Hi everybody. I need some help. I am at a hotel in vegas and my bike overheated. I don't have my laptop with me and search doesn't work on my phone for some reason. I have coolant in the overflow tank. The fan doesn't run with the key on but spins freely by hand switch off. It was too hot to...
I am visiting family in san diego and gave Motogiro a shout out.He and his wife met me and gave me a first class tour of their town. We ate great tacos then drove around for a nice guided lap around town. We stopped in little Italy, had amazing gelato then drooled all over a Ducati dealership...
Greetings forum members. My new generator blew up. It is a Kipor :Flip: 2500 watt gas powered chineese unit. I bought it 1 year 5 months ago and it is not under warranty. The company stopped making the model and is now going to start a new line. They want 1100$ for the inverter that appears to...
Hey everybody, I put the fz1 bars on my 6 yesterday. I got em thru partshark for 38 bucks to my door. What a HUGE improvement it made. I got them to straighten out my wrists and stop a numb right hand. That worked great, no cramp or sleeping hand anymore. The bars changed the bikes feel. I can...
Greetings forum members. I have an 08 fz with 8k miles on it. I have 2 bros cans on it and all else is stock. I have had a strange problem with warm starts.That is to say after a cold start if I ride 5 miles and shut down it will have the problem. Occasionally when warm the starter spins but...
Howdy all. I am in Paonia Colorado to ride colorado 141 to Gateway and the Black Canyon to Gunnison and guess what?????? SNOW!!! Oh well, I can use some downtime. I left LA and headed to Sedona Arizona and rode Oak Creek Canyon. From there up to Lees Ferry and on to Zion National Park. Great...

Hey everybody, just wanted to say happy holidays to you one and all. I joined this forum this summer the day after I bought my FZ. This is a great site with awesome people. Thanks for letting me be a part. I really like how we look after our members when they need something. Way to go people.

I bought a Tourmaster Intake 2 jacket when I picked up my FZ6.I got it for 130$ U.S. bucks. It is 3 coats in one. The outer layer is a mesh jacket with armour and good pockets. I like the exterior pocket for easy acess for toll money etc. The second layer is a wind and rain proof jacket that...
Hello all, just bought a light weight cover for my bike. Made by trackside, the medium size fits like a glove on the FZ and folds into a small pouch that makes it easy to carry. Cycle gear has them on sale for 29 bucks and I think it is a great deal. I'll use it for a while and see about...
Does anybody have a good method for straping down the front end? I have a toyhauler trailer that the fz will live in. I think the straps will ride on the fairing. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Hello all, I have an 09 FZ6 that I just got. I have 850 miles on it, changed the oil, punched 1/2 inch holes in the baffles and am keeping the revs below 8400. I am having trouble with throttle slap. It can unload the suspension
hard when opening the throttle. I searched the forum and found...
Wow, what a nice bike. Just got it yesterday and rode 150 miles. Great manners and a very nimble machine. The suspension is amazing and the brakes grab good. I am very happy to be an FZ owner today. Gotta break it in so I'll just have to wait for some serious RPM. Love this forum thing and all...
