    Change Oil Filter Every Oil Change?

    Still bitter about Purolator changing the filter to Gold, and giving it that rough sand paper finish... That shiz make my hand raw when I'm screwing the filter on and off. On a crrrrrazy side note, I found out the other day that my car and motorcycle take the same exact purolator filter! I...

    How To, RR, Front Pads, Lines, Fluid.

    I went to the website you mentioned but I only find SS lines for R6's. Is that what you picked up? *EDIT* Nevermind, it appears to be due to the year of my bike... 2005 MY Know where I can get SS brake lines for a 2005 FZ6? --Chris

    How many miles do you get out of your brake pads?

    Almost 29k miles, still on original pads, can still see the "wear groove" or whatever it's called. I check them often, just because I keep thinking by now they should be close to worn, but they still work and look great. --Chris

    FZ6 Engine

    I have a 2005 FZ6, and I love my bike. I test drove a 2007 FZ6 and there was a small but noticable difference in the lower end. Would I go out and buy a newer model because of the difference? No. Plus I like the silver engine instead of the blacked out engine. My sister owns a SV650, and...

    Change Oil Filter Every Oil Change?

    I am about to change the oil on my bike for the second time since I bought it... which is why I made this poll. I plan on changing the filter every time, because it's really cheap and takes about an extra minute to do. I purchase my filter at Bi-Mart which is a local retailer. I think I...

    Change Oil Filter Every Oil Change?

    Just wondering how many of you change your oil filter every time you change the oil. I believe in the manual, it says to change the filter every other oil change. Being as this is my first bike, and being familiar with cars, it seems odd to not change the oil filter every oil change. Is there...

    Lane Splitters are Foolish Beyond Belief!

    I saw someone lane splitting yesterday in traffic, and it is quite illegal here in Oregon. As a motorcycle rider, I was pissed when I saw him do this. It's dangerous all around since most if not all of the drivers on the freeway here aren't used to this. I was just waiting for someone to...

    bd43's 07 Headlight Mod Part 2

    I order the harness a couple of weeks ago, I was too busy tooling around with the woman to get it installed. I FINALLY installed the harness today, worked like a charm... I was a little worried that I hadn't hooked something up right when I turned the ignition on and neither light was...

    What's the best summer/fall protective jacket thats cheap? ($150 or under)

    I picked up the Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 the other night at my local shop for 135. I really like the jacket, removable waterproof liner, zipper to attach to pants, and loops in the waist band to clip onto your belt... All of the fasteners are velcro except for the elbows which are a button...

    New/Used FZ6 Owner - Oregon

    Hello all, I just recently purchased a 2005 FZ6 used from a private party. This is my first bike and I am glad I decided to get such a sweet ride instead of some ninja 250... :rof: The bike has 26k miles on it at this time, the previous owner was the original owner and used it for...
