    Found this guy trying to hitch a ride...

    This little fella was on the tank after work today. Didn't want to leave either. Had to fight him off with a stick!

    Wisdom teeth...

    Went to the dentist yesterday for the first time in a couple of years for a check up. I'd had some pain a couple of weeks ago and noticed half a tooth coming through up the back. So apparently I have to get all of my wisdom teeth removed :eek: So I can forget about buying a new exhaust for...

    Attaching luggage - Advice needed

    Hi all, I'm going on a trip next week and need some advice fitting Oxford packs to my FZ6N. Please see the attached photos. Does anyone know exactly where the headstock strap goes for the tank bag? Is it PhotoA or PhotoB? Or neither? Photo A seems more correct to me but I'm worried about the...

    Spark plugs and air filter

    Hi all, I bought my FZ6 about 2.5 months ago. It's an '08 naked with approx. 22000kms on the dial. The dealer said they serviced it before I bought it but my guess is they just did the basics (oil, filter, chain etc). Edit: One of the main reasons for doing this is that I'm getting crappy...

    What would you buy?

    I just sold my trusty SV650S. I'm going to use some of the money on stuff for my new steed (2009 FZ6N). At this point I'm torn between buying a slip on exhaust system or a bunch of bits and pieces. My main reasoning behind a slip on is to make the bike louder for safety reasons. I live and...

    Fuel cap seal

    Hi all, I was unable to find a thread that addressed this question. Yesterday my bike was parked on the street during a massive downpour. Since I recently had the tank treated for rust around the fuel cap filler I decided to open up the cap and check for water. Sure enough, there was a...

    New FZ6 owner

    Hi all, I live in Sydney. I just bought a used 2009 FZ6N with 20,000 kms and so far LOVE IT! It's a massive upgrade from my 2002 SV650 in terms of technology and ride comfort. Main reason for the upgrade is that more and more I use my bike for commuting rather than joy riding. The FZ6 does it...
