    Performance Upgrades to 2008 FZ6

    Tony, It's your bike. Mod it as you wish. :thumbup: For me, I'm pretty close to Matt and the goose guy in that I've done more for handling and comfort. I was considering the ECU flash, just before I installed the R6 forks. My interest was in smoothing out the abrupt throttle response...

    Sprocket Selection for Long-Distance Riding

    Hi and welcome to the forum. I haven't tried changing sprockets because I've been happy with the stock setup. Most of my miles are either commuting (6 miles each way) or local twisty roads. Once or twice a year I find myself on the interstate to get to point B. The bike runs fine for hours at...

    Help me choose my first replacement tires

    So, original poster - how did those RoadSmart II's do for you last summer? Isn't it an AWESOME feeling when you put those new tires on? :D I commute 6.3 miles to work every day I can ride. The ride home is usually longer. For fun I run the twisties of WV & southeastern OH - great roads...

    Picking her up Wednesday!

    Welcome to a a GREAT forum! Lots of great information on our bikes and helpful, friendly people talking about it. And, hey - you're more or less in my neighborhood! Well, on an international scale anyway. You might consider joining OhioRiders.net. That site is not useful for FZ6 info, but...

    Couple of new things

    Nice job, Blu! Thanks for sharing. I've thought about the pod light mod but I've put most of my time into suspension, rider position, etc. Those are the stock signals, right? I'm in favor of the signals being very visible. The previous owner of my bike replaced the rear signals with small and...

    Can You Remove a Dislike or Like?

    Nope. Still no buttons to un-like in Explorer. Are both of you guys moderators, and might you have special powers? :thumbup: Final Impact: moderator?

    Can You Remove a Dislike or Like?

    Thanks guys. (FI too.) But I still don't see an Un-like button. or Un-dislike. Where do see this? Might it be an issue for which browser is used? I'm using Chrome. ...checking I.E.

    Can You Remove a Dislike or Like?

    I really like the feature to click on Like or Thanks. I've never used the Dislike button, except one time by mistake - fat fingers on the touch screen. :Flash: So is there a way to remove one of these likes or dislikes? I've tried re-clicking, but the button disappears. Thanks!

    Stiff clutch

    I felt the same thing when I bought mine a bit over two years ago. Many folks here have the same comment and I believe it's normal for this bike. The pull on mine hasn't changed and I've gotten used to it. Some guys say it is better to lube the cable. I haven't tried it but to me it doesn't...

    FZ6 Windscreen Poll

    I just changed from a stock screen to the MRA Vario. At highway speeds it makes a HUGE difference in deflecting the wind from my helmet. I feel a lot less strain on my neck and I really haven't noticed any turbulence at all. I was worried that it would look funny but it's really not very...

    Shoei Qwest vs RF1200

    I like my RF-1200. Great quality, and comfort. My head is rather oval shaped so this is the right shape for me. I've been very impressed with how well it deals with the wind when I do a head check over my shoulder. There's no extra drag at all. I've complained about noise, but I now suspect...

    Rear flat tire, options?

    If you really want to avoid removing the wheel your best bet is to get a plug kit at a parts store. Plug the hole, let it cure (a couple of minutes?), then pump the tire up to pressure a day or so before you ride it anywhere to be certain it will hold. But please consider removing the rear...

    Throttle Lock

    I tried the crampbuster then bought the Throttlemeister. I never got comfortable with the crampbuster. I seemed to be in the way and when you you use it it leaves you feeling very twitchy because it is is sensitive to the amount of pressure you keep on the lever. Also it never really let me...

    Sena 10R ?

    I commend everything that Paragon said here. I'm very happy with my purchase of a two-pack set of the 10R. Got the two so I could talk with my wife when she rides pillion, but I use it ALL the time when I'm out solo. Regarding the comment about the buttons and the menu, I rarely ever make...
