    Riding position comp???

    So I'm considering getting a 06 FZ1 but I've not gone and looked at it yet. Does anyone know if the riding position is all that much different? I need something where the pegs are little lower and maybe a little more forward.

    Clutch controls / Foot pegs

    So I'm looking to make some changes the bike. First I need some new bars as the stock one's just SUCK, I'm also hoping to find something to help with the weird/lousy clutch pull and change the location of the foot pegs. So I'm asking for some thoughts/ideas on these items...

    Stick with FZ6 or go full liter

    Trying to decide between staying with my cheap FZ6 and modding it up some, or just selling it and getting FZ1. Having had liter bikes in the past I sure do miss the power, but I really like the cheapness of the FZ6. Mine is an 05 with just over 7k miles on it and it's all stock. Thing is, I...

    Signal light options....

    Sorry to rehash this but I've got a unique issue, I believe.. So here's a few pix of my issue, this is on the right side front fairing.. This was a botched repair job by the previous owner, somehow he ripped the light off and the plastics that the light attaches to are trashed.... So...

    First "REAL" ride on my FZ

    Went on a 150 miles ride today up in the Uinta Mountain range of Utah. Have to say I was pretty impressed with this bike. My buddy was on his '05 R1 and my bike had no problem keeping up.... My backside got a bit sore but other than that it was pretty fun...

    Tire changing.....

    So does anyone here change their own tires and if so, do you just use tire irons and remove and mount the tires. How do you protect the wheels and how do you balance the tire after the fact......

    Is it safe... RPM range?

    RPM range...Is it safe...? So just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how safe it is to be running these bikes up into the 11-12K range? I see on the gauge it reads redline at 14, but sheesh really can you safely pull this off, or will sustained high RPM like that cause engine damage? I come...

    Reserve?

    So, as a new owner of this fine machine I understand there is a reserve on this bike. The question I have is, what kind of indication do you see when you hit reserve and how many miles are left.

    Another newb ?

    I'm sure this has been addressed many times but my searches turn up nothing... More than likely bad search criteria, anyhow.... I'm just wondering, how far off are the speedometer's on these FZ6's? I've yet to have a bike that is accurate but it would be nice to know how fast I'm really going...

    What's the point/purpose?

    So I'm just wondering what the main purpose is of getting aftermarket exhausts? From what I'm reading they do not seem to increase performance at all or very little. Ya they make the bike sound better but is that all they accomplish? I'd really love some more bottom end but I guess an exhaust...

    Nubie here... first post!!

    Hey all, just wanted to drop in and say hi. I just picked up a new to me 05 FZ6 and I suspect I will be here often to learn and share!! So anyhow, on with my first of many questions... I've noticed that my bike seems to fall a little flat around 3500K RPM then wakes up again around 5+. I was...
