I was at the International Motorcycle Show in Indianapolis this past weekend and there were three or four vendors showing off their new Lithium batteries (Ballistic, StarkPower, Shorai, etc.). Any experience with these? With the FZ6's low amount of extra amps, I am wondering if you plugged in a...
FZ6's,
I had the opportunity to visity the International Motorcycle Show as it swooped through Indianapolis this past weekend and stumbled across some interesting items that I think you may be interested in. Like many people I came across the Pirelli booth and thought to myself - I dont know...
Ok - so I saw this on ebay yesterday and jumped on it. It looks like a used set of Scorpion Carbon Fiber Exhaust. At 225 I figure that its either a good deal or something I can sell if it doesnt work.

New to the motorcycle touring piece, but have been camping all of my life. I would like to take my first trip sometime next year, but dont want to do it alone. Anyone interested in taking someone under their wing? I realize that attitudes and personalities need to match - thus the reason for...
So I have emailed Givi about this question, but I think I already know the answer from them. No - Givi doesnt have a way to take my generic FZ Monokey mount and make it usable for carying stuff.
All I really want is a place to tie items down to when I dont have the top box on. The plate I...
Starting to look for a new helmet and color options seem to be limited in some brands and amazingly diverse in others - what do you have? Lets see what everyone else likes on here.
The FZ6 is my first bike and have loved it so far, but when I went through my training course I bought a helmet based on price. As it turns out my HJC CL16 combined with a Sena system has been a great purchase, but as I see tons of people out there with other types of helmets I have to wonder...
I may have to travel out to Lincoln, NE during this riding season for work. I would be out there for five months from April to September - anyone know what types of riding is out there?
*SOLD* FS: Yamaha Comfort Seat
***SOLD**** I have a great condition Yamaha Comfort Seat for sale. I used it for half a summer on my 07 before I upgraded my stock seat with the Spencer mod. Before that Paper had it on the bike when I bought it from him. I don't have any pics available at this...
I did my due diligence and searched the forum for this topic, but not a lot of information out there. Has anyone installed Throttlemeister Cruise Control onto a Rizoma handlebar? I have my bike a the mechanic and asked him to install the bar ends for me while is was there, but he called today to...
Hey guys - saw this seat on ebay and thought it might need a good home on here. If I hadnt already done the Spencer mod I would be all over this.

Again - not mine, but always looking for good deals on this sort of thing.
I have a 2007 FZ6 that I took this weekend from Indianapolis, IN to Blue Ridge, GA (about 500 miles) - driving back up tomorrow. I ran into a problem riding down. Due to the weather (temps ranging from 40 to 32 on the way down) I had to buy a heated vest and have not used the grips extensively...
This weekend I was out with a friend doing a quick 4 hour ride. About half way through we pulled over for break. During the ride I had the following going on:
1) Hand warmers on up until 10 minutes before stop.
2) Smartphone plugged in through USB power supply and playing tunes.
3) Bright...
Looks like a nice crisp day for a back country ride. Will be out an about that morning (meet up around 9 or so in Greenwood) doing a nice half day with a few friends. If you want to join send a PM.
I am a big fan of USB power as it is used for almost every electronic device I have. My droid is my phone, gps, music player, and food finder - so on trips I like to have it running. As any of you know that have one of these it would last all of an hour running GPS, Phone, and Music all at once...
I purchased my 07 FZ6 in June of this year with 10500 miles on it - I just went to look at the ODO to check on oil change timing at it is reading 18534 - I have not driven that much nor been to south america on it - whats going on here?
Ok - I have been looking for a new seat, but couldnt fork out the money for a Corbin or Top Sellerie (Saddlery), so I opted to send my seat of to Spencer's in Florida Flash Intro Page
The guy was so prompt in his replies that I immediately felt comfortable with him and the reviews on the site...
Ok - I am big fan of ebay and try to pass along finds to you guys as I come across them. I have recently been looking at seats and ended up sending my extra stock seat off to Spencer's in Florida (will review soon), but I did come across this seat and seller on ebay.

So you read on here, you learn at the course, but nothing really prepares you for that first fall. Luckly all I hurt was my pride. I am getting ready for a ride later this afternoon and I decide that it would be a good idea to wash the bike. I pull out of the garage like I do every other day and...
