CCT fitted and nearly 3000kms on, all is well! Thanks for the help! Cheers, Rick

Hi guys, got the rear Metzeler Z8 Interact tyre changed today, after 21473kms (12883mi) The front, I got fitted at the same time still looks good for maybe 2000kms, or so. Humpy estimated I'd get 20000kms or so, based on him getting 18000kms on a heavier bike, so it is good to see the...

WHAT - you all deleted it? But what about the free money? WOW, you just lost a FORTUNE!! (snicker, snicker, snicker.....)

Hello guys. I come to you seeking help for the dreaded task of replacing the CCT on the '05 FZ6. I can get a genuine CCT for about $AU100, and I like this option because the stock one has thus far lasted 60000kms, and I haven't had to fiddle with it - whereas a manual CCT will need...

kenh, yes, Russia does have a lot of dash cams as it is a requirement of their insurance cover. (no cam, the insurance company will not cover you in the event of an accident) It's good viewing if you have a spare couple of mins though!

We have variable speed signs on the SE Freeway, out of Adelaide, and I reckon they are excellent, if perhaps a little slow to update after a hazard has passed....

Welcome to the forums and to the mighty FZ6. Of the dozen, or so, bikes I have owned, the FZ6 is my favourite! As for tyres, Metzeler Z8 Interact, no question! Fantastic grip, dual compound so you'll get great commuting miles, and best in class wet-weather performance. I saw Keith at...

Well, at least Metzeler is looking into it. Unlike Michelin, when the PR3s delaminated, they denied all knowledge, without an offer to look into it, and sent a bigshot lawyer in to the court case to hush it all up. BTW my Metzelers are and were perfect. Manufacturing defects happen in...

I personally hate the size and bulkiness of the GoPro cameras, and this one seems to follow suit. I'd much rather use me Contour cameras. Having said that, however, if you want to mount the camera to your chest, you can't do that with a bullet cam, so even the mighty Contour has it's...

I could only watch a few minutes of that - spoilt children piss me off. If I told my kids I ate their lollies, and they acted like this, they would get a swift smack on the arse. Not to mention, in an age of sexual predators potentially living next door, I disagree wholeheartedly with...

Thanks for the review DeepBlue. I didn't notice this gyroscopic tendency of which you refer, but instead felt the tyres wanted to drop into a corner. My bike feels much more nimble than what I had on there, so I guess it depends on what type of tyre you last had? Definitely need correct...

Yes, my bike got consistently better mileage with the 98RON. Is it worth the difference? Based purely on the extra mileage, maybe not - but the 98RON also has added detergents etc which keep the injectors clean, and the entire fuel system clean. Cheaper than buying a bottle of Spitfire...

As a MINIMUM! My FZ6 never got anything but 98RON! (oh, except when I tried to check the mileage because some smart alec forum member said 87RON might be better!) Also, check the TPS! Cheers, Rick

My opinion, should I have been the driver if the SUV. Note, this is based on the laws governing the good ol' United States of Oz. The motorcyclists were behaving in a way to suggest they were 'boxing' the SUV in, i.e. depriving him of his liberty. His partner and child were in the car, and in...

Good way to sit there and learn not to lean, I reckon.
