As far as I know, it won't throw any codes. I'm going to be finding out along with you, I just ordered mine today as well. My AIS is really loud and annoying.

Yep, made sure the TPS recall had been done before I went on my first FZ trip to Denver back in 2008. So far no stalls today but seeing as it wasn't happening every day I'll wait and see.

+1! What happened? Need details!

Well the filter is finally dry so I'm gonna put it in and see if it fixes the stalling. I also bumped it up a little so its idling in the mid-1200s. While I had everything off I decided to do a little snooping around and find where the annoying noise I've been having is coming from. Well...

Just looked through that link posted, I actually already have the filter out for cleaning, I posted the thread while the K&N stuff was soaking in the filter and it is now drying. Hopefully that was the only problem, it was pretty dirty. I also managed to get quite a few leaves in it...

My idle wanders a bit, it averages around 1100 but will sometimes drop to 1040 and sometime be slightly above 1200. I have around 15,000 miles on it. I know the valve adjustment isn't due yet but they've been getting louder lately and I don't exactly baby the FZ so I was planning on doing it...

So I have had my first ever problem with the FZ6. It has happened 3 times now in the last week. When I am coming to a stop and pull in the clutch while rolling the bike will stall out. At first I thought maybe I had bumped the kill switch or something, but it has happened 2 more times. It...

A full system? I wasn't aware there were any full systems for our bikes, I have only ever seen slipons. You have piqued my interest sir. Off to google I go.

Its a little more expensive, but you can get a replacement kit to change out all of your engine casing bolts from pro-bolt. Engine Bolt Kit - Side Casings - Allen Wrench - Pro-Bolt USA Hardware - Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminum Fasteners for Metric Motorcycles & Harley-Davidson If you...

I have never once gotten 60 MPG. I usually average around 43-45 with a mix of highway and city, putting about three hundred miles a week on it. Of course I stay in the powerband and am liberal with the throttle, I find 43 quite acceptable:Flash: If I am doing all highway I can hit 50 MPG, if...

Something I see all the time here in NM where we don't have helmet laws and it always confounds me...people riding around completely gearless, but with a helmet on the seat/helmet lock behind them! Why anyone would not wear their gear when they even have it with them I will never understand.

I have Pilot Power 2CTs right now but will be replacing them soon. Even with the dual compound all my commuting has flattened the center. I'm looking to try the new Metzeler M5 Interact.

I got some bikemaster turn signals to install by my plate and was surprised how bright they were for incandescent bulbs...however I was also surprised when one of them burnt out the next day.:( I ordered a couple LED replacement bulbs online (the bulb size is not sold ANYWHERE, not even the...

They just make your signals flash at the normal rate. If you have a no load flasher relay you don't need them. Or you could just keep them flashing fast, some people like it. I have the same thing, although it isn't really universal since it is made to fit the FZ6, and I also added some extra...

Some of the ones out there have steel teeth for the durability but aluminum centers to save weight. I think Vortex makes them.

Like some others in here, the FZ6 was my first bike after learning for a few days on a Nighthawk 250. I just took it slow getting used to it, and yes I stalled it a lot the first week. I actually wanted to get something smaller so I wouldn't kill myself, but this was back in 2007 and the new...

I thought I saw the cup bikes with the damper mounted up top still. It is a good spot to make a camera mount, I saw a post somewhere where they made a simple one out of some PVC pipe. Personally I am going the Bertmoog way with my triple because I don't video my rides and find the stubs ugly...

Looks good. I am still waiting to see one that mounts somewhere besides the handlebar clamp though. I would think Wolfman would have one since he also has clipons (the reason I don't want one to use the handlebar clamp since the risers won't be there along with the clipons). I have seen some...

A speedohealer corrects the speedometer when you make gearing changes, or you can just fix the stock optimistic speedometer.

A couple people have mounted stubby R6 exhausts that mount low but it leaves a big ugly hole under the seat where the cans used to be. If you were handy you could probably make a fiberglass piece to replace the round rubber piece that normally surrounds the exhaust with a flat piece that would...
