    New Rider - 2006 FZ6 - 600CCs of Death

    if you are mature enough a 600 can be started on, but thats a huge debate that I am not willing to enter..... dont worry that "God complex" is easily humbled by the first Liter bike you try and mess with, and on rare occasion a very fast car.. take is slow, stay safe, stay thirsty my...

    Blown Head Gasket? Sealer?

    If you are a larger person and the exhaust comes in contact with the hugger and presses it agianst the tire then thats how I can see the damage to the hugger, assuming the rear preload is set very low. but that has absolutely nothing to do with the headgasket. thats like saying my tire is...

    decline in MPG'S

    in recent times I have switched up the fuel grade, did nothing. If I am ever stuck and I get gas at the QT up by the highway I always notice even lower mpg's. Havent checked the gap on the plugs... I just left the battery off and I took the FZ this week instead of the R1, on my short fill up it...

    Have you had your FZ6 stolen, attempted stolen or vandalized?

    definitely not just to make space...there are usually 3 bikes there total in a space that can probably hold 20, and if you are moving it then why flip up the key guard on the gas tank and not at least put my helmet back up?

    Which piece of gear do you wish you had never brought or own and why?

    My scorpion helmet, noisy, chips wayyyy to easily and last week the strap broke :eek: interestingly my Joe rocket stuff is for the most part held up very well (KOW)

    675R vs ZX6R vs GSXR 750

    I have ridden for quite a few miles a 07 zx6r and it has very little low end power, like zero. my Fz outruns it flat out until about 110... as much as i hate the 750, assuming you dont want to go with a liter, thats where id go.

    Broken Footpeg on Brake Pedal Side.

    the good thing is that once you get the new rearset it shouldnt take but 5 min to put on :thumbup: I also frequent chaparelle, their parts explosions are awesome and their tire deals are pretty good too. :welcome::welcome:

    decline in MPG'S

    I hadnt thought of that, I remember looking thru them a few weeks ago when I was going through the air filter, clutch and throttle cables, etc. iirc it was 15 and 100, which is within spec as far as that goes. I did have the recall done on the tps in 2011, I may just try taking off the battery...

    Rode through a flood. Have I killed my engine?

    maybe a spark plug cap is loose or something? is it possible that there is still some water on some of the sensors on the bottom side of the bike? I dont remember if there is a O2 on that year or not, but for that as well as the crank sensor, etc the ecu would throw a code (hopefully) or...

    decline in MPG'S

    Still terrible, went 171 miles on 4.008 gallons. thats 42.7mpg. I am out of ideas, air filter has been cleaned, fuel injector cleaner, plugs are good, it has plenty of power, as much as it always has. I have nothing, at this point I am riding the R1 FOR the gas mileage and not just for the power.

    Helmet Expiration

    Cracked Frame...

    Travis (chevyFazer) pulled the whole bike apart and welded the frame (hes a metallurgist and a welder) so he is definitely qualified to do welding on aluminum. He sold the bike shortly after and the new owner is still riding it to my knowledge, at least as of the end of 2013 summer. Travis...

    Boom Audio on FZ

    I am not sure that the FZ battery or the Stator can support the demands of any audio system. Based on my observations, after an hour of low highway speeds (50-65mph) with high beams on (dual headlight mod) that the CEL comes on with a Low voltage code of some sort. Other members have had issues...

    Car hit while parked in front of my house

    I am glad you found the (potential) vehicle. I had some kid hit my dads car when I drove it to High school and when I found out who it was (he was on the wrestling team like I was) I made sure the coach knew he was my partner for the week ;) , I was a senior and he was a freshman) I TROLLED...

    What is my '07 trade-in value?

    Dealers almost always shaft you as far as trade in value, like stated, I would try and private party sale. I can safely say that with a private party sale you can expect to get around $2500-$3100 With your mileage, assuming its a clean bike. As far as the spm (smiles per mile) my bike is...

    Have you had your FZ6 stolen, attempted stolen or vandalized?

    I had my bike in a parking deck with the steering locked, and my helmet on a cable lock on the passenger foot peg. I came back to it with my helmet hanging off the side, the bike in neutral (I always leave it in gear), moved 5ft forward (I parked against the line since there were others sharing...
