Did you crack your frame? or chip a piece off? I missed that part in the original post. I was expecting this to be a couple hundred dollar fix for the fairing mostly

I always have the urge to do this, but at highway speeds I'm afraid they'll jump when I do it and accidentally swerve towards me...

Re: December 2015 BOTM - uploads enabled I'm pretty confused as to why my photo will only show up on its side... no matter how many times I try to rotate it

Fork lights upfront on both sides, and hyperlites on the back. I run two 16 LED hyperlites that are constantly on then flash continuously under braking. Also they sell rim tape that is florescent when lit by car headlights and stuff. Other than that your riding style can play a big part in how...

Should check out my channel, I dont do the motovlogging (I dont think people could handle my inner thoughts haha) but I review bikes and show stuff on my FZ6! My latest video is about packing for camping/touring trips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yd_sPwfFeI

Its only threaded on the one side, traditional thread direction too. I broke a socket extension trying to get it out once, it was Snap-on though so they replaced it. Since I've bought a 19 mm allen key and used that, plenty of torque on something that big. I bought it at Princess Auto, (I think...

Did you try to pump out all the old fluid first without adding new? I watched a bit of the video, and they said it but I didn't see it, you have to make sure you never let the fluid in the master cylinder get low enough for it to suck any air. I would put the bleed nipple back in and start...

If you're planning on doing all the fluids and adjustments I'd recommend getting some specific tools for working on the brakes and potentially syncing the throttle bodies. The bike is Japanese so metric fittings everywhere unless the previous owner had to replace something and used the wrong...

Glad to hear you aren't hurt (too badly), the forks could be okay, you might have just torqued them inside the triple clamps, loosen them off and you might find you can put it back to straight. I'd still check the stations to make sure they aren't bent though. Might not be a write off, and you...

I'd be happier on the BMW because it likely comes with heated grips, but for the price (and price of maintenance down the road) the Suzuki is clearly better. Also I think its difficult to completely turn off the traction control on the beamer, but from what I've read the Suzukis can be...

HVMP bar ends are also great for absorbing vibrations, I do a lot of long distance riding and have stock grips, I did 850 km in one day this summer and could have kept going. I find sometimes I need to re-position my wrist on the throttle side so its straighter and lets blood back into my hand...

On my dads BMW it has a bit of an interesting function, there's an electronic rev limiter and it starts with the redline down at about 5k and wont let you go over it, as the bike warms it progressively "unlocks" more revs to like 7k, 9k then the full regular redline. If you try to rev over any...

I find it hard to believe Toronto is ever empty enough to ever resemble a race track! I'd agree on the 07-09 FZ6 as your next bike, but obviously I have a bit of a conflict of interest I hope you're truthful when you sell her to the new buyer, I've yet to be really burned, but my last project...

I have some issues with some of the other things you said... But I'll keep it short, Drum Brakes? I dont know what happened to your bike but the FZ6 certainly has a rear disk... and a crossplane engine? Did someone do a 2009 R1 engine swap on your bike?

I know when I was searching for a bike to buy I specifically looked for an FZ6 because of ts versatility. It sounds like you want to do one thing and that's ride fast. There's no problem with that but when you want something to commute on, do touring trips, go out for fun twisty sporty rides...

Gotta remember that price is in beaver chips (CAD), the USD has quite the stronghold on us these days

I've been riding and reviewing my friends and family's bikes this summer and posting them to my youtube channel. I decided to do my FZ6 just to add to my content. Figured this would be a good place to post a link to it for any new members or people looking for info on the FZ6 as prospective...
