I have to sell my 2006 FZ6 because I lost my job last week. She has 9700 miles - more are added every day :) Scorpion Exhaust Flush Mount Signals Fender Eliminator Never been Crashed, but there are couple of scrapes/dents that make me think the previous owner tipped it over...

I paid $4,000 for my 2006 about 6 months ago. It has fender eliminator, flush mount signals and scorpion pipes. It had 6500 miles when I bought it and new handlebars, since the previous owner found out the hard way that clip-ons hit the tank if you screw up. (it has 2 dings to prove it)

If the divorce that would occur from buying it didn't wipe out all my money. I would take it in a heartbeat. That is a great deal! :cheer:

The problem with this is you will PERMANENTLY damage your hearing. I come from the music industry and your brain turns down the ear listening to the one earbud, so to hear it better you turn it up louder and louder. I had a friend that was only using one side on stage, and ALWAYS complaining...

Since you don't live in Iowa and you probably won't come buy the bike I want... There is a dealer with a NEW 2005 FZ1 in stock. They are asking $6500, but I bet with cash they would take $6,000. To me this seems like a steal, since a used FZ6 with 6k miles cost me $4,000. I don't know...

I have that exact Shoei in that exact color and absolutely love it. It is a million times quieter than the cheapo HBC I used to have. I also have the dark smoke visor, and find that I can use it even at night. The helmet feels great and I have been using it for about 3000 miles this year...

If you ever drive the bus over by DMACC, look in the parking lot to the west of where you park. If you see a blue bike that is mine. There must be a third, cause I haven't been to Best Buy in at least a year and don't even know where the West View Apartments are. email me sometime, life...

So I finally figured it out. It has been driving me :banghead: I was looking at the complete cooling system last night, cause it did the whole coolant piss on me again. I was looking at where the overflow reservoir line cam out of, and it didn't make much sense. But of course I left my laptop...

You live in Ames, or a surrounding town? I am in Roland if you live on the north side.... Gotta get my new plugs installed this weekend and the oil changed....

I can't believe I haven't gotten more responses... Should I just change the plugs and see if that helps? I have around 8000 miles on the bike, I bought it with 6500, so I am assuming they are original plugs. Anything else I should do before I pay to get a power commander and a dyno??

Probably was me. Not likely at Hobby Lobby, but Hastings is more my speed... I ride mine unless the rain is at least 50% chance, so you are likely to see me around. My office is by DMACC in Ames... We will have to go for a ride and admire each others wise choice in bikes. (I wanted a red...

I have a 2006 FZ6. I bought it with aftermarket exhaust but stock filter and no power commander. I have been noticing that my Scorpions are COMPLETELY covered with black soot on the inside. Is this normal? I would think that with the cats in there wouldn't be any soot. Another possibly...

I am in Ames too, haven't seen you riding around yet... What did you get, and from where?

The exact location is... 56.130676, 10.195398 It looks to be just south of the main city close to the water. Maybe it is a horse track?? I will be in Denmark on that weekend, but probably hanging out with others from school. I will be in Denmark from June 19th to July 5th. Thanks for...

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that SOOOO bad. I agree about the black paint. It really makes the "eyes" pop.
