    FZ1 guages work on FZ6?

    Anyone know if a 2007 FZ1 guage (Speedo) work on a 2007 FZ6? I need one for my 2007 and find several FZ1's on ebay but no FZ6. I guess that's because more FZ1's wreck. lol

    Error Code 30

    The lean angle switch was tie wrapped and before I realized what it was I had moved it. I put it back up but still get the message. I unplugged the spark plug wires one at a time until there was no change in the motor and that was number one.

    New to FZ6 from Cruisers

    I picked one up and really enjoy it. I like my cruiser too and my sport tourer. The FZ6 is light and easy to handle, stable at speed, and a real hoot to wind it up and let it go. You will enjoy it. Good choice.
