Sold! Thanks for looking guys!

Hi Guys, I'm looking at selling my naked FZ6 to make way for an FZ09 in the near future. Asking $3,500 for it. The bike has 5,765mi on it, that may go up very slightly as I still occasionally commute to work. It is an 07, I purchased it in 2010 from a dealership with around 1,800mi on the...

damn that's good! My rate just sucks ass then, haha

The dyna beads are really cheap and very quick to install, maybe try that out and see if it helps to smooth everything out. All you have to do is deflate the tire, remove the valve core, install the beads, reinstall the valve core, and reinflate the tire. Took me 15min total to do both front and...

Damn that's pretty good considering I'm paying almost 5 times more to insure my R1 than the FZ6; and the FZ1 is the same size motor right? Damn full fairings...

No, they are ceramic??? small round beads, that get installed into the tire. They either go through the valve stem or get inserted into the tire during mounting. I've used them for a few hundred miles on my FZ after putting new tires on and they;ve worked great. I did not like the stick on...

I also have the CA led board and smoked lens and it is definitely brighter than stock and looks a lot better, IMO. It is kinda a pain in the butt to mount the board in the stock housing tho. I used the mount they supplied and stiffened it up with a few more screws and secured it with some...

That's exactly why I bought the FZ6, similar engine to an R6 but better position to learn on than a true "sport" bike. I wanted an R1 from the get go, but I wasn't ready for it as a first bike. After riding the R1 for a while I'm glad I didn't get it first and learned on the "relatively" tame-er...

Already upgraded. 2010 R1 and couldn't be happier with it!

Well after a year and a half or riding the FZ, I finally got the bike I really wanted from the start. Picked up a new 2010 this week and loving it so far. Already started the modding process on it as well...:D Brothers Sleepy bulldog Still keeping the FZ for longer...

Wow, it looks like you've really been busy fabbing up parts. I applaud all the effort and custom DIY on this project!! It's looking good so far, definitely a cool exhaust you have going there; what are you thinking for the rear turns, tucking them up underneath? I'm sure it'll be sweet once...

Those look really nice! But for the money there isn't a whole lot of adjustment available, at least from what I can tell by the description and pics. But if you don't plan to change position much, then go for it anyway.

Yes I would say sit a little further back from the tank as well. Scoot your butt up to the edge of the passenger seat ridge and go from there. I rode for over 5hrs two weekends ago and nothing fell asleep, just got a few leg cramps, and I'm 6'1" about 240lb so there plenty crammed onto the...

I've done it twice, running around 6k rpm in first and clutching it up to about 9k rpm, I don't really feel to comfortable with it. I'm about 240lbs and it seems like I have to push it pretty hard to get the front to lift up. But I'm fine never doing it again, just wanted to know that I could...

Man, that double time on Sunday sounds pretty sweet. I work at alot of cement plants and we typically have a schedule like yours but no time and a half OT or double time OT, just straight time. Also we work primarily outdoors or in hot equipment so right about now 44 degrees would be awesome...

As a brand new rider a year ago, I took the course and learned a ton from it. My Dad also took the course a few years ago and recommended it to me which is why I did it in the first place. It was also a place to be able to get the license stamp with little to no stress. Plus the best part is...

I installed the dynabeads this evening. It takes about 15min at most, maybe not even that long. Pop out the valve stems install the beads (1oz front 2oz rear), reinstall valve stems and re-inflate the tires. Only rode about 10 miles so far but I feel no vibrations at all and everything seems...

Yes that's what I'm gonna do. I ordered them this evening.

Yea that is true there's only 0.75oz of weight on the rim now so the other tire could very well have been fine with no weight. I'm going to give those "dynabeads" a shot I think and see how that works out.

That's exactly what i was going to do, was hoping not to have to dismount the whole tire, just pop one side in and slap the weights on. But I guess this is normal procedure so i'll probably just get some black weights or something. I've just never remembered seeing this type of weight on a...
