    Well, after three great years and 10,000 miles, I've sold my FZ6. Took a new job in the Chicago area and just didn't feel like screwing around with a bike at an apartment or the crazy Illinois drivers. The FZ6 was an awesome first bike and I loved every minute of riding it. Furthermore I just...

    Don't Tust the Gas Pump Auto-Stops!

    General word of advice- fill your gas tank by hand, don't trust the auto-stops on the gas pumps. I was filling my baby up yesterday. Sometimes I do it by hand, other times I've clicked it on until it stops and then finish it off. This time I clicked it on the medium setting and let it go. I...

    Backup Fuse?

    Anyone know what the "Backup" fuse is for on the FZ6? I'm not talking about the spares, this one is in the main line, labeled "10A Backup". I'm looking for a ignition switched power source to tap into and ran across it when poking around in the fuse block.

    Dealers can be so closed minded!

    So with 700 miles on it I took my FZ6 to the dealer to have the initial check-up performed. I had changed the oil myself at 150 miles with regular Rotella 15w-40 and a pureone filter so I bought the same stuff again and figured I'd just let them do it this time around. I left it in the tank bag...
