    Indy Roll-Call!!

    The week is finally here... MotoGP @ Indy Motor Speedway!! Which of you guys/gals will be attending?? I will be a track marshall stationed about 2 feet from the "Brick Yard" at 1A (aka Start-Finish) and will be getting to see all the behind-the scenes action. Here's to hoping that Spies can...

    Woke up to a flat tire...

    Had plans to adjust, clean, and lube the chain and then head out for nice early afternoon ride today, but all was de-railed. When I went to go move the bike I noticed it was leaning a little far over on its sidestand and sure enough, rear tire is super-low. Not flat to the bone but pretty damn...

    Removing threaded inserts from bars??

    Picked up some sweet-looking bar-ends at one of my local dealerships today, got good weight to them, too. Only problem is, they're universal/threadless and I still have the stock handlebars. Is there a way to (safely) remove the threaded inserts from inside of the handlebars? Or do I need to...

    CF Luggage/Scratch Guard

    I don't have any saddle bags for the FZ6 yet, so any baggage I've brought along with me has been a backpack or tailbag strapped to the backseat. Looks like the previous owner was in the same situation, as there are a number of small scratches and scuffs between the passenger seat and the...

    Anyone mount mirrors to bars on Faired version?

    I've had the Fizzer for about a week now and I'm preparing a short-list of mods I'd like to get done this summer. I'm really not a fan of the stock mirrors at all and have not had any luck finding good looking mirrors that mount to the fairing. There are, however, a multitude of sexy mirrors...

    FINALLY a proud FZ6 owner!!!!

    Been a member here for almost 3 years now... Did a lot of digging around, research, etc. Always knew I liked the FZ6 but when it came purchase time things didn't work out perfectly. Ended up with the Wee-Strom, a great bike in its own right. Thought I was going to get to trade in for a new...

    Any former VStrom riders/owners?

    Hi all, I posted here a couple years ago when I was going through my "holy crap I need another motorcyle phase" when doing some research on the FZ6. I ended up getting a sweet deal on a barely used K7 Suzuki DL650 VStrom... Anyways, I've had the bike almost 2 years now, and part of me craves...

    I'm still planning on going streetfighter...

    ...even though I went with the "wee"strom instead of the Fizzer. Has anyone seen a naked one before? I found this picture, think it could be pretty sweet. Here's another one, probably a little more realistic for my DIY aspirations. I'll probably go ahead and keep her stocked up...

    Well I guess you can call me a traitor...

    But it looks like I won't be getting to join the FZ6 Owner's Club. :( I looked at a couple of the FZ's today and couldn't get much done about the price. Went to one last dealer before they closed and I left with the paperwork started on a 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 650. :ban: They shot me an...

    Tomorrow might be my lucky day...

    Going on a short trip tomorrow to take a look at this bad boy: Being the haggler that I am I will of course try to knock the price down a bit. What do you guys think should be a reasonable settling point? It's got 5,500 miles on it, as stock as they come, and without a scratch or ding. Any...

    Dumptrucks & Bouncing pebbles

    Last week I was driving home from work in my Explorer Sport Trac Cage and had to merge and get behind a dump truck. Before I could even slow down and get some serious space between the two of us, a big pebble falls off the back of the truck, takes a good hop off the slab, and pelts my...

    Gixxer headlight on an FZ6N?

    Is it possible to take a stock headlight assembly from a SS bike like a 'Busa or Gixxer? I assume a fair amount of wiring would need to be done and probably some custom-fashioned brackets as well. If it is possible, has anyone here done it, or seen pics of lights like that on a Naked Fizzer...

    Cost to powder coat 04/05??

    Hey all, new'ish guy here. Looking to purchase my Fizzer in the coming month or so... I was wondering if anyone knew how much money it would cost to get a 2004/2005 FZ powder-coated to make it look like the 2006+ models. My goal was to buy a 2006, but there seems to be so many 04 & 05...

    You've got me convinced

    Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself and share my story. I've been lurking around and browsing these forums since about Mid-May. I knew I'd be in the market to buy a new bike come Aug or Sept, but had no idea what to get. I rode a Honda Rebel 250 from age 14-16 and a Suzuki Savage 650...
