I wasn't sure about the CB1000R, but I can safely say it's no slouch. When I was out today, I checked my mirrors to overtake a 4x4 only to see a NSX coming up the outside. I held back and planned to follow the NSX, only to see a CB1000R directly behind it. The CB1000R then went passed me, the...

At least we can confirm what the min fuel consumption is then. :D

Don't worry my friend, it's purely a technical exercise. Just trying to figure out if my bike is working the way it should be. I'm a novice rider, so I keep the safety on and the big guns locked away for the most part. :scared:

Firstly, thanks for all the posts. I'll be trying the 'max-out' in 1st option to see if it hits the limiter. I'm not bothered about what speed I need to go, as I'll just pick a stretch of road long enough to get the limiter to start skipping revs. Regarding the above quote, that pretty much...

Try this link... Gand's simple FZ6 Dual Headlight mod I did the same thing, only I didn't bother tapping the black/green wire. Instead, I removed the H7 side connector and simply threaded the wire across the back of the lower bulb pin (and did the same on the H4 side, only remembering to...

Hi. I think my tacho is busted. Why? Well, I’ve been checking out vids on YouTube of guys gunning it on FZ6’s. For instance, take a look at this one... (p.s. it's not me... just some crazy dude) YouTube - FZ6 almost top speed As a matter of performance testing, I’ve been opening up the...

Cheers people!! I went out for a blast the other (very sunny) day and brought the bike home with brake discs absolutely smokin' hot. Had no problems slowing/stopping. Had a look in the front brake res, and all seemed fine. Used the hammer tap technique to open the screws, and torqued...

I've just bought a FZ6-SA a couple of months ago, so I've been watching the fuel usage closely. On my last tank, I got roughly 48 mpg (imperial) or 5.9 l/100 km (metric). I always fill the tank up to the brim whilst the bike is on the centre stand, and always use super unleaded (98 RON). The...

Is this pic correct? Do you Yanks still use leaded in your tank?

Good vid!! As part of the new module 1 test (UK only), the rider is required to perform an emergency stop. The examiner will fail you if you: a) lock the rear wheel, or b) lift the rear wheel, or c) do NOT show substantial front suspension travel (compression) d) go under 50 Km/h (32...

Hi, I can't seem to see anything through the sight on the front brake res, as it's completely misted over. Tried using a torch (flashlight to you Yanks), and a laser pointer to light it up, but no joy. I'm a bit reluctant to open it, as I previously shredded the screws on another bike -...

Hi. Thanks for clicking this thread... either you have the same problem, or can help (I think). I have a 2006 FZ6-SA, and I recently bought NGK iridium sparks to fit. I had a look through the Haynes manual, and thought I'd give it a bash. Remove the fairing, lift the tank, remove the airbox...
