If I were that rider out in front I would have dragged the guy out of his car and beat the living piss out him. What a complete and utter moron.

The mpg difference between 40 in 6th and 40 in 4th is not a significant value. RPM does not translate 1:1 into throttle (and therefore gas volume). You could be driving the same speed in either 4th or 6th and your throttle be in (relatively) the same place. You are likely only gaining about 1...

Surely it is. There are few bikes under 1000cc that can go 168mph. FZ's are definitely not one of them.

You should definitely post some pics of your headlight assembly when you get it finished. I'm also thinking naked. The fizzers I've seen naked look pretty good.

Love the naked look especially on the Wavex machine. I never thought about selling the fairing on ebay to fund a naked mod! :rockon:

these bikes are sick! they look so aggressive. i really love the buell's, i thought about getting a buell before deciding on the fz6. very appreciated thread, wavex. :rockon:

Oz, do you remember where you got that package?

I manage a door shop so I have access to a serious compressor and tank but i dont really wanna spend the money to buy a tool i can only use at work. we have an airtool, more like a drill, that accepts 3/8" bits. One of my guys has an electric angle grinder but Im with you, for that application...

that looks freakin' sweet!

ok, im guessing you would use some kind of compound and a polishing wheel, cloth of some sort? any way to do it cheaply and in and around so many curves and nooks? btw, fred, thank you for the thread on the headlight mod and the links to the pin diagram and all. i employed it for use on my...

does anybody know the in's and out's of metal polishing, i.e. materials, equipment, technique? wrightme43 ? bmccrary?

that's why i said in my initial post that i clearcoated it. i recently read something about applying the solvent, that would have made it a lot easier! i didnt think it would work that well on the powder coating, plus, what would do to the tire if some got on it? oh well, next fz6 i get...

I dont have any way to back this but i could have sworn i read somewhere that they were aluminum alloy. At any rate, I'm fairly sure that they are the same wheel as on the R6. On all the websites i looked at, the only thing it says is "lightweight, r6 type wheel". Thank you for the...

you must post pictures when you complete.

I was looking at some circa 2004 models the other day and I thought wow! That silver really pops. I love the flat black on my 07 but its just too much black. For one thing, there's no contrast between the tires and the rims, it's one black blob. So i thought I would borrow from the 04's a...

you should definitely change your oil and filter as soon as possible. it takes maybe 10 minutes. your filter at this point is likely filled up metal shavings. the rest of the "600 mile service" is outlined in your manual and is also something you can do... check chain slack, alignment, lubes...

Damnitsjeff, how far off was the color? ive been trying to paint my hugger (three colors so far all wrong - duplicolor) and it seems to me that if it didnt match exactly, it might not be too bad for the hugger, since it is not adjacent to any other painted part.

krid, i noticed you said all "non us spec" but youre from MO and your bike looks just like mine so is it a "us spec" bike?

it seems like nobody ever replies to or answers the relevant questions. does anybody know what a CO adjustment is?
