My FZ6 was the first bike I bought after completing my riding course. She has been an excellent first bike but the time has come to sell. I would always recommend this bike to any rider, new or experienced. It has the ability to be anything you want it to be, for any level of rider. This being...

Do it! Seriously, going 75ish on the naked for good chunks of the trip did not faze me one bit. See what I did there? :)

Ha, thanks! Yeah I was just kind of mentally spewing out all the notes and stuff I could think of from the trip so I hope it was somewhat coherent. :)

Ok here's a bunch of pics in no particular order

Facebook to Forum test. This is in the Avenue of the Giants

I have lots of pics, all on facebook. I should really get one of those free pic hosting accounts.

Myself and two buddies had this trip planned for a while. We left June 16th and arrived in Healdsburg on the 19th. I was on the FZ and my 2 buddies were riding an Aprilia Tuono VR4 and an 82 Goldwing. Quite the diverse group! We set off down the 101 and stopped in Ocean Shores Wa, Newport OR...

I ended up buying this bag! Actually I bought it's narrower brother Hazard4 Evac Plan B Sling Pack NOW AVAILABLE Awesome bag and looks great.

Yeah one of my co-riders on this trip just bought one. However he's riding an Aprilia RSV4 which was like riding a park bench. A REALLY fast park bench.

So my trip is going to be 4 days with a total of 5 hours of riding per day or less. Lots of rests. I've kinda spent all the money on gear that I want to so I'm hoping the stock seat will be ok. What do you guys think? Am I crazy? One option is my buddy has some gel seat inserts that I might...

+1 for Draggins. They looks great too. Not too baggy on me, (I have large quads), I'm thinking about having pockets sewn in for armor

I've only been riding for a year but shortly after I bought my bike it was taken for a ride by a former professional rider. He said the throttle on/off would be dangerous on a track. However, he also said he was pretty sure that other FZ6's he'd ridden weren't like this. This leads me to believe...

Vishnu, if you're reading this I've been trying to PM you for the last few days. Regarding the kit, yes, Vishnu's customer service is quite good. There were some issues with my VS1 kit however. The windscreen fit too loosely on the posts. Either the posts were too long or the grommets were...

So you have an FZ8 or a FZ6? The FZ8 fits better? I'm 6'4 and also not a fan of how I sit on the 6. The FZ1 bars helped a little but the foot pegs and controls are just a bit further forward than I'd like.

VAD1408 front. DEJ1308 rear. Not sure about the first part but I guess 08 is 08. No hairline cracks. Replace?

Appreciate the replies guys. The trip will be about 1600 km. I'll check the tire age. There are no hairline cracks.

Hey all, I bought my FZ6 last summer with only 1600 km on it. Original tires obviously. What I didn't notice until later was a plug in the rear tire. At first I thought it was gum and I was even trying to pull it out! lol. Anyways the bike now has 4500 km and I'm going to be doing a 3 day trip...

Thanks! Although that's a little more involved than I'm prepared to do.

Is there a thread about how to do this?

I really appreciate the response but I'm a little confused. I have the VS1 which isn't dual, side by side like the stock fairing. It's one main bulb (highbeam) and one bulb at the bottom (daytime). the daytime bulb is totally useless and can barely be seen at night. It looks like you sell a kit...
