I recently came off my bike. Pretty much shocked myself when the pegs started scraping the ground and as a result I let it drop... Not really alot of damage to the bike but the foot rest on the left side was a little damaged.
So it's got me thinking if anyone has replaced there front foot rests...
Should have said in the original post. It's a naked fz6 which is coming up to 35k miles now. From time to time might see an R1 I'd like to try an keep up with or some high performance car :) I'm a pretty big guy 5'9 but I carry alot of weight ;) which might help me deal with the wind a little...
I do alot of motorway riding, to and from work. I've reached 135mph top speed. Bike feels like it's defiantly capable of going alot faster. I'm only really ripping it with an empty motorway. Just get yourself down close to the tank butt back and grip the tank with your knees.
I use throat mics all the time at work. They have very clear sound when used with our ptt radios so I guess they would be good for use on a motorbike, I've never tried.
I've used a Full injector cleaner a couple of times on my fz6. Hasn't caused any problems and I always feel the bike benefits from it. Wouldn't bother in a low mileage bike but mines done just over 30,000 miles now.
Recently I've been having to use my bike fairly early in the morning.. 5/6am. It's pretty cold and although Im wearing decent gear my finger tips are freezing after about 20 minutes if riding. I have hot grips on my bike but that's generally good for the palms of my hands. So I've been looking...
I've had my fz6 now for about 3 months now and after the first month I noticed it was stalling at low speeds or sudden breaking, so I did some reading on here and tried a couple of things. First was the idle speed which for me was pointless because the engine always seemed to rev between 1200...
Hi, I have an fz6 without a centre stand im wanting to lift the back either with a paddock dock or by fitting a centre stand. Just Want to know if it's possible to put lifting bobbings on to the swing arm on an 05 fz6 if not how easy is it to get ahold of a centre stand kit, or a good paddock...
I passed my das a little over a month ago now and got a fz6 as my first bike. 2005 naked. It's a great bike and I use it to commute to work ( about 50miles round trip ) one if the reasons I got it was the instructors recommended it and when I was hunting around it felt the most comfortable. I'm...
My fz6 is my first bike. Second hand 2005 naked. Main reasons I brought it was to really learn how to ride in traffic and I wanted something that I could ride long distances, to and from work. Something that I could do the maintenance on myself and when I was learning to ride a bike the...
