    Multiple q's from a newbie

    Hi everyone, sorry to be a pain but can't find the answers I'm looking for by searching. When I test rode the 2004 FZ6 the seat got quite hot, I only did about half an hours riding. Is this normal? I was only wearing kevlar jeans but the heat was nearly high enough for it to hurt (well at...
