    Do you use your FZ6 mainly for commuting or pleasure?

    I got it for commuting everyday throughout the year when I started a new job in a city centre last summer because: - the cheapest car park I can find in that city centre is £9/day, whereas bike parking is free (for the forseeable future, but UK riders note the developments in London with...

    Dissaponted in the details

    And on a related note, installing my Devil cans has taken away the Yamaha undertray, so all kinds of road crud this winter has got up into and seized my seat locking mechanism, situated on the subframe right above them. Bent my ignition key out of shape in the lock trying to force it. Won't...

    Well, I think I have some explaining to do..........

    For Bryan Me too and got myself one of these recently: http://www.skagen.co.uk/index.php?SCREEN=scrListProductItem&nProdID=3979&nCategoryID=34 Very thin and lightweight. Don't know if it's your style, though, not very engineer?

    devil or scorpion?

    I went for the Devils and can recommend them absolutely for the looks (see left) and fantastic sound. However...got to admit the db killers needed a rivet popping to get them out, are v.tight to get back in and don't come with a securing bolt & nut (had to get one made up).

    hello fellow bikers

    "An MOT test is primarily a road safety measure introduced by the Ministry of Transport as a means of ensuring that all vehicles on the road, which are over 3 years old, are road worthy, properly maintained and meet the minimum safety and environmental standards. If you have a vehicle that is...

    2009 Budget Nakeds Group Test

    Just read this review in today's MCN. XJ6 came 2nd to the Gladius because the Suzuki performed better, but they knocked the FZ6 in passing because it's harder, faster and buzzier than the XJ6. So, in my book, a FZ6 beats a Gladius.

    Frame sliders with lower Fairing?

    That's what my dealer did for me. I think it looks great:

    A practical one... (12V socket)

    I agree. I got my dealer to wire me in one - my socket is located into the plastic panel just under the seat on the LHS - I use mine to power my heated vest. Ed: I found a pic:

    LED voltmeter

    If this is an ignorant question, I apologise in advance: - what's the problem if the voltage drops below 12v? I ask because I've got problems - running all these at the same time: - rhs headlight mod - heated jacket - heated grips - GPS mount My heated grips have dropped to about 25%...

    The snow is coming

    Falling steadily this evening as I type here in north east leicestershire. And I've got Wednesday/Thursday off work, was planning on taking my bike on a longish trip, down south through some nice countryside to Wiltshire. :(

    Watt check through battery tender jr?

    Doc Don't know if this will help in your overall plans, but I've overdone the electrical accessories, I think - see my post at the end of: http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/12181-need-more-power-electrical-power.html

    Have your wife/significant-other asked you to….

    I've taken a fair bit of flak from my other half over the years for riding bikes. No-one in my extended family is into/has had a bike, so every time I have an 'off', whether on the track or the road, it's been a chorus of "oh, well, that's you giving up the bike, then." The more I hear that...

    need more power...electrical power

    Seems like I spoke too soon. Having now had the headlight mod done, I find that my heated grips run up to only about 25% heat of what they did before. Switching off my heated vest does make a difference - grips then run up to about 50% of what they were, pre-headlight mod. I guess I've hit...

    Hi. Please elaborate on the 'round thing' - I've got the same problem.

    need more power...electrical power

    Perhaps you don't need to worry. I'm not at all technical - my dealer does most of my mods - but off my standard electrics, I run without problems: OE heated grips BMW heated vest headlight mod (the simpler, right hand dual beam version) Tom Tom Rider GPS Often all at the same time.
