I did a search and didn't come up with an answer. Are any of you aware of a up-graded stator or charging system for the 06 FZ6. I know it wasn't intended for a cruzer but this winter i could drain the battery on the way to work running the heated gear along with the running lights i put on. I...

I ride around 500 miles a week and figure a bad day riding is better than a good day driving the truck.i try to avoid riding when there might be snow but have got caught a couple of times with the white stuff. to say the least it gets your full attention. the one thing i like about the weather...
