    Basic Bike Knowledge

    I use the Honda Pro chain lube like that too. I lube every 300 or so miles. Then give a quick wipe with an old dirty rag to get the excess. If I'm out for a 300+ mile day then I just hit it when I get home. For cleaning I use some Purple Power cleaner, a pretty decent degreaser, spray it down...

    FZ6 Steering Head Bearing Replacement

    Looks like Final Impact and I are on the same page with inner race removal. Sometimes I get them to slide off after cracking the race. Only once I had to make another cut on on the other side of the race and crack it again to break it in half to get it off.. But that was a really really...

    FZ6 Steering Head Bearing Replacement

    A helpful solution to the lower race that needs to be removed from the stem. I regularily change press in wheel bearings on small cars. The inner race usually gets stuck on the spindle. much like the lower race is stuck on the steering stem. I have a die grinder with a cut off wheel...

    Tire Width??? Pics requested!

    Once seated to the wheel and filled with some air i bet the PR4 expands out and is the right width. Could be simple as the pr4 you have pictured there was on the bottom of pile of tires and got a little compressed.

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    Well said! I do the same thing. For people that dont know much, I say sport bike. For other riders I say its a sport tourer, or standard. I love the "Is it a Crotch Rocket?" question... Then I respond with a quick and assertive NO

    Legal/Title Question

    IDK about florida, but in WI I would contact the State DOT. My bets are that that the dealer probably didnt do anything wrong, (though they could have). So long as the dealer turned in the title to the state with the title transfer form and registration form, its in the states hands now.

    Are you a Fatty?

    UNFORTUNATELY I am not a fatty... Sure wish I was though! There are some great races here in Wisconsin and some awesome fat trails! Its awesome to hear from some fellow mtn bikers on this forum. Here's my winter retreat. Its a bit of a drive, but well worth the fun! Ray's Mtn Bike Park...

    Thinking About Getting A FZ6

    To me you sound kind of like and FZ6 kind of guy, looking for something sporty, but still able to log some major mileage, and dislikes the ergos of a full on sport bike. I've had mine for 2 seasons now, and log between 10 and 12,000 miles per season. I love the bike. Each year I've taken some...

    The new 300cc bikes now available.

    I definitely couldnt give up the fz6 for touring/street riding. The power there is definitely needed (or wanted... but then again i have a hard time distinguishing between needs and wants, Lol). On occasion i ride my gf's GS500, I just hate it on the highway, just not enough power. I couldnt...

    The new 300cc bikes now available.

    I say YE to that! A friend and I alway talked about how fun it would be if we had an available track near by to own a couple of 250cc bikes to go race around with. I liked the idea of a lower power bike to play on a track with. A person would really have to learn how to be efficient in...

    Visor down - FZ pile up; ouch

    That riding situation alway makes me a bit nervous. Riding directly into the sun like that really impairs peoples ability to see motorcycles (and other cars for that matter), Although this crash was a result of the motorcyclist not seeing and/or paying attention to what was in front of him. I...

    Almost got my beauty stolen (Help with repairs)

    Sorry about the near theft! That situation sucks! OEM seems to be the way to go for handlebars. You can do Fz1 bars with less rake back and no rise, or fz6r bar with less rake back and same rize as our fz6, or standard Fz6 bars. The Fz1 bars are cheap. I think they were $40 from the...

    Note to self..

    I believe it was about 15F this day! Though really it was only that cold from 10,000- 14,000 ft. Down below that in Colorado Springs it was clost to 65F I drove into the snow bank for a good photo! Picture was @ Pikes Peak

    I'm interested. Tell me more about it! So is there a certain gps app that you run with it? or just like the Google maps app?
