I bought a YZ250F a few months ago...after growing up on dirtbikes I decided to get back into it. It is a blast, but I did break my collar bone using my street skills( used the front brake in a turn and washed out front end)....use back brake more in the dirt than front break.. Scotty J...

Have you guys checked out Fontana Village? This is where we host our FZ1 Rally each year. We should be able to get them to block a section of rooms or cabins. Check out the website....Fontana Village Resort. A Great Smoky Mountain Destination!.. The 2008 FZ1 Rally will be June 6,7,and...

I work in the Investment area...been working with same guy for 10 years...we do a lot trading in stocks... Hopefully making my own dreams come true... Scotty J.

What about pants....textile ot leather? u did not mention pants.. Scotty J.

I always dress for the crash not the weather....u never know when that cager is going to pull out in front you or when your going to hit gravel in the middle of a turn. Full Gear 97% of the time... Scotty J.

Mirrors are solid with no vibes...In hte picture I am using stock bar ends...I just moved the throttle switch housing in about 3/8" and then the mirrors mounted on the actual barends...not the bars....Again, this is an FZ1 not an FZ6...my brother had the same complaint with the FZ6 stock...

Just talked to Ivan....he is now in NY...he said you probably do not want to do that mod...FZ6 engine not as lean as the R1. He said you would probably see a slight improvment. I would call him before you go and do it. He also said that if there was anybody near him that didn't mind giving...

Try some Rizoma bars...they do lower you a bit and the sweep is less and a tad wider...My brother just put some red ones on his FZ6... Check out the pictures in this thread...these are the Rizoma bars on my FZ1..same ones my brother just put on....go to www.pjsparts.com...talk to Paige or PJ...

Is this the same Ivan in Kentucky....if so I can see he does top notch work....He has done amazing things for the GEN 1 FZ1...my FZ1 has Ivan's Jet kit and she runs great... Scotty J.

BARS...a bit to narrow...and the sweep of the stock bar is too much... Just my 2 cents... Scotty J.

Never have gotten a knee down on my FZ1...but I have never NEEDED to put a knee down or even scrape a peg feeler on the street....I think it is something that happens as you get to become a better rider and learn about body position, lines into corners, bike set up. etc...there are a lot of...

Here are the Rizoma bars on my FZ1...I think they would work great on the FZ6 as well. If you want to buy them go to PJ's Parts - Accessories For Every Bike And Rider He usually has them in stock in different colors. also sells the Rizoma bar ends...Tell them Scotty J sent you........

Wazzz UP! everyone....I registered the other day. I ride a 2002 FZ1 with lots of upgrades... My brother just got a FZ6 so I thought I would join up and share thoughts and ideas.. Scotty J.

Compressed air for getting them off and putting them on... Scotty J.

No problem....make sure tell them that Scotty J sent you. They are very helpful so ask them questions. Get the bars tapped as well...even if you decide to buy the Rizoma bar ends..the groves will help keep them on gives it something to grab on to.... Your welcome!! Scotty J.
