    No more FZ6

    Sold the FZ6 and decided to step into the world of dual sports. Here's my newest bike. It's an 08 DR-z400s. Has 52k miles, but the engine was rebuilt around 15k ago. Hell, even if it wasn't, it's a thumper. I can rebuild the top end with a few hundred dollars and a couple of hours. Lot's...

    Headlight relay

    Can anybody give me the part number for the headlight relay? Mine stopped working a while back so I installed a jumper in the wire and bypassed it, I no longer have the relay though and am thinking about selling/trading my bike so I want to fix it right.

    opinions on possible buy

    Might buy an 08 CBR1000RR with 15k miles from a guy at work. He picked it up from where he used to live a few months ago and said he had some work to do on it then he'd be ready to ride with me. Today I asked him if he had it ready yet, to which he replied he didn't have the time energy or...

    Laid it down the other day

    So the other morning on my way to work I'm getting ready to make a left turn off of a one way street. I had an suv in front of me so I couldn't see anything ahead. The suv and the the car ahead of it go through the turn. The pedestrian crosswalk had the flashing hand with about ten seconds on...

    Done for now

    I posted some pics a few weeks back with the headlight and cluster in place but not actually installed. I have everything installed now and figured I'd post a few pics.

    tire change

    Anybody have any tips for changing a tire? Had a gash in my rear tire and after receiving my new tire today decided to change it. It was a total pain in the ass. I'd read that breaking the bead was the hardest part, that part was simple. Getting the first side of the tire off the rim wasn't...

    opinions

    Just have everything mocked up so far, haven't wired or tightened anything down yet. What do you guys think? I should have gotten a bigger headlight i think, that one just looks a little too small to me. I also plan on getting one of the covers that goes over the back of the instrument...

    valve checks

    Doing valve checks on a new to me bike with 32k miles. PO only had it for about 2k miles and when I asked about it, he didn't even know what valve clearance was. Wondering if the first owner did it/had it done and it was screwed away. These numbers most are at or over the upper limit. Its my...

    new member in florida panhandle

    Hey all. Just got myself an 08 FZ6 and figured I'd stop in here to say hi. My last bike was an 07 YZF600r, sadly, she's been put to rest. Couldn't decide if I wanted to go full on Supersport or keep it a little more relaxed. I commute 70 miles a day and ride rain or shine. Clip ons have never...

    Does this sound like a decent deal?

    Hey guys, I'm here looking for a little advice. I'm fresh off of a totaled out yzf600r and looking for my next bike. Think I've pretty much narrowed it down to a FZ6 or FZ1. One of the ones I'm looking at is an 08 FZ6 with 31k miles for $2500. Owner says its been dropped at a stop and fairing...
