Hello all, sorry for the disappearance got busy at work this week. Pujazuba thank you for this last list it will be helpful. Today I started cleaning the FZ6 today and boy it is dirty, it has leafs all over and gunk all over the chain and other parts. Apparently no leaks of oil. The coolant...

Hello Mylo, Have you checked your vent into your tank? If the vent line is clogged then after a longer ride the engine may not run since there might be a vacuum inside the tank preventing fuel from leaving. Try to hear for a hissing noise when opening the tank cap after running for a while...

Hello all, I got good news! I'm now a legitimate member of this forum with an FZ6! [emoji3] Here it goes on what went down. As the Current owner brought the keys out, I was checking the bike. I could see a dirty bike, mainly street dust that has been sitting on it. I immediately asked for him...

Thank You Scott, I'll let everyone know the outcome.

Hello Pujazuba, Can you share your concerns as well please? Also, what do you consider a bargain? Thank You, Silas

Hello Red Wazp. Do you mind sharing what are the points of concern? Would the bike be toast from just sitting out there or you think it was no longer working and he put it there for this reason? I will be going there to check it out today. I was going to offer 750. Since i'm not sure what...

Hello Scott, Thank you for the extra points too look for. I will absolutely do what you suggested to check the front fairing. I will try to drive by and get some pics of it this weekend. Silas

Thank you FB400! I'll only be able to go look at it in person on Monday. I'll keep everyone posted and if I close the deal, I will create a dedicated thread for it here and show the whole process of bringing life and shine back into it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi agf! This is awesome reply thank you! It is the grey/silver one with grey/silver wheels. I kinda like it. But might eventually doing something a little different. The cheapest 2004 I could find on ebay/craigslist was around 2k so if i spend 600-700 to get it in good shape I will consider...
