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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
...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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
