Been awhile since I've been on. Hope you're all well. I've poured through some of the stickies on the topic, but I wanted to solicit some thoughts on my current charging situation. FYI, I have a PCV and autotune on there, as well as BD-43s headlight mod. Mine is an '09, had since new...

PM me if anyone is in Chicago or the suburbs and want to ride. Off for the summer so I have plenty of time...

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...

So, I recently changed the oil and noticed some smell of gas when I was recycling the old. Put new oil in, slight gas smell (maybe burnt) from the crankcase now as well. Could simply be the new map I loaded which needs to be leaned out a little. However, while looking around at what may be the...

Okay, So I am in the process of finalizing my SHAD rack install and want to clean it up a little bit in terms of the wiring. While I got the turn signals mounted and working, I basically butchered them when adding the extensions. The result is a completely unstable and shabby looking wire...

Hi all, My my belated birthday present just arrived from France, and I could use a little help determining if it is correct. I ordered a "long" TS seat for my 09 Fz6. The one that arrived seems to be either a "short" or "regular" seat. Could anyone mimic the measurement in the picture...

Looking into getting a Shad 50 Top Case as well as some side cases. I was wondering if anyone here has either/both the top rack and side rack combined with SCORPION exhaust. Just want to make sure they will fit before ordering. I tried emailing the company without much luck. Thanks for the...

Looking for a little insight as I'm about to order a TS seat for my belated birthday. I think I've settled on materials, etc. but I'm struggling with the seat shape. The long option detracts about 3cm from the pillion section to give the rider a little more room. On the stock, Im against the...

I'm in D.C. This week chaperoning a student trip and spotted this red Fz6. Made me yearn for home and my Fz6. Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

First, how many of us are there? Trying to see if we have a decent knowledge center on the forum. :) Second, what are your voltages in the Throttle Calibration screen? And does that voltage jump around a little at idle? Mine is locked when the bike is just on, but running at idle It bounces...

Fz6 heading southbound on I-55 near Kankakee river around 2:45 today. Anyone we know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...and then cry. I'll try not to make this long winded, but it is about par for the course lately. I decided to go for the Fz1 bar swap. All went fine (a little tedious fitting the throttle cables into the Rizoma grip) until the VERY LAST bolt on the handle bar clamp. For whatever reason...

Random question for you experienced mechanics: The first year I had my bike, I bought a carb tune and synced the carbs even though I only had 2000 on the clock. In my mechanical infancy, I may have slightly moved the number 1 screw. I moved it back as best I could to the spec in the manual...

Too often we are quick to point out the bad and not the good, myself included. So I feel compelled to let everyone know that I felt treated as a valued customer and feel like they went above and beyond. I had decided to go the FZ1 bar route and instead of reusing stock grips, decided to...

Seller on eBay sent me the wrong ones and already shipped a replacement. Said I can give these away, so they are free with shipping. These are Blue rim stripes, NON-reflective. I wanted the reflective ones. They are from therimstripe on eBay, 17" and are 7mm thick. normally 14.99. PM me...

Anyone up for a tide over the next few weeks? Was thinking of leaving from Chicago and heading north. I'm in Darien, southwest burbs. Lmk. Scorp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, Anyone out there in the suburban area of Chi town? I live in Darien and was looking to see if anyone wanted to meet up to let me listen to their Fz6. Here's the deal: My 2009 fz6. Almost 5K on the odo. Since I can remember, I have had what is to me,a horrible rattling/whirring noise...

Hey gang, Hooked up a PCV and autotune the other day. First test ride went fine. Uploaded new firmware, map, etc. then went for a 15 minute ride to my parents place. Was there for lunch, then when I left, it started, but at the first stop sign, it died. Fired back up, headed for home. It...

Ignore Disregard. Most likely my dumbest post to date. :)

Curious if bike is running too lean and risking problems. I've had minor bubbling or popping on decel (with Scorpions), bluing on the headers, and seems to be running hotter on engine temp. But then again, when you start looking for symptoms...:) So I pulled #4 and #3 plugs to check as a quick...
