    Seat to Peg Distance

    I have a right knee that has been altered surgically a few times and I think I might be a little more comfortable on the bike if the seat to peg distance were a shade bigger (perhaps an inch). It seems to me that the only opportunity here might be to change the seat. Can anyone tell me what...

    Foot Peg Change

    Are there options available for changing foot pegs? I'm curious, it still has not stopped raining here in Oregon and I was wondering if 1) anyone knew of a little less slippery design and 2) if they could be installed on the FZ6? Maybe it just my shoes too.:D

    Starting Trouble

    Here's one: My bike is an '07. Occasionally, when warm, it won't start immediately. I have to crank it a few times. If it was not fuel injected, I say it was flooded. Not a big problem, it just seems to be a little finicky at times. Others like this?

    Grip Change

    I'm looking to make a change in grips to my FZ6. I suffer from carpal tunnel in my age and want to change to a larger diameter, softer grip to reduce that tingly, numb feeling I get after an hour or so. Also, I had a throttle side paddle grip long ago and can't seem to find anything like it...

    New guy from Portland

    Greetings all, I'm new to the Forum and happy to be here. I bought the bike (2007) Sunday after being away from the sport for about 20 years. Back in the day I rode off road and street. Last bike I was on was a Honda CB400F. I bought the ZF6 because it is so similar to the Honda (save...
