    Haynes Service Manual FZ6 Fazer 04-08--new in shrink wrap

    I was given two copies of the 04-08 Haynes manual. I have an unopened, hardcover copy, still in shrink wrap. It's yours for $35 on Paypal. I'll include shipping in that price, so long as you're in the lower 48 states.

    Need help to install my new turn signals!!

    So, since my indicators should not be running lights, does this mean I should just connect the indicator lead and the ground lead from the bike to the two leads on the indicators--and just tape over the third lead? By the way, thanks for the help.

    Front brake lever? Bent?

    Actually, Teacher Joe, I teach--AP Language-Comp. I have a tendency when lecturing to transposition rhetorical devices, or really any esoteric technical terms or details--I see it as a kind of advanced spoonerism. Funny, last week I was talking with some kids about aligning innate abilities...

    Front brake lever? Bent?

    True, true. Typing fast. I make at least 20 such errors a day at work. Anyways, now that you've caught me in my mistake, go out to your garage and tell me if my brake lever is bent.

    Need help to install my new turn signals!!

    I never noticed that my fronts were running lights. Yes, it's a faired model. In any case--I apologize for my technical ignorance--is what you're saying that I can simply cover connect the ground and the directional leads and just leave the running lead out? And then I'll have turn signals...

    Front brake lever? Bent?

    I bought an 08 fz6 a month or so ago, and it is now warm enough in Northern California to ride. So, now that i'm on the bike, i notice that the front brake lever is bent in towards the engine. Is this the stock configuration, or did the previous owner bend my brake lever? When I look down...

    Need help to install my new turn signals!!

    Hi, I don't mean to barge in and change the subject, but I've got a similar question: I just bought Rizoma track 77 signals to replace the stock front indicators. I already changed the rear indicators, and followed Boneman's instructions, including buying and installing the aftermarket...

    Anyone remove the big decals on the fairing?

    Can someone who’s taken the large graphic decals off of their front fairing post a few pics? I searched for this and found some threads, but the threads are a couple of years old and the images have been removed. Thanks.

    Leaning the FZ6 and a sense of front washout

    Thanks for the advice--I'll get some new tires, then. So, it sounds like I want Bridgestone BT016's--You say dry months. I don't ride in the rain more than 5 times a year, today being one of them, but if i want to use the BT016's in the rain, it's not like they will have zero traction, is...

    Leaning the FZ6 and a sense of front washout

    I apologize in advance for the vagueness of this question, but I’ve got to ask. I just picked up a 2008 fz6 with 3000 miles. My previous bike was a café racer, a Bonneville with rear sets, low bars, and sticky tires—but despite the upgrades, the fz6 should corner better than the...

    Ricor Intiminators

    I had them on a Bonneville. I agree. They were a huge improvement over stock.
