IMO the standard FZ6 seemed like a much better bike as far as build quality and bang for the buck. The R version just seemed to be much cheaper quality. I do like the full fairing on the R, and wish I...
IMO it is important that you think about the type of riding that you do, and/or plan on doing in the future.
If you plan on doing more sport touring/trips then I would highly reccommed a one piece or two piece textile suit. You may not plan on riding in the rain, but I've gotten soaked...
I asked this same question of a Dunlop engineer some years ago. Since I've worked in the automotive tire industry for almost 30 years, I found it an interesting question on several levels.
His answer was to point out several things...

The fz6 I bought has the stock windshield on it, but cut down so it is even with the top of the faring. It does keep me from getting any wind around my helmet and has been great with the summer temps. However, with winter coming on and bringing colder/wetter conditions, I'm a little concerned...

yes they do!
almost same thing for me about a month ago....
out riding one early sat morn and on my way home, came around a slower speed (about 35mph) right hander on a back road near here. Leaned over slightly and doing my regular late apex, saw black gravel all through the curve and...

Would also be intersted in a service book for same.

Hey all...just purchased a 07 FZ6 of ebay. Red model with several mods already done to set it up for sport-touring. Been riding m/c since 1974, so I've owned several different makes and models over the years. First bike was a yamaha 125 enduro. Also owned a RD350 and a 650 Special at one...
