***** sold***************sold*************sold*************************sold***********************sold********* I am selling my 05' FZ6. It has 5200 miles on it. I bought it from the original owner in early 2012 when it had just 2000 miles on it. I replaced fluids and installed new tires...

Just installed Kaoko "Cruise Control". Not really cruise control but a very nice throttle lock. It's the bar end type that uses friction to hold the throttle in an open position. Takes about 5 minutes to install. I decided to go with this brand versus the other bar end throttle locks because...

I've been reading about the throttle tamer and want to install as the throttle snatch on my 05' is really a pain. Just finished reading a number of post, while it looks like the results are mixed I decided to go for it. Then bike only had 2500 miles when I bought it a year ago in great shape...

I have an 05' that I bought 6 months ago with only 2500 miles. I have since put on another 800 miles, and it's runs just fine. I hadn't started it for 2 weeks so I fired it up just to let it run a while and now I have what appears to be steam coming out of the exhaust, even after I let it run...

I think I am going to drill out the baffles, simply can't afford new cans and really just want something slightly louder. I did a search on the forum and got plenty of info on how to do it. I am however wondering if you have to change anything else. My son has a R6 and it seems that with any...

I was reading some posts about S1 versus S2 bikes. I gather that S1's are the 1st generation including the 05'. I bought my 05" 6 months ago with less then 3,000 miles and love it. In any case there were a number of posts suggesting that the S1 bikes had an issue with TPS..What is it? How...

Just installed a fender eliminator kit. My son bought for me through eBay. As I understand it the kit is manufactured by a forum member. I believe it's the cheapest kit on the market at $39.99. It is however make of steel and is really a quality product. My bike looks way better and I don't...

I recently bought my FZ6, I really like the bike. I hadn't ridden in about 10 years and the bikes I had in the past I used for commuting so I had very tall windshields, as a consequence got very little turbulence around the helmet. My fz6 is an 05 and it would appear that there is nothing...

Does anybody have experience with the "Throttle Tamer".. Bought an 05" several months ago and use it for weekend rides in the twisties. Love the bike but when I roll off the throttle and roll back on the bike sort of lurches. In any case the throttle tamer is supposed to cure or mitigate the...

Ordered bar risers and expect them in a few days. In the interim I decided to look at the bike to see how tough a job it might be. Years ago I owned a Pacific Coast (OK stop laughing) and put risers on it. That was pretty straight forward as the handlebars unbolted from the top. Imagine my...

Just bought an 05 with 2000 miles, great condition. Had the fluids changed, tires changed (due to age not wear). In any case I would like to find out about handlebar risers. I'd like the bars higher and back towards me, like to be able to sit up straight, as it is I am a little hunched over...
