I just crossed the 1000 mile mark on the bike. I had been on a trip for the previous two days during which I put about 350 on. Then I came home for the memorial day picnic and wrecked 4 miles from home. +1 on the no guardrails though. As for taking one for the team in helping my cousin...

Ok...so I wanted to share a story about my recent spill. First things first...I am 100% ok. I think I have a slightly tweaked right ankle, but thats it. I was on a local road that I know very well riding in front of my younger cousin who just bought his first bike (watching me wreck will...

I wanted to thank everyone for the suggestions and help so far. I picked one today and will hopefully have it by Thursday or so. Nelson Rigg CL-150 I may spring for the matching saddlebags, but I want to see how much I can fit into this alone first. I'll let everyone know how it is...

Just an FYI. In Pennsylvania as with many other states you are permitted to wear earphones as long as they are not touching your ears. That means the iAsus ones or chatterbox stereo phones are legal.

Whoa! Where is this "Gap"? The roads look beautiful. I'm in Pittsburgh Pa btw.

I personally like the half-faring. I'd be up for some photo's. Although I am rather early in the modification phase as I have only had the bike for about 3 weeks.

ProtectALL I found this stuff a while back and it is really about the best thing I have ever used for protection and shine. It is safe to use on...well...anything. Glass, plexiglass, plastic, metal, paint, chrome, vinyl...anything. After a good soap and water wash I go over all of the plastic...

Not to sound happy that you had to deal with this issue...but it is nice to know that I am not alone here. I had a worry that I got some wierd electrical lemon or something. They did the same thing with mine...which I repeated...and I put about 100 miles on today with no issues. It has been dry...

Woof...I hate electrical problems. I am going to ride it around this weekend and see if the problem persists. If it does my father is an electrical engineer and he thinks that he can trace every connection and narrow it down. Anyone have a wiring diagram for an '08 to help us out? Thanks

Well...yesterday the FZ got some tender love and attention. I washed the bike...pulled the plastic...waxed everything I could get my hands on. WD-40'd the pipes and high heat areas...and pulled, checked, and re-attached all of the electrical leads that I could get to. Everything looks like the...

I agree that it is a major issue...and I will not be taking the trip if it does not get fixed. I'm just hoping that someone else has had the same issue so that this does not turn into a bigger headache. If they cannot fix it can I force them to replace the ECU or something like that under...

Thanks for the reply but the shop told me that description of the error code is basically just a generic thing to say there is a connection problem...somewhere.

As a relatively new street rider (650 miles on my FZ-6 and about 2000 on my fathers old BMW-brick) I take most of my cues from lessons learned on the track...the dirt track. When racing dirtbikes in hair-scrambles or enduros (long distance through the woods stuff) there are some rules to follow...

So I have an '08 FZ-6...and I love it. I just got over the break-in mileage and everything has been fine. The bike however, has been having some electrical issues that are really worrisome. I wish they would have started prior to the 550-mile mark so that I could just turn the thing in, but it...

I am looking to get some luggage for my FZ-6. Now, before everyone starts yelling about how ugly it is let me explain. I am planning, with a friend (he rides an SV-650), several road trips throughout the summer. These trips will last between 4 and 7 days so I need enough space to pack the...

thanks to everyone and definitely GO PENS! I actually had the good fortune to attend game one of the Flyers series...and can't wait for Lord Stanley.

I just took my new bike in for the first service. I would have done it myself but there is some sort of electrical problem going on throwing an ER_1 code so they offered to do the service for me while they fix the electrical under warranty. This bike shop is a rare one though...they do stuff...

Hey everyone. My name is Justin and I just graduated from Penn State about a week ago. I'm moving from the Pittsburgh area to Harrisburg but decided to buy myself a graduation present in the form of an 08' FZ-6 just last week. I just hit the break-in mileage yesterday so needless to say I've...
