    What thought it was faster then you today

    A few weeks ago a supercharged Ford f150 svt lightning decided he wanted some smoke from a dead stop. I enjoy the whine of a nice supercharger as much as the next gear head but he just couldn't keep up. To this day the fz6 surprises me when you rip the throttle in 1st & 2nd and I havent done...

    Saddle bag mounting

    I'll have to get some pictures and measurements tomorrow at work but I made a PVC bracket that mounts to the passenger pegs and license plate holder. |_| <-basic representation of its shape and it seems to work well, hasn't melted, although I have a stock exhaust, and was quick and inexpensive...

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    I was in the same boat as you. I came from an 08 ninja 250 and the throttle was the biggest change for me. Learning to manage it just came with practice. I commute almost everyday on the fz6 and the biggest things that helped me were slipping the clutch a little (I think someone mentioned that)...

    How many miles are left when its on the last bar of the gas gauge?

    I've ridden 20mi once the last bar starts blinking. Haven't pushed it past that.

    Flappy rear brake light housing with gap at the top!

    I put 2 small pieces of velcro on the bottom of my motodynamics lights and the corresponding hook pieces on the small plastic piece that borders it. I'm sure it moves if I hit a large bump at speed but other than that it's quite stationary

    Riding above ~7K

    I never need more than 7k rpm when commuting. That being said it's really a good thing for me because when my right hand gets heavy on the throttle there is still another 7k rpm for me to use. Although I have never hit the redline and don't think I ever will. I love this bike, Does everything I...

    whats a decent helmet cam

    I bought the ODVRM action cam off amazon. Something like 60$ iirc. It's pretty much a spitting image of a go pro, comes with a waterproof case, different attachments, etc etc just like a go pro. I use mine while riding, driving, paintballing, etc and it has held up extremely well...
