    Hi from Chicago

    Southwest burbs myself. Just relocated to Lisle. I'd always be up for a ride once I get the bike back out. Scorpio

    Removing FZ6 Graphic from fairing

    I removed all of the decals but the fz6 on my front fairing. As others have said, patience is the key. Used citrus solvent to get it started and to clean up residue. Three years and it's held up fine! Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    Possible recall on 2004 FZ6??

    In my years of scouring the Internet on FZ6 related issues, I've yet to hear of a similar issue. If it were at the recall level in terms of consistency, we'd have heard. How much (degrees, inches) are you actually turning the bars? Even at low speeds, I only turn them marginally. Are the...

    How often do you use your battery tender?

    Cant vote; Tapatalk really needs to add that feature. I use mine any time I have the bike in the garage and won't be rising for a few days (Optimate 3). The pigtail harness is on the battery and is connected to my 12v socket I installed. When I pull in, I simply unplug from the socket and plug...

    exhaust ... choice ....

    Part was (and still is I believe) EYA-70. Below is the fitting guide from Scorpion and it has the part number on top. It says 04-06 on this, but it is really 04-09. http://www.scorpion-exhausts.com/siteadmin/site_images/uploaded_documents/95_01~_eya-70-14.pdf Sent from my iPhone 4 using...

    So, just who should I believe?

    Sealing the slip-ons.

    I tried the permanent route at that joint with my Scorpions, and while I feel it's has done a pretty good job, it's somewhat messy and tough to remove or clean. Originally, I could put my finger on one specific area of the joint and feel intermittent "puffs" of air. Now I can't really feel...

    Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)

    Those are my numbers a well, but I don't suffer from stalling. I've had some pretty weak mileage since purchasing the bike new. Let us know what the dealer says. Mine didn't seem to think it was an issue at all, and without more of the pronounced issues, I didn't push it. Scorp Sent from my...

    So, just who should I believe?

    When hooking the PCV into the computer, the dynojet software reads around 1300 +- 20. On the tach, looking while planted on the seat, reads about 1100 (as the angle you're looking matters.) As posted somewhere else, I also use this program to check http://www.tunelab-world.com/rpmsound.html...

    Are You A Gamer?

    Home built PC gamer as well. I have the Xbox for most sports games, other than that it's collecting dust. PC for BF3, COD, l4d, TF, Mass Effect, etc. The funny thing is that my PC and FZ6 give me the same strong desire to MOD! Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    Looking for Dyno experience in No. IL

    My goal for the summer is to finally get my bike tuned. I've been running a PCV and Autotune for two seasons and don't feel I'm able to get the best map possible. Has anyone had their bike tuned by a shop in/near Northern Illinois? I'm in the SW suburbs of Chi-Town. Thanks in advance...

    Top Sellerie seat in or around Indiana

    I'm in the Chicago suburbs and would let you have a little seat time with my TS. Just as a warning, it is the long version. Pm me if you don't round up a close response. Scorp Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    Did the Air box mod, got pics!

    When you install the Autotune, Dynojet recommends bypassing or removing the AIS as it will give false A/F readings. Whether or not it affects it at all RPM ranges is something I don't know for certain. Scorp Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    My Power Commander V, I HATE it!!

    As per the manual, the temperature setting goes to the green/white wire of the clear 6 pin you connected the PCV to. The optional is the speed connection. That goes to the pink wire of the little white 3 pin near the other connections you made. This allows you to utilize the all gear maps that...

    fuel capacity?

    My last tank (running way rich) was 120 miles, 6 into the reserve. Filled it up: 3.875 gallons. The blue must be faster due to the smaller tank?! Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    Is this a mis(fire)?

    Mostly commuting for me, at least a portion of each tank. And yes, it's running rich a lot as I move maps around. Measurements below should be taken lightly. You have to kind of aim the gun and wiggle it to get a quick average. The shine of the metal really makes this more of a comparison of...

    Is this a mis(fire)?

    I've checked for leaks in the past but can check again. Bike only has about 9K, so I'd be a little disappointed if valves were the issue! Haven't checked the actual block temp on either side as its really just that first header pipe that's cooler, not the timing chain side. As for MPG, best...

    Is this a mis(fire)?

    I've got the Carbtune as well. Great piece of gear! I did sync it again after moving the screw. I reset #1 as close to factory as possible (~220 mmHg) and then used the Carbtune to sync normally. They are about the same tolerances as yours came out to be. The CO might work, but I thought...

    Is this a mis(fire)?

    Thanks for the reply, as always, Scott Definitely not set to run leaner. I did jump the connection to check out CO values before, but both were at 0. But, having accidentally moved the #1 airscrew, now the fact that this one cylinder runs cooler seems more than coincidental. That combined...
