Recently moved back to South Florida from Central Illinois. Loving the riding weather. Took 2007 FZ6 to A1A and rode from Pompano up to Delray beach Saturday morning. Once on A1A pleasant 30 to 35 MPH between the intercostal and the beach.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I left it on the charger over night and when I took it off it measured 13 even. Couple hours later it was 12.86 and now after another 24 hours or so it's 12.83. Haven't put it back in the bike yet as it's cold here again. Thinking based on your comments that it...

Bought a new battery toward the middle of last season. Live in Central Illinois and so parked the bike October through now starting it every now and then. I rode last Saturday for a couple of hours. I turned the bike off to open the garage door when I got back from my ride and it wouldn't...

Installing a power outlet with relay and need to tap into switched power. Suggestions of where to tap in? Looking under the tank there are all kinds of wires but they all look the same to this guy. Thanks for any suggestions.

I get allot of compliments on the sounds of my Scorpians. I like the look too with the ovals and the carbon fiber.

So I know I'll sound like a wuss here but....I love the look of those bikes but what about the wind? My FZ6 has the Puig screen which is taller than stock and I still feel like I catch allot of wind and bugs. How are you not blown away and covered with bugs with no fairing or wind screen at...

I have an 07 FZ6. I was behind someone at a stop light and noticed in my reflection that my head lights were flickering as I revved my engine. The previous owner installed a BD43 Dual Low Beam Headlight mod. The (low filament?) on the high beam side was the one flickering. I could tap on it...

Hey man, I went to William Blount. Welcome!

Agreed, I bought these as well and rode for the first time with them yesteday. Love the feel and appears that stiching and materials will last. I had a knockoff pair of Built's last year and the velcro strap came off. Also weren't as comfortable as the Alpinestars.

Another problem is the Frame Sliders. The fairings cover those holes. I'll eventually drill a hole through the fairings to mount. Don't like not having frame sliders.

The front is not LED. They are regular bulbs..

I installed the Powerbronze lowers last year and absolutely love them. Plenty of sticker kits to dress them up to. Can't beat 300$.

Appreciate any help here. Last year I installed an LED tail light with integrated turn signals. I love it. I also changed out the front stem mounted signals for flush mounted LEDs. The flush mounted fronts were not bright enough so I found some bulb style signals which mount on my...

Are the expensive helmets like Shoei and Arai worth it? I'm guessing that safety is fairly similar between DOT or Snell approved helmets. Is it the looks or are they significantly more comfortable? Wondering what justifies the huge difference in price compared to a Bell or even a Built. I paid...

So work finally changed from blackberry to iPhone. Since we have unlimited data I can listen to pandora when I ride which will be great once the weather improves. I plan on using a Ram Mount to attach but wondering what is the best way to listen. Plug in with a long earbud cord or some kind of...

I bought my bike on Craigslist and still search it regularly looking for deals on gear ( looking for used quality summer gloves right now). Anyway I noticed a blue 2005 FZ6S for sale and so thought I'd post in case anyone is in that market. I don't know anything about the bike other than what...

Being on my bike makes me feel free and uninhibited. No job title, no issues, just wind and RPMs. Therefore I tend to be really happy and inclined to wave at anyone on any type of motorcycle. I've told myself that if I wave to someone and they don't wave back its on them. Unfortunately I...

Everyone should start off with wheelies, you know the shoes with wheels in them. Then you should ride a skateboard for at least a year. Then (under supervision of course) get a good used tricycle. You can generally get your money back out of those on Craigslist. If at that point you feel it...

Just recently caught the TT Isle of Mann motorcycle race on cable. Definitely the most intense and interesting motorcycle race I've ever seen or heard of. Jealous of you guys in the UK who can witness in person. That would be soooo cool..

Where did you get your mirrors? Any mod required to mount them?
