    Surprise T section on a road you can clearly see down, link confirms it. Since my engine and moderate rear braking advice wasn't helpful, maybe you need a lesson in paying attention? That's not a trick curve. With the distance one could feasibly run 70-80 and stop way before the stop sign. Not a...

    Unless I'm misjudging the distance, you should have had no problem stopping from 60mph. You need to practice braking, mostly front and engine, skidding the rear will do nothing, the difference between car and bike is simple. You have a tiny rotor in the back and two giant rotors in the front...

    Hmm, spirited riding? Need to work on your front braking, also downshifted into first would have helped. Glad youre ok.

    Water pump, strange noises

    I'm sure someone has a maintenance book on digits w/o reviving a 366 day old thread.

    Strange sound from Water pump?!

    My advice, if an OEM is 50-60, and eBay is 30. Don't buy a knockoff..

    Another FZ6 project

    Looks good, ny advice is to research the myth that is back pressure. Especially with a tuning solution.

    How did you come up with your login (nickname)?

    Mine derives from a very checkered past. That's all the information I need to indulge. Not bike theft related.

    07 FZ6 broke down..

    Get battery tested, the click you heard was the starter attempting to engage. Check your ground wire as well as a bad connection can yield the on off crap your describing. Also you need to up your idle, letting it idle doesn't won't charge the same as if you ride it or rev it up for a bit

    My bike evidently came with a coolant reservoir - now what?

    Only if you plan on keeping your coolant in there for several years. I usually do a flush and fill every 1-2 years. My preference anyways. Using giant bolded text will not deter me anyways. The electrolytes in anti freeze can rot radiators and heater cores. Rest is simple wear and tear like...

    Peak global gold. I use tap water with that on my car and ran it in my 08 for several years.

    Rode a Brand New Triumph Street Triple R

    The speed on an 09 is irrelevant given the 132mph cutoff. The shear quickness of it is only beat by a select few liter bikes. It's so nimble I could ride it through WalMart if I needed too. =]

    Overnight Street Parking

    2006 FZ6 running rich - Oz model

    I'm a little confused when you said you used a piece Of paper and got black stuff out? Is it gas or oil your looking for here? Some exhaust blow water albeit it would take some force for an fz exhaust and your cat should get the unburnt fuel. If its oil your spitting that's a completely...

    Pirelli Angel GT

    Yah if contrasted to a performance car, the bike tires are cheap. Even for a decent W or Y rated will run 6-700
