Morning folks, hope you are all well. Tried to start the bike at the weekend following a few weeks without a good opportunity and couldnt start her. She has a Datatool System 4 fitted and I get a single beep every two minutes or so. I believe that this indicates a dead battery - can anyone...

Yes I did and couldnt find anything specific to my question.

Morning folks, OK, so its that time of year again in the Northern Hemisphere and the temperature here in the UK has dropped significantly. Last time I rode the bike, even with cold killers base layer gloves, nearly froze my hands off - not pleasant. I guess she will start to spend more...

So on the issue of the radiator. How would I check, in future, that it is full enough? I.e. is it merely a visual check and I should see fluid near the opening or is there an indicator? The manual isnt really clear in this regard.

Elm, what a fabulous idea, hadnt thought of that. Would be even better if I could get a flexible end to fit the syringe. Thanks

Its an 04. Next stupid question... Is is simply a visual check as far as the rediator is concerned?

Hey folks. I quickly need to preempt my question with an admission that I am not a very mechanical owner so i may appear a bit daft. I am enjoying the process of learning however. That said, I am looking through the manual pre-ride checks and am getting to grips with all the necessities but i...

You may have seem this in another thread but I can say from personal experience that the Bagster Seat is V.comfortable indeed - and looks great on the bike. This had been fitted before I bought her so I cant compare and constrast with the standard offering but I havent had anything close to...

Well, bought some Muck Off and WD40 to try both to get the chain-fling off metalwork and wheels and started with the WD40. Didnt even get to the Muck Off as WD40 is now my new hero. Simply sprayed a bit on some cloth and it wiped off like wiping dust off a sideboard. Excellent stuff.

Not legal at the moment but will be in the future. Not sure when though. That said, I am just about to take delivery of a Volvo so I will be ahead of the game.:thumbup:

I have been told by the Dealership that using a jet washer at a service station is fine but the Fz6 Manual says this is a no-no. i have been using simple washing up liquid which shifts the grime fine and then chamois the bike dry. What do you guys do to clean your bikes? Whilst i am...

Wolfman wins the Guess the Seat Award. It is indeed a Bagster and very comfortable it is too.

Rocky, i can confirm now that the seat is a Bagster Seat

Thanks for the welcome folks and I am pleased that you like my new best friend as much as I do.

Hey Racersws. Thanks for the nice comments. Just noticed where you live. I have been to Plano a few times before. I used to work for a company called ANS (Advanced Neuromodulation Systems) which were heaquartered there. Not a place I hear of much these days. Rocky... I think the seat...

I would love to Rocky, but the bike you see here is as I bought it from the dealership. I have done a quick Google search and cant find one there. I will ask the retailer and see what he can tell me.

Hey all, how goes it. I am a new biker having passed my test in the UK only one week ago and having done a lot of homework decided upon the Fz6-s for my first bike. I have attached some piccies of my new priide and joy below and I look forward to contributing to the forum.
