    does an oil filter fit the same S1 and S2?

    You may not have been trying to but you kind of did get one of the best. Mann and Mahle are the OEM suppliers for VW/Audi, BMW, Mercedes and a few others, usually cost a pretty penny next to wix, purolator and fram. Didn't know they had moved into the motorcycle buisiness. Quality is a bit above...

    Hope evryone is ok!

    Holy crap, that may be the worst tangled mess of a bike I've ever seen. Hope they pull through article thankfully didn't say anything about fatalities.

    Going from '04 to '06 look, powdercoat. Experience?

    If you're serious about it some things to consider: 1 it will cost more than it would to simply get an 06 (after selling yours) 2 You can expect a massive pita removing and re installing the whole motor and frame 3 you will be without an fz6 for possibly weeks on this project But if your the...

    Aliens

    You'd think if you want to be taken seriously as a "scientist" you'd try not to look like a wild eyed loony. That said I do believe in aliens as has been said mathematically speaking if we are the only intelligent life in the universe it would be shameful waste of space. I highly doubt however...

    This forum makes you mod!!

    Actually I agree this forum makes you want to mod really bad. At first I was looking for some ideas on a streetfighter conversion for my bike, found this site and now I have a list including cans, levers, bars, rearsets, mirrors, brake lines, signals, fender eliminator and more. I would add to...

    handelbar vibration

    I know of a few people that have mixed silicone and lead shot to fill the bars with to reduce vibes, seems to work pretty well. Apart from that you can look into different gloves, grips, bar ends etc. this is something of a common complaint on this bike and there are as many solutions as riders...

    Where to Find Inexpensive Footpegs?

    Not much available for passenger pegs, may be best to get the stockers powder coated, if you can wait without them for a while, many shops can do it for much cheaper if you are willing to wait until they have a large order to fill in the color you want, otherwise it usually isn't much for small...

    Brake Lines recommendations

    IIRC the Galfers do not follow stock, that said is there any particular reason you want them to? My vote would be to get lines made locally at a reputable facility but that's due to cost and having a person to talk to as opposed to a catalog to look through, helps to make sure you get exactly...

    Wanna mod but......

    Personally I answered broke, but the bike is also my dd seeing how it's practically bulletproof compared to my car and gas isn't cheap, that said when I have the funds I certainly like to change her up a bit she already does everything great so I really just like to make her mine.

    Rear wheel extension mod?

    If it's your cup of tea go for it, personally I don't like them except on lowered and loud drag bikes, but everyone has their own aesthetic that they like. As far as lowering resale value, it will, but not necessarily due to the racing/stunting image, having been a stunter in a past life I can...

    Do any FZ6 owners also own a cruiser?

    It's amazing how well a goldwing can keep up in the curves if it isn't the typical yuppie behind the bars, been pretty impressed with them. also HD's aren't too bad if the rider has a little skill and courage, dad used to keep up with me when I was riding at 6-7/10 in the hills but he was a fire...

    How old were you when you first rode pillion?

    I was about 9 when my dad let me ride on the back of his Gl1500 actually used it as a reward for doing chores since I would basically kill to get a ride on that thing, already had outgrown my PW50 and PW80 and was just about to big for my KX60 at the time, but we used to ride as a family my...

    Water temperature light on dashboard

    As I have an 06 I have to measure by bars, but I can tell you that a nice easy ride around the block after some spirited riding can really help with the coolant temp issue as can letting it idle for a couple minutes in the driveway the fan should come on to move air over the rad, as mentioned...
