4 cylinder, 16 valve DOHC, fuel injection with 6-speed gearbox. 5.1 gallon tank. Great mileage (50-60mpg). But you probably already knew that. I've got a line on a mint condition BMW I've always wanted, so looking to sell my beautiful FZ6... Runs perfect, broken-in properly, only sub-2000...

Somehow, you sort of have to like this... Sorry, but Mr. Merge threatened the life of the Cruiser - vehicle as a weapon. Brandishing the means of self-defense - while a bit questionable - sure cleared things up.

Two words: Big horn. They'll probably see you if they hear you.

The FJR is (was) on my list... My buddy has a nice '04 that he isn't afraid to ride near my FZ6. For me, yep - already modded my new this spring 07 FZ6, and then just bought a BMW K1200RS today. Deal... too... good... to... pass... up... Oy ve! Sorry! My humblest apologies, fizzy friends...

Shure E3C's. Discontinued. Any of the Shure ones are super-nice, but all are pricey. The expensive ones are well worth it if you are an audiophile. They also make yellow foamy earbuds for these. They cut out outside sound better than the other buds. Fantastic.

Love doing it now... Don't dirt riders do this all the time? Aren't the gear boxes essentially the same type?

I keep a couple of spray bottles in my garage. One has a wash solution, one just water (for the windscreen and other uses.) I just use towels and the spray bottles to give my fizzer a sponge bath every few days... Sometimes it's just bugs on the front end, sometimes all around. Some day...

Seems like a lot of fricken' hoops to jump through... and a lot of people experiencing it. I'm going to print off some of the info and tape it into my the back of my manual for future reference. :-) Hopefully my '07 doesn't run into this.

Does anyone have a picture of the Corbin seat? I've seen it on a BMW K1200RS. The seat looked great on that ride, if not just a bit too much like a old-lady horsie saddle...
