Do you have a pic of the tank bag on the bike by any chance?

Amazon.com : Bike Aid Dri-Slide 4oz. Lube with Needle Nozzle : Bike Oils : Sports & Outdoors I used this last year on all my cables, worked great. I bought my FZ with shorty levers already installed, once I rode a stock one it felt fairly uncomfortable. The reach on them was long for me...

I've done 148mph indicated on flat ground with no wind, it still had a bit more left in it but I ran out of road.

Yes I know I have the front on backwards here :D I love her when she's naked ;)

This, the FZ6 was my first bike as well and for the first couple weeks I was a bit jittery on it. What made it much worse was the fact that my tires were completely squared off for the first 3k of riding. After putting some Michelin PR3s in, it was like a totally different bike that practically...

Much appreciated :thumbup:

By any chance, does anyone know the PN for the caliper seals and if they're the same from S1 to S2?

Done :thumbup:

This is always something I've had in the back of mind, especially having been through the motions in a 3 car accident where I was t-boned and suffered a permanent back injury. I just did a new quote for this season and insurance is still pricy. 23 single male, no moving violations...

As my first my bike (22 years old), I warned my father the morning I was going to look at and possibly buy a sport touring motorcycle that day (He's not into cars or bikes). When I came home with it strapped to the bed of the truck and he saw the 2 brothers pipes sticking out of the back with...

Ha yep, I'm guilty of attempting this on my FZ6 just to see how much mileage I can squeeze out. I'm at a high of 54mpg US right now, I know I can hit 60 if I really try. I got 54 cruising at 75-115 on the interstate with about 3 WOT pulls, so she has more in her. Mileage was so good because I...

I do the same, when I'm in traffic I always make sure I'm somewhat in the powerband just in case. I only coast in neutral when there are no vehicles that can pose a threat. Regardless I won't be doing this any longer on public roads where I might need to speed up if a light changes, no sense...

Because its wasted momentum, I'm all about efficiency ;)

Awww thats no fun! ;) I will look into those for long distance riding, not a bad idea for the interstate. Sometimes the mind wanders looking ahead, you look down at the speedo and you're speed has crept up 15mph more than you had it :eek:

Roger that, thank you gents! FWIW, dropping down to first going over 25mph is perfectly smooth with a proper rev match (Though its very rarely necessary). I've only done this a handful of times so far, the first 2 times were when I was still noobing around and accidentally downshifting a gear...

Sometimes I goof off and want to relax my hands/ back/ shoulders when I'm approaching a red light an eighth of a mile away and there is no one behind me, riding up to it with no hands on the bars. Or I just want to coast without engine braking/ holding the throttle open. :rolleyes: Sometimes I...

Ditto, along with gloves as my Icons just ripped. All depending on color/ style of course. A man's gotta look good on the bike ya know ;)

I can't find any site selling this for an FZ6? I'm interested if its OEM spec and fit.

I never said I was going to throw it out, that would be a waste if its in good shape :) I think I'll skip the valve check and any bearings until next year. At this rate I should finish the next season with 25-30k on the clock and will just do everything else. I love how many miles I can...

*Chance- I'll be changing the oil before letting the bike sit just to be on the safe side. *Paragon- Thats a good point, I just might do that as well :thumbup: Exactly what Marini said. I'd rather have better filtration than a possible 1-2HP increase. Not to mention I'd rather just throw...
