Looks like you guys all had a great time! What an awesome trip to do :thumbup:

Took a couple of better photos of my FZ6 yesterday :D

my thoughts are with anyone with families & friends in Christcurch. Such devastating news :(

Been trying to get updates on this all day. I've heard that at least the swan valley fire was deliberately lit, sounds about right that on a day when they have a severe wind warning that the arsonists come out :( I also have friends in that area so i hope they are all ok. Just read this as...

This cyclone looks so incredibly bad :( Been keeping updated on it all day, just seems to get worse. Words could not describe how I would feel if i lived in its path. My thoughts are with those affected!

I got the Motul 5100 & ended up getting the stock filter, will look at buying some other filters off the net for the next service :D

well its done :thumbup: Was not hard at all, worst part was undoing the bolt to drain the oil.. was on pretty tight! other than that I had no problems, took a while though (bout an hour and a half :eek:) because I was double checking everything I was doing. Glad to have accomplished...

thanks for that! I'm only in Butler so will make my way to north city motorcycles to get oil :D Since I want to do it today, might just put up with whatever price the K&N filters are here and order over the net for next time :thumbup:

thanks all for the advice :thumbup: I know one person who rides bikes, he has often offered to help me when it comes to things like this but when the time comes for me to ask him he is always busy or has stuff to do. I have come to the conclusion that Ill just have to learn myself! I found...

Thanks for the offer:thumbup: Could end up being quite helpful in the future :D

thanks for the quick reply! yeh it looks simple enough, and I dont really wanna pay someone $200+ if I can do it myself. Will update on how I go :thumbup: gonna give it a go tomorrow :D

My bike is due for a service & I thought why not try and do the oil & oil filter change myself. Only thing is i'm not mechanically minded at all, but I can generally work things out. I read the "how to change your oil" thread in the how to section & it seems pretty simple. Would it be a good...

I have been nicknamed bikey mole at work :rof: I wish they could think of something better than that though.

Good to know I made the right decision then :D Actually many members of my family who think its irresponsible of me to ride bikes have already commented on how nice the FZ6 is, my dad even sat on it, then wanted to turn it on to hear how it sounded.. might have another bike rider in the making!

Yep i'm on PSB but never made the effort to go on the rides, maybe I will now if I can get someone to shadow me all the way from where I live lol (far northern suburbs). Anyway my bike is booked in at the pits next Monday, so should be all good to go on the roads this time next week :D

Two wheels for me :) Bought every issue since my first lesson in Dec 09! TBH I've never even picked up any of the other mags :eek:

yeh a few people think i'm a little stupid buying a bigger bike earlier (actually most think i'm stupid for riding bikes in the first place lol). I might have taken her for a ride round the block last night, I couldn't help myself! And it was awesome, why didn't I do this sooner??

hey I'm new here :D This is my 06 FZ6S :thumbup: Currently unlicensed, so planning a trip to the pits in the next week or two. Then hopefully will be out and about - although still with L plates for the next two months :(

ah k, yep I know the area! I work in Muchea :)

Thanks :) yep just bought my FZ6 yesterday! where in Perth are you?
