One owner bike. Asking $4300 I have babied this thing to death. This bike has no annoying mods that take away from the bike. The bike has 12K miles which is nothing for a well taken care of machine. I use this bike mainly for trips and commuting. Essentially I just want more of a cruiser bike...

WIthin the last 2 days my fz6 developed a new problem. Under hard acceleration regardless of gear it feels like my clutch lets go around 12K. When I hit the meat of the powerband the engine just redlines and I loose thrust. Im quick to lift the throttle and I dont seem to have any other...

Im seriously considering a change of pace. Nothing wrong with the FZ6. Ill never have a bike that has this month value. Im thinking something a little bigger, comfortable and less sportbike. I have been eying the BMS GS and triumph for awhile now. I have decided that it will probably be the...

Hey guys, Just got the bike out for spring and finished my luggage system. It might look simple but a lot of thought and work went in to it. Here where my goals: 1. Use my existing pelican luggage hardcases. 2. Have no sign of system on bike when not in use. 3. Quick mount and dismount. Takes...

I plan on doing a lot more traveling on my bike this year. I want to extend my handlebars back and up 2". Right now I have back and up 1". Does anyone know of a kit to extend the throttle, brake, and clutch lines? Is it easy to find these pieces? Thanks Clay

I have about 7500 miles on my original tires and am about to get them replaced. Im guessing it will be the Michelin Road Pilots. Besides just going to the dealer and getting it done do I have any other options? What is usually the most cost affective route? Thanks, Clay

I have a noise thats definetely coming from the front tire area. It is dependant on speed and the angle of the bike on say a turn. At low speeds it is barely noticeable. On the highway it is very pronounced. I can get it to completely go away when I have zero lean or sideload. Once I go in to a...

Im fairly new to riding. Have about a year under my belt and 6K on my FZ6. I know the road conditions, other drivers, and my decisions are the main concern while riding. One other thing I try to pay attention to is how the bike is doing mechanically. I worry that a mechanical failure could...

Does anyone know if a motorcycle such as a FZ6 would be harder for a cop to clock with his laser or radar gun? The more traveling I do the more I worry about a ticket that would screw me over. I don't drive like a deush but I cruise in the 80-90's when the conditions are right. Does anyone know...

Just finished 1100 mile journey. Need some answers on windshield!!! I just finished riding from minnesota to northern michigan and back. I currently have the givi screen. The one that is a little taller than stock. I am starting to think I need a taller one for trips. I just got worked by bugs...

Hey guys, Short notice but thinking of taking off feom the woodburry area and working my way up to duluth. id Also interested in joining a group going somewhere else instead. Clay

I hate the front turn signals/running lights. I need a good suggestion for a replacement. I still want running light capability and don't want the fast blink associated with LED's? Any ideas? I ordered some flush mount LED's and of course they screwed up my blink rate and can't work as running...

I am fairly new to riding. Got my fz6 month ago. I would like to ride with my brights on all the time at night. Does it annoy other drivers like a regular vehicle with brights? Is it illegal. Does anyone else always ride with brights? Clay

Go cruise throttle assist is a great way to get manual cruise control. It saved me on my trip to chicago this weekend. Its cheap andsimple to use. No more numb cramped hands. I think i bought it at "the cycle guys" for 19.95.

I bought my bike 2 weeks ago with 200 miles. Its an 2009. The first day riding I heard the cam chain. It was unmistakable. I thought it was something bad in the valvetrain until I looked on this forum. The thing is that it will only do it after its been thoroughly warmed up. It also won't do it...
