Pains me to do it but with our 1st baby due in September I have to let my 07 FZ6 go. Oil changed (have receipts) less than 1000 miles ago, chain lubed every 3-400 miles. Bike has never been down and with the exception of 1 or 2 stone chips on the fairing the bike is immaculate. Never given me...

Just ordered one of these. Will let you know how good it works once I get to try it. Also, what are you guys wearing under your gloves to keep your hands warm? Went out for a ride in 45 degree weather this weekend and even with thin cotton gloves under my regular ones my hands were freezing!

Here's mine :D

Plus, there's usually guys with cameras parked at that spot on weekends so that may give some people incentive to showboat.

I ride that road almost every weekend. There is a slight camber on that curve and the radius decreases midway into the turn a bit too. But I think what happens is after you are through the corner there is an uphill straight and I think guys get on the gas too quick to power up the incline.

I love my FZ6 and will probably keep it for a long time as it does everything really well. But if I ever decide/can afford to have another bike in my garage then this 1098 SF or the 848 would have to be it!:BLAA:

Yep the dry clutch is a love it or hate it affair. At idle it makes a racket. Then again, when you have 170hp how much time are you gonna spend idling??:D

Went out for a Rock Store/Mulholland ride today with a buddy I haven't seen in a while. He recently picked up an 1198S. Beautiful bike. We took it easy mostly, but on one particular straight he opened it up. I thought my bike was quick but he left me like I was standing still :Sport: Not sure...

I adjusted the slack down to about an 1/8" last night. Went out for a ride today and it really helped the snatchyness.

How difficult is the install?

What is the classic Yamaha tick you are referring too?

Absolutely! Hey Lytehouse, just curious how your FZ1 compares to the 6. MotoJoe, last weekend it rained (I know, hard to believe!) and with the time change it was dark when I was getting home from work. Today was the first chance for a decent photo op!

Weather was finally good enough to take a pick of my 07 FZ6 I picked up last week. Took this after I got back from a ride through Mulholland Hwy. :D Red is the fastest color right??

A buddy of mine sent me this link. Enjoy.... Insane Motor Race - Isle of Man TT
