Do some research on it. I've never had it in there for 50 miles, and I for sure wouldn't go anymore than 100 miles with the Seafoam added to the oil before I changed the oil. It's for cleaning out all the crap in your crankcase, and you really don't want that stuff floating around very long once...

Agreed! I've been thinking about getting rid of my FZ6 because of how poor the throttle response is due to a crappy EFI system, no way I'm going to spend twice what it's worth on something with the same problem haha. As far as the small tank, you will still be able to go about 150 miles on...

X2!! Run straight gas and straight oil, no need for additives. Seafoam and other fuel system cleaners are good to do once in a while, but you were running it in every tank?? And were you running that stuff in your oil too, it's hard to tell. It is certainly NOT made to be ran with oil. You can...

Both of those maps are by far the worst you can use, and they usually only tune WOT on the dyno. IIRC they both add 20%+ fuel across the board in the 0-50% throttle range when they shouldn't be adding any. This is what I was talking about with people getting the wrong idea because of horrible...

I did on my bike. Before I had cranked up the CO like +~35-40 over where it was stock (running Leo's without the inserts, no cat, and a big hole cut in the air box) and was getting about 50-55mpg on the highway. After the PCIII with a mixture of the Leo Vince tune and Two Bros tune that I'm...

Nice! I think my next purchase (if I don't sell the FZ6 for one...) is going to by a DRZ400 and modding the crap out of it. For whatever stupid reason my state doesn't allow you to convert dirt bikes to be road legal (needs to have a street legal vin), otherwise I would already be rocking a 450X...

It's the FZ-09 in the states, MT-09 everywhere else I believe. Don't ask me why.

Love this bike! It could use more power (more is always better :rockon:), but 414lbs wet is AWESOME! Assuming it doesn't sound like ass with aftermarket exhaust I'd like to get a used one in a couple years when the used prices fall. I agree on the larger tank, but how often do you ride over...

From what I've read, this is a common problem on these. I HATE it! Most (but not all) of the time when I'm off the throttle coming into a tight corner, then get back on the throttle, there is a sudden burst of power when I first open the throttle. It's not bad enough to make you dump the bike...

Do you have an actual weight for both of them? I always hear people saying they weigh a lot more but have never seen real weights for both.

Price? Also, how does it compare to your new seat?

I'm not going to argue with you as I MUCH prefer an analog speedo and tach, but us 04-06 guys are rocking an all digital gauge setup, along with quite a few other bikes out there. I really agree on the fuel tank though. It would have been really nice had they added another gallon capacity to...

I read that as you can't post something without a price and ask for highest offer. I agree that it should be more clear, maybe just make the rule that you must post a price because, unless I missed it, that rule isn't in the listed rules.

Where are you reading that OBO isn't allowed? Not posting a price and selling to the higher bidder isn't allowed, but an asking price or best offer certainly is.

I still can't believe they are coming out with this for so cheap. It's $100 more than a FZ6R, has almost double the horsepower, weighs 55lbs less, looks to have better brakes AND suspension....That $100 bill has never bought so much :D I don't know why they didn't come out with something like...
